Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***198 high-frequency German verbs with 198 matching English verbs cards*** really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for ***GCSE German*** learners, as they prepare to move into and work confidently at ***advanced level German***. Each set features ***99 German verbs in the infinitive form***, with ***99 corresponding English verbs cards***, and an ***18-page Reference, Recall & Write Workbook***. The games and activities are a really successful alternative to more traditional 'vocabulary drilling' exercises. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their core ***German verbs vocabulary*** in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The game cards and accompanying ***Recall & Write challenges*** have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing and spelling***. It doesn’t matter if any of the verbs don’t feature in your medium or even longer-term learning plan: this is a great way of encouraging your students to engage with new language, and to build their vocabulary at the same time. This prepares them really well for ***creative activities in German*** - they will have a rich vocabulary to choose from. Students can work independently of the teacher, challenging themselves and each other in their best ***German*** accent to find all the matching verbs cards in ***German and English***. The card templates allow students to ***apply their German knowledge practically and creatively***, as they put together mini-quiz cards for each other, preferably from memory. The ***Reference, Recall & Write*** book has 18 pages. It includes an alphabetical ***German-English*** reference list of all 99 verbs. Students find this really useful as a learning support resource, and it comes in very handy for quick vocabulary quizzes too. The ***Recall and Write challenges*** help students familiarise themselves with, and really embed, the range of verbs in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in ***German***. It’s also a great way of developing literacy skills in ***German***. The challenges can be done several times, as students simply cover previous responses, so they definitely get a lot of use from a single workbook. ***There are three differentiated recall challenges:*** ***Written Recall Challenge One*** students write the English verbs from a German prompt, with all the verbs in alphabetical order, German-English. ***Written Recall Challenge Two*** again, students write the verbs in English from a German prompt, but the German verbs are now in random, rather than alphabetical order. Language learners often learn or are familiar with new vocabulary in a particular order, so it increases the recall challenge by changing that order. ***Written Recall Challenge Three*** the final challenge requires students to write the corresponding German verb from an English prompt. The English verbs are also in random order. This challenge really helps with vocabulary recall, which is quite challenging when vocabulary does not appear in the context of a sentence. It's really useful for spelling in German too. I encourage students to visit the ***Ideas, Notes and Next Steps*** page regularly, reflecting not only on the verbs they feel confident about, but also how they think their ***skills in listening, speaking, pronouncing German, reading and writing*** are developing - and equally importantly, what they can reasonably do to keep improving. I always have activities where creative application of language is required too, so that they can use the verbs in real-world contexts, which is essential for progressing in language learning. We also use their notes to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which again is really useful, and a very popular activity with students too. The resource works best when used frequently and regularly - students should store their work carefully in a learning folder or file that they can refer to at any point to support their learning and revision. Students also note down any new, related vocabulary, which builds into a really ***comprehensive high-frequency German verb vocabulary bank*** in a very short space of time. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the additional prep and expense is definitely worth it, as the cards will last in excellent conditional for years. Print & photocopy an appropriate number of quiz card templates and ***Reference, Recall & Write*** books. The books are best copied double-sided, and double-stapled on the left-hand side, rather than a single staple in the top left-hand corner for example. This format is again far more reader and writer-friendly, and can be used more effectively as a learning and reference resource. ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!**
