Introduce Physical Appearance Through Chant: A fun way to enrich Students’ Vocabulary

A Brief About Jazz Chant
American ESL teacher Carolyn Graham (1979), has created many rhymes with rhythms especially designed for English teaching. She calls these "jazz chants". Jazz chants can be used in a primary classroom for a variety of reasons:
  • To teach the natural rhythm, stress and intonation of conversational English.
  • To recall a grammatical point, i.e., present simple, past simple, pronouns, questions, etc...
  • To teach language functions, i.e., asking for information, giving explanations, etc...
  • To develop students' listening and speaking skills.
  • To create an interesting, relaxing atmosphere that helps students in acquiring the new language.
Presenting Chants
The following steps help in presenting a chant to your students:
  • Review the main structure in the chant.
  • Chant it to familiarize students with it.
  • Say one line at a time and ask students to repeat after you.
  • Say the line again, clapping or snapping your fingers where the language is stressed as indicated by the asterisks (*)
  • Have students repeat the chant several times with clapping or snapping of fingers.
  • Write the chant on the blackboard or a chart.
  • Many chants are designed for two groups. For these, divide the class into two groups.
Group A chants the lines on the left. Group B chants lines on the right. In a question-answer chant, for example, Group A would ask the questions and group B answer them.

The Traditional Game of Engklek and Its History
The Traditional game of engklek is also called sunda manda which has been believed having its real name from Dutch as ‘Zondag Maandag’. Based on its history, the game was brought by Dutch in to Indonesia when they made colony in the past. It is believed in that the game was brought in to Indonesia by the Dutch .
Though nowadays there is no authentic evidence that is able to conclude about the history of the traditional game of engklek. However in World War II this game was very popular for girls in Europe. While in Indonesia, the dutch girls played the game in colonial era. Indeed the game was mostly played by girls, though, in fact boys also played the game.
After Indonesia gained the independency from colonialism, the game remained in Indonesia and became increasingly known by children in Indonesia. As well as its spread, as the time goes by the game become popular and spread to all over the country. At last, there are no children who do not know about the game.

Player in The Traditional Game of Engklek
The game is always played by girls age of eight to ten years old. It is very rare that the game is done by boys or teenager. Probably because the game is more identical with girls.
The game can be played by a child or more, but it can be played also in team. If it is played in team, commonly there are two teams consist of some children.
