INTRODUCTORY CLASS
We begin with a prayer.
For the first English class, all students meet together for the first 30 minutes. Introductions are made
and students are given a brief overview of what they will be learning.

We begin with the story of a woman who traveled by bus to Salt Lake City, Utah from Ozumba, Mexico
to receive her endowments in the temple. It was the year 1940 and Mama Sefi had saved for many years
to make the trip. She obtained permission to leave the country, taking a train to El Paso and boarding a
bus from there to Salt Lake.
Mama Sefi did not speak any English, but someone had taught her to say “apple pie”. Whenever the bus
stopped for food, she would order “apple pie”. Even though this trip lasted for several days, Mama Sefi
ordered the same thing both coming and going because the only words she knew in English were “apple
pie.”

Tell the students that they will be learning a much broader vocabulary and after the classes have ended,
they will be able to say many things in English.

DISCUSSION

When is the best time to plant a tree? Answer: Twenty years ago.
When is the next best time to plant a tree? Now
Now, is the time for students to learn English.

Show the picture of the sprinter and explain that learning English is not easy but can be done. It is not a sprint
to the finish line.

Show the picture of the marathon runners. Learning a new language is more like a marathon. A steady pace
will get you to the finish line.

What are some of the advantages of learning English? (Make certain that all of the major reasons to learn
English are discussed with the class).
What things might be hard about learning and what can we do to overcome them?
What are you willing to do to accomplish this goal?

We then hand a blank piece of paper to the students to write down their goals for what they want to
accomplish during this class.

We then commit them to learning strategies:

•
Theta Scan with cut out fold cards -10/nightly/24/7
10 = Review within 10 minutes of learning
Nightly= Review materials 10 minutes before going to bed
24 = Review again within 24 hours
7 = Review various times during next 7 days

•
Watch 2 English Speaking Movies/week
•
Listen and practice Modules with the Audio
•
Watch T.V. in English
•
Practice Cut Out Fold Cards and practice with other English speakers
•
Listen to the radio in English

a _____

i _____
o _____
u _____

After we give each student a copy of the 60 Common Verbs, cut out and folded, we demonstrate and have them
repeat them with proper pronunciation. If there is enough time, the teacher should read/explain to the students
how the gesture techniques will be used in the classes. We then close with a prayer.

IX.

Introduction to the alphabet and vowels in English

As part of this introductory lesson, if there is time, we should introduce the students to the alphabet and to
vowels as pronounced in English. You can slowly pronounce each and ask them to repeat them after you,
calling on a volunteer and helping someone to model the appropriate sound. Do not spend too much time,
but also ask them to write the capital and lower case letters in the boxes indicated below as well as the
spaces beside the vowels so that they associate the pronunciation they are hearing from you with the letter
they are writing. Eventually, the pronunciation will help them to more quickly learn to read English.

We then introduce them to the 60 verbs that we will be studying in this series of
classes. These verbs will become their friends like the friends in the movie Tres
Amigos.
