In the story telling part, I prepare a story about animals on the farm. After hearing the story with audio, I will show the worksheet to the child (6 questions about the story) to ensure he/she know the task. Then I ask the child to listen carefully again and try to complete the worksheet with my help. We will listen the third time and check the answers. And then I will ask the child to retell the story to help him memorize the words and learn the sentence patterns such as "there be...", "What is it?", "It is...", etc.
It is likely that we will still have time after finishing the story telling part, I chose a video clip "Farm Animal Song" by Peter Weatherall for a relax. The child not only enjoy the funny song and refresh himself but also remember the vocabulary of animals learned before. And we together learn to sing the song.
To enlarge the child's vocabulary of animals and the sentence patterns we have learned before, I also prepare an animal-matching game(http://www.kinderwebgames.com/cat.html). In this online game, the child is asked to listen to the question like "Which is the cat?", and then match the picture of the animal with its proper name.
The teaching is based on the audio-visual learning style with graphic information as well as listening materials.
