Revisited:
Mercer Mayer’s
„Just Grandma‚
and Me“ auf
CD-ROM – eine
sprachliche
Fundgrube für den
Englischunterricht.
Mercer Mayers1 Kinderbuch „Nur Oma und ich“
(ab 3 Jahren) liegt wiederum auf CD-ROM vor
.Die Serie „Living Books“2
auf CD-ROM eignet sich
bestens für den Englischunterricht ab der 1. Klasse
AHS und HS. In diesem
Artikel sollen nicht nur
einige Übungsanregungen
gegeben werden, sondern
es soll in erster Linie das
vielfältige sprachliche Material, das in „Just Grandma and Me“ steckt,
interessierten Kolleginnen
und Kollegen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

Zunächst einmal die Geschichte auf
einen Blick: We went to the beach,
just Grandma and me. I wanted to set
up the beach umbrella, but the wind
was too strong. I flew my kite instead. I bought hotdogs for Grandma
and me, but they fell in the sand so I
washed them off. I found a nice seashell for Grandma but it was full of a
crab. I wanted to blow up my sea
horse, but I didn’t have enough air.
So Grandma helped me a little. I told
Grandma to take me way out in the
deep water, but not too far. I put on
my mask and showed Grandma how
I can snorkel. I dug a hole in the sand
for Grandma. Then I covered her up
and tickled her toes. I built a sandcastle just for Grandma but a big
wave came. Grandma said that’s
what happens to sandcastles and we
will build a new one next time. On
the way home Grandma was tired so
I told her I would watch for our stop.
We had a good time at the beach, just
Grandma and me.
ma her eher für jüngere Kinder ab
drei Jahren gedacht - versteckt ist,
soll zeigen, dass wir es hier mit einem wahren „Schatz“ für den Englischunterricht in der 1. oder 2. Klasse
AHS oder HS zu tun haben. Je nach
dem sprachlichen Niveau der Schülerinnen und Schüler kann diese Fundgrube an sprachlichem Material genutzt werden.
Jede der 12 Seiten besteht aus einem
kurzen Text, versteckten Dialogen
(„hidden dialogues“), die erst durch
Anklicken eines bestimmten Dings
oder einer Person gehört werden
können und vielen überraschenden,
lustigen „hot spots“, die als Sprechimpulse genützt werden können. Die

Sprache zur Bedingung zu machen,
wenn eine Schülerin oder ein Schüler
eine Seite des Buches vorstellen
möchte.
