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.

(0)
This is a foundation resource to teach GCSE Spanish Viva textbook, Module 8, Unit 4, (M8U4) Solutions to Global Problems. 3 lessons, using a sentence builder, following the Conti method. The first lesson allows students to get to grips with the new language, to describe the biggest global issues, practising the superlative, and key language about global issues and environmenytal issues.

The three one hour lesson sequence aims to take students from receptive to active language processing. Hope this is useful to fellow Spanish teachers out there. X

¿Dónde vas en tu tiempo libre? (Where do you go in your free time?) KS3 Spanish 5 Lessons

(0)
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: where do you go in your free time? It was particularly effective with Year 8. The sequence uses the Conti method, and the activities have been designed following a training day run by Mr Conti himself. Activities include Faulty Echo, Delayed Dictation, Vocabulary Builders and more. This sequence of lessons finishes with an independent quiz testing all of the vocabulary covered in the sentence builder. 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.

This is a detailed text about the Hindu God, Vishnu, with comprehension questions to test understanding, finishing with a summary task. It worked well with able students in Year 8, but due to its detail it could be used with Year 9 or even 10.
