Studying a language opens windows into other cultures and different ways of viewing the world. It also enhances intercultural understanding. Through many years of teaching MFL (French and Spanish), I have carefully designed and structured each sequence of lessons, to have maximum impact on our students in the classroom. Each lesson builds on the last, moving from receptive to productive language. All resources are complete lessons, fully animated, with answers.

Quieres ir al... Invitations and Excuses KS3 Spanish 5 Lessons with Sentence Builder

(0)
Quieres ir al… Invitations and Excuses KS3 Spanish 5 Lessons with Sentence Builder. This is a sequence of five (approx 1 hour) lessons using one sentence builder pitched at KS3 Spanish students. The sentence builder teaches students to answer the question: Quieres ir al… + place in town? And to answer with an excuse e.g. ¡Ni hablar! , ¡Ni en sueños! etc. It was particularly effective with Year 8. This resource consists of five complete lessons, fully animated, with answers. The content is designed to flood students with new language from the sentence builder (included with this pack), starting with receptive exposure to the phrases, and finishing with productive writing and speaking skills. Finally, there is an independent quiz, which can be peer marked, so that teachers can collect data on how successful the sequence has been. All of the tasks have been tried and tested over the last few years following the Conti method - a communicative language teaching approach developed by Gianfranco Conti: ‘extensive processing instruction’ (EPI) is based on the idea that language teachers should ‘teach less, not more’ by providing their students with a set of language ‘chunks’, drilling these, and finally pushing students to reproduce them. Given its emphasis on reducing cognitive overload, this method is likely to succeed in allowing students to feel like competent learners. I have spent the last two years adapting and tweaking my use of sentence builders so they are so they work best for our students.
