LAS Language Arts Supplement, Spanish. Revised Edition.
DeAvila, Edward A.; Duncan, Sharon E.
Like its English counterpart, this is a collection of over 100 games and activities whose intent is to increase oral proficiency without requiring reading skills. The collection grew out of the desire to provide remedies for specific linguistic weaknesses in Spanish as identified by the Language Assessment Scales. Because tongue twisters, riddles, rhymes, and childhood games play a large part in the acquisition of the first language, these are emphasized. The Language Arts Supplement (LAS-LAS) is a language enrichment experience in two dimensions. First, it is not meant to instruct, in the sense of being didactic; there are no word or sentence pattern drills, per se. Wherever possible, the learning is meant to take place within the context of games and whimsey. Second, because of the large number of activities which come from the folklore of each language, the LAS-LAS is a linguistic cultural exchange. The activities can be done with a minimum of teacher guidance; the native-speaking students themselves provide the language model for the second language learners. The activites can also serve a useful pre-reading function to complement any Spanish language arts program. For each game or activity, the objective, materials needed, and procedure are given.
