(Adapted and cited from the national training labratory, Bethal Maine)
To help students learn and remember, we must engage all their senses in most of the exercises, even
beyond the listed instructions throughout!
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. VII.
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.
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.

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.

ACTING OUT VERB CONJUGATIONS WITH GESTURES
It is very important that all teachers model and regularly use this gesture practice.
Learn and use gestures for the persons and tense conjugation practice. Students, you should learn and use
in the first or at least by the end of the second class the gestures for the persons of I (point to self with both
hands), You (reach out in front of you with one hand open faced and up), We (reach both arms and hands
in front in an inclusive gesture, They (stretch both hands out in front with both hands facing a group of
people), He (point sideways with hand face down towards a man), She (point sideways with hand face
down towards a woman), and It (point down toward an imaginary cat or dog). As you, the student, learn the
tenses, do so giving the gestures. Put your books down and make the same gestures as the Teacher and
Assistant Teachers while you give the appropriate responses. This is very important so you internalize the
communication as your own. Soon, when you hear a simple sentence pattern such as I write the letter, you
will be able to repeat the phrase and do the same appropriately merely when seeing the gesture for You or
We or They or He or She or It. This is very effective and helps you retain your learning! Remember
that a class or train or anything singular (other than a person) is an It, but that two Its require the
conjugation for They.
Aprender y usar gestos para las personas y conjugacion de tiempos. Alumnos deberan aprender y utilizar
en la primera o por lo menos por el final de la segunda clase los gestos de las personas de la I (apuntar a s
mismo con las dos manos), Usted (apuntar hacia alguien delante de usted con una mano abierta frente y
arriba), Nosotros (llegar a los brazos y las manos en frente en un gesto inclusivo, Ellos (estirar ambas
manos en frente con ambas manos frente a un grupo de personas) , l (apuntar de costado con la mano
hacia abajo hacia un hombre), Ella (apuntar de costado con la mano hacia abajo hacia una mujer) y It
(apuntar hacia abajo hacia un perro o gato imaginario). Como usted, el estudiante, aprende los tiempos hagalo
dando as los gestos. Ponga sus libros en su sallia y haga los mismos gestos como el Maestro y Maestros
Asistentes mientras Ud. da las respuestas apropiadas. Esto es muy importante para internalizar la
comunicacin como su propia. Pronto, cuando escuche un simple frase como Escribo la carta, usted ser
capaz de repetir la frase y conjugando lo mismo apropiadamente simplemente al ver el gesto de Usted o
Nosotros o Ellos o El o Ella o Lo. Esto es muy eficaz y ayuda a conservar tu aprendizaje! Recuerde que
una clase un tren o cualquiera cosa singular (excepto una persona) es un It. Pero de dos, seria plural y
requiere la conjugacin para Ellos.

Teacher and Assistant Teachers: Circulate among the students to help them with this question and answer pro-
cess. As your students progress, they will be provided other questions to ask and answer in other tenses, such
as conditional, past, and past progressive. Do not include tenses they have not yet learned, but help them use

Learning English from Films 13
(3 classes with subsequent Review)
Many Language teachers and learners agree that a most effective way to learn a
language is with videos and movies.Films provide easy access to language content
and settings. Watching films uses both audio and visual paths to learning language.
It presents language in full cultural context with real people and settings, providing a
whole-language experience. Both the verbal and nonverbal content are present,
focusing the learners attention on the actors, their language, and actions. Movies
lower the learners affective filter by capturing attention, increasing motivation,
instilling self-confidence, and reducing anxiety.
Feature films and videos, while highly interesting in content, allow for a pre-speaking
or listening phase, along with some limited reading. By presenting these passive skills
first, the student can ease into the language learning process in preparation for
developing the active skills of speaking and writing.
Next to real-life language experiences with native speakers, movies provide the best
exposure to language in a non-contrived context. In summary, movies give students
language on a silver platter.
C
Advance Organizer for Teaching ESL/EFL Using Video:
1. Give brief introduction to video: title, type (fact, fiction), setting, main characters, several inter-
esting or key points of the story: President Gordon B. Hinckley tells a story of an older boy and
his young companion.
a) The boys find an old coat and a badly worn pair of shoes by the roadside.
b) What happens with the shoes?
c) What is the farmers reaction?
d) How do the boys feel?
Explain that the video contains many of the common verbs.
2. Play Video: http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages?v=911029440001
a) Ask students for any new sound, word, phrase, or sentence they heard.
b) As students provide these, teacher puts them into context, gives a similar word
or briefly explains meanings, models them, and asks students to repeat the
words/phrases. (Do this expeditiously.)
c) Re-play the video.
C Ask for Student Responses (Do several of each type of question.)
C Teacher- The learning process outlined above has been time-tested and works effectively.

Example:
I used to ride my bicycle every day when I was a child. (I am not a child now.)
I used to exercise at the gym every Tuesday.
I used to visit my friends in Georgia every summer.
Past Facts
The Imperfect Verb Tense is also used for facts and generalizations that were true in
the past but are not true in the present.
Example:
I used to live in California, but now I live in Utah.
Alicia used to be a student, but now she has a full-time job.
My sister used to live in Miami, but last year she moved to Boston.
Assistants- help students write and say sentences using a few of these words. When correct, teach them to
the other students in your group.
Project the exercise. Have the students fill in the blanks in their notebooks and then repeat the
sentences after the teacher.
C Create and share some of your own sentences with the imperfect tense using the words used to and
the infinitive of some of the 60 common verbs.
Practice: write sentences using the form used to and the words below.
1. Kaylee / work at the museum. Kaylee used to work at the Museum.
2. Tamara / work / every weekend.
3. We / live near the ocean.
4. They / study math / every day.
5. Ryan and Holly / watch TV /
every day.
6. Jeffrey / go to college.
7. David / visit his cousins /
once a month.
8. My brother / want to be a pilot /
when he was younger.
The simple present tells us facts or generalizations about the present time.
Examples: Today is Thursday.
We live in Utah. They live in California. He lives in New York.
I work at Walmart. You work at the bank. She works full-time.
Everyone studies English. My brother studies mathematics. You study art.
The Imperfect tense tells us that the action was repeated in the past.
Part 1: Imperfect Part 2: Simple Present
My sister used to live in Florida, but now she lives in Louisiana.
C Play charades, you first, then students, acting out some of the action verbs and helping the students
describe what you, he, she or we used to do. Gesture the conjugations.
1. I visited Colorado last summer. 2. There are some great hiking trails nearby.
Thats neat! I used to live there. We should go together sometime.
3. Where are you from? 4. Before moving here, what did you
I have lived all over the place - used to do?
Pennysylvania, Tennesse, Texas I used to work for a bank, and on the

Putting It All Together: Stories 18
(6 classes with subsequent Review)
2. Read story aloud one paragraph at a time. Teacher talks, students listen.
a. Ask students for any new sound, word, phrase, or sentence they heard. As students provide these, teacher puts them into
context, gives a similar word or briefly explains meaning, models them, and asks students to repeat the word/phrase. (Do
this expeditiously.)
b. Put everything back into context by reading or telling paragraph again.
4. Teacher may want to have students write a sentence or two as dictated by teacher.
Or, dictate several questions, students write the questions and their answers.
Ask two or three students to do their responses on the blackboard during this exercise. Teacher circulates and puts a check mark
above any errors for students to correct. Finally, ask students to provide answers as needed.
Two or even three stories are okay. Teacher can take a couple of days (story a day with second-day followup)
or more to work the Advance Organizer process completely. After each completion, give students an assign-
ment to write their own story to hand in for teacher to read and make positive written comments in the mar-
gins. Teachers should not correct them. Also, do not use RED ink for your comments. Teacher may want to
make a list of the most common occurring errors and then treat them generally with the entire class. Students
can assess and correct their own papers.
Additional activities, including verb-focused questions, vocabulary, matching exercises, additional discussion
questions, and cloze exercises are presented at the end of each reading. You may do these for extra practice in
class, or assign them for homework.
I would like to share with you my life story of language learning, travel and Latin
American friends. My first exposure to Spanish and Latin America came when my
family used to live in Southern California. One summer, my family drove to San
Diego and south to Tijuana and Ensenada Mexico. I was only 11 years old. I met
Mexican children and wanted to be able to talk with them. I wanted to learn
what their life was like. I wanted to know what they studied in school. I wanted to
know what their families were like. But I couldnt understand anything they said. I
decided then and there that I was going to take Spanish classes.
My teacher was Seora Hernandez. She taught us about Mexican culture and
festivals. With her help, I also learned how to speak some Spanish. I even developed
a crush for a Mexican girl named Cathy Martinez. We used to play the game four
square together. She would hit the ball hard and get me out. All in all, I took Spanish
classes two years in middle school and two years in high school. Our high school
Spanish teacher was Mr. Rossbach. He was a weightlifter, a real muscle man. Once
he ripped a telephone book in half to impress us. I had never seen anything like that
before. I remember studying and practicing Spanish verb tenses and conjugations
under his teaching. I liked it a lot.
A few years later, I was asked to serve a mission for my Church in Argentina.
I had studied Spanish for four years, but when I arrived in Argentina, I could
hardly understand anything. It took me four months, and then I got used to not
understanding everything. I loved the food, the empanadas, the chorizos and
What a life! And it all began with a short visit to Tijuana, Mexico, and a desire to
make new friends!
These questions focus on helping students understand the ideas in the passage.
When did the writer decide to take Spanish classes?
Why did the writer decide to take Spanish classes?
When did the writer go to Argentina? Why did he go to Argentina?
Do you think the writer is happy that he has learned Spanish? Why do you think that?
Was it easy for the writer to learn Spanish? How do you know?
Etc.
Directions to students: Look at the phrases used in the passage. Match the phrase from the passage on
the left with the best synonym on the right.
LF Cloze Exercise

Directions to teachers and students: At this point, you may present the second example story below using the
steps outlined above. Pay close attention to the common verbs. You may also choose to skip this section and start
working on your own personal story.
Hi, my name is Allison. Im sixteen years old. I am a junior at Orem High School
in Utah. I would like to tell you about my hike up Mount Timpanogos. Mount
Timpanogos, or Timp as we like to call it, is a high mountain just five miles from
my home. It is almost 12,000 feet high and very steep. Its a beautiful mountain.
On Labor Day holiday this September, my brother-in-law, Mike, took me and my
brother Daniel, his friend Cameron, and my friends Marie and Brittany on a hike to
the top of Timp. We left at five oclock in the morning. We drove up Provo Canyon
to Aspen Grove where we began our hike up the mountain. The distance to the top
of the mountain was nine miles. Our round trip was over eighteen miles. We started
hiking at six-thirty and arrived at the top at one-thirty in the afternoon. It took us
seven hours to make the climb up. We rested and ate our lunch at the top by the
shack which was built there many years ago. We started down at three oclock in
the afternoon and arrived at the bottom by six oclock in the evening.
There are many interesting sights to see on this hike. One of the neat things we
saw was mountain goats. They live high on the mountain. One walked right in front
of us. We passed by a waterfall. I took a picture of Cameron standing in front of it.
There were many open meadows with lots of pretty wildflowers everywhere. About
halfway up the mountain we arrived at Emerald Lake. Its a beautiful clear lake with
a snow glacier running into it from the mountain above. When we got higher on the
mountain we could see the beautiful sunrise to the east of us. On top we could see
Deer Creek reservoir on the east side of the mountain, and the cities of Orem and
The highlight of the trip was our slide down the glacier above Emerald Lake. I took
a picture of Daniel sliding down it. Other high points were: arriving at the top and
looking in all directions for hundreds of miles, climbing with my family and friends,
seeing the beautiful scenery, looking at the wildlife, and the challenge of making
the trip.
If you ever take a hike like this, be sure to dress warmly, take plenty of water and
high-energy food. You should also wear good hiking boots and make sure you go
with someone who knows the trail. Mike has hiked Mount Timpanogos dozens of
times and knows what to do.
I hope you enjoyed reading about my hiking adventure. If you want to learn more
about hiking Timp, you can search for information on the Internet.

Part A: For each sentence, ask the students to circle the common verb and identify the verb tense:
Mr. Rossbach.
11. I would like to share with you my life story
said.
13. I had never seen anything like that before
Part A: For each sentence, ask the students to circle the common verb and identify the verb tense:
Part B: Choose 3 of the sentences above. Write sentences using that verb for each of the verb tenses.
The following is a chart with all of the major tenses conjugated for the 60 Common Verbs
You have studied the 60 most commonly used verbs in English, and the major tenses and their conjugations.
Now it is time to help you feel more comfortable in moving from one tense to another as you conjugate these
verbs for the various persons. Lets review the chart together and note some obvious patterns. This will help us
put it all together.
1. Memorize the meaning of all the 60 Common Verbs. Use the fold cards we are providing.
2. Note that for most of the tenses, the conjugations are very regular. Verbs are easier in English than in
Spanish.
3. For the Present Tense, the verb remains the same, except for 3rd person singular (He / She / It )
an s is added: arrive - arrives (usually the s sounds like a z)
an es is added: cash- cashes (usually the s sounds like a z)
an i replaces y, followed by es: cry - cries (usually the s sound like a z)
For the 58 common verbs there are only a few exceptions to these basic rules.
4. The Imperfect Past is easy, just place used to in front of the main verb used to arrive
Its the same for all persons I / You / We / They / He / She / It used to arrive.
5. The Future Tense is easy, just place will in front of the main verb will arrive
Its the same for all persons I / You / We / They / He / She / It will arrive.
6. The Conditional/Modals are easy, just place would , could or should in front of the verb would arrive
Its the same for all persons I / You / We / They / He / She / It would arrive (could / should arrive)
7. The Present Progressive is easy, just drop (remove) the e and add ing to the main verb arriving
The main verb does not change. The helping verb changes am, are, is
I am arriving.
You / We / They are arriving.
He / She / It is arriving.
If the main verb ends in a consonant, just add ing. Ex. talk talking
8. The Past Progressive keeps the -ing form of the word and adds the past tense of the helping verb --
was, were.
I was arriving
You/We/They were arriving
He/She/It was arriving
NOTE: Some verbs are generally not used in the present progressive tense because they describe general
emotional states that do not change easily. These verbs are called nonaction verbs and include know, like, love,
and want.
10. The Present Perfect Tense is regular for about 1/3 of the common verbs.
Use the Present Tense helping verbs have or has
I / You / We / They have arrived.
He / She / It has arrived.
(Note that the past participle remains the same for all persons.) However, you have to memorize the many
irregular past participles.
As an example, the past participle of speak is spoken. For go, its gone, For write, its written, (etc.)
11. Remember the contracted forms for the different persons in the Present Tense:
I am Im You are Youre He is Hes
We are Were She is Shes
They are Theyre It is Its
12. Remember the contracted forms for the different persons in the Future Tense:
I will Ill He will Hell
You will Youll She will Shell
We will Well It will Itll
They will Theyll
13. Remember the contracted forms for the different persons and the negative form in the Present Perfect
Tense:
I have Ive I have not I havent
You have Youve You have not You havent
We have Weve We have not We havent
They have Theyve They have not They havent
He has Hes He has not He hasnt
She has Shes She has not She hasnt
It has Its It has not It hasnt
Pass out:
This sheet with the Quick Reference List.
The full Common Verb chart; hole punched for immediate placement in the students notebooks.
Give the students a verb in English, and then ask them to find the verb on the chart.
Then give them one of the sample sentences below the verb on the chart. Use one of the easier tenses
(such as simple present, simple past, or simple future).
Read the sentence for the students, and then have the students say the sentence with you.
Next, ask them to find the conjugation that was used in the sentence immediately above on the verb
chart.
Repeat this several times with the other sample sentences for the same verb for increasingly challenging
tenses until the students know how to use the chart.
Be creative the goal is to help students know how to use the chart.

Preparation for the OPIc Certification Exam
from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign
19
Languages (ACTFL)
(10 or more classes as needed with 1 Assistant Teacher per every 2 students. )
T Notes to the Teacher (to be shared and explained to the students in detail)
The OPIc is a listening and speaking test offered by the American Council on the Teaching of
Foreign Languages (ACTFL). Its the gold standard of tests. To help students prepare to score
well, it is strongly recommended that the teacher review the information on this page with
them approximately one month prior to their taking the OPIc exam. With an Intermediate or
better score, your students will be able to show their Certificate to help them get a better job in
many fields.
OPIc Preparation
The Oral Proficiency Interview by computer (OPIc) begins with a survey to identify subjects
about which the student has some experience. The actual interview then focuses on these
subjects, such as
their family
their home
the classes they have taken and liked
the schools they have attended
the cities where they have livedmake comparisons
the hobbies or activities they enjoy
the kind of music they like
their friends and things they do together
the foods they like or dislike
a career they might like to have, and so forth
their job
Students might be asked to describe what these things are like in their home city or country.
They might also be asked to compare them with other cities where they have lived or visited. If
they do not know much about a particular subject, they should be prepared to respond in an
appropriate fashion such as, I dont know that much about (living) in (Los Angeles), but I can
say that (Dallas is a friendly city).
Students should spend approximately one month preparing for the OPIc by describing things
and activities (like those mentioned above) in detail, comparing their understanding and
experiences from one city or location or friend to another, or from one time in their life to
another. They must understand that they will likely be asked to describe an interesting
experience on a walk with a friend, a class that they particularly enjoyed and why, their favorite
activity/hobby and the favorite activity of their friends, and so forth. The ability to narrate, or
recount events using the correct past tense verb conjugations is important.
OPIc Prerequisites
The student must qualify to take the OPIc by doing the following:
Attend at least 80% of the EFY Now classes (after including make up classes if needed).
Complete the study and practice of the first 19 modules in English For You Now.
Complete all of the exercises in Modules 1-19.
Be able to pronounce well all the words in the initial sections of Module 1.
Be able to read fluently, with good pronunciation, all of the dialogs in Modules 1-19.
Have mastered the usage in sentences, along with good pronunciation, of the 60
Common Verbs and the various tenses found in Module 18.
Be able to read, understand and use, with good pronunciation, the descriptive words
and phrases in Modules 18 and 19.
Be able to fluently describe and compare the subjects described above, because some
of them are very likely to come up on the OPIc exam. Everything else in these modules
will help you prepare for this. This is the most critical part of the OPIc preparation.
The students should prepare draft responses, which should be reviewed and
edited by the Teacher/Assistant Teacher. Then the students should practice hearing
questions on the subjects and giving appropriate responses with good
pronunciation. This is critical to their success.
Teachers/Assistant Teachers should pass out the following sheets to the students and help them fill out one or
two of them during each class. Then, two more should be given to them as homework. This should continue
until the students have filled out a complete, flowing and appropriate response with good grammar for each
of the questions, all with the Teacher/Assistant Teachers help. Each answer should contain at least 4 or 5 well
structured sentences.
6. What cities have you lived in or visited, and how would you compare them?
10. Do you go on walks with your friends? Where and what do you talk about?
12. Tell me about your work (job), and what you like or dont like about it.
Instruction: Practice asking these questions and similar questions and having the
students respond appropriately with excellent pronunciation. In addition, have each
student know how to ask a similar question of the computer. This will likely be part of
the oral proficiency interview, namely asking the question back to the computer.
Many standard tests, including the ACTFL-OPIc will test you on descriptions which
may include the attached materials.
Kimberly has short, curly hair. Marty has long hair and a beard.
Stuart wears glasses and has blue eyes. Gary has a mustache and hazel eyes.

My Answer:
I listen to the "Oldies But Goodies" songs of the 50s and 60s. I also listen to the Tabernacle Choir. My favorite
artist is Chet Atkins. He's a famous guitar player. When I was at BYU, I played guitar in an orchestra on
campus. This was back in 1959-61. I also played trombone in the BYU Marching Band in 1955-56.
My Answer:
I don't listen to the radio very much. My favorite TV channel is probably Channel 77 (cable). I like to watch
the old shows, such as Andy Griffith, Gunsmoke, and Bonanza. I also watch BYU Channels 11 and 21.
3. Can you recommend any movies to rent or see? Why do you like those films?
My Answer:
Some movies I recommend are: Shane, The Other Side of Heaven, Till the Clouds Roll By, Showboat, Seven
Alone, and there are others. Most of these are older shows. The movie Shane is a classic western and probably
the most popular western of all time. I like these movies because they have good values, and I like the
settings--mostly western. The movies "Till the Clouds Roll By" and "Showboat" are older musicals. The
former one is about the life of Jerome Kern, a famous song writer. The latter one is a musical history of
show business life on a Mississippi river boat.
My Answer:
The thing I like to do most is go to the desert and look for mineral crystals. I spend a lot of time at Topaz
Mountain in southwestern Utah. I also like to go fishing in the mountains, hiking, and backpacking. When I
was younger, I went skiing and snow shoeing a lot. I like to be outdoors and breathe the fresh air and see the
beautiful scenery. Out on the desert you can see for forty to fifty miles in any direction and find no one.
My Answer:
My favorite participator sport is fishing. I like it because it gets me outdoors and in beautiful country. My
favorite spectator sport is American football. I like it because every play is like a mini drama. Each player
has his role or part to play, and this makes it interesting.
My Answer:
Yes, my favorite season is summer. I like the warmth. I don't like the cold. I can do many more outside
activities in the summer. My favorite summer activity is gardening. I raise a fairly big garden in my
backyard each summer. I also very much like spring and fall. This is when I go to the desert because it's not
so hot.
My Answer:
I went to a rural grade school in the country. There were about ninety kids in the entire school. There were
eight grades. We didnt have kindergarten. The schoolhouse was built of native rock, and it had a large bell
tower on top. There was no grass on the playground. I lived a mile from the school and rode the bus each day.
