"Teacher, Teacher, Can't Catch Me!": Teaching Vocabulary and Grammar Using Nursery Rhymes to Children for Whom English Is an Additional Language
Concannon-Gibney, Tara
Reading Teacher, v75 n1 p41-50 Jul-Aug 2021
Children who are learning English as an additional language (EAL) need opportunities to learn English in playful, engaging ways. Nursery rhymes offer an effective forum to explore a wide range of vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a manner that is comprehensible to EAL pupils by using gestures, visuals, and props to support oral language development. This article explores how a pre-kindergarten teacher used nursery rhymes to teach vocabulary and grammar in her diverse early years' classroom.
