KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH GCSE FRENCH RE VERBS 3 TENSES & WORKBOOKS @ £1.20 EACH IN THE BUNDLE PRESENT, PERFECT, IMPERFECT TENSES FOCUSING ON 25 HIGH-FREQUENCY FRENCH RE VERBS All files are non-editable files in a zipped format. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use. There are 150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges with a full answer key in each set, 450 conjugations in total. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning. With the imperfect tense in French for example, students whose first language is English often use***j’étais faire*** instead of je faisais as a translation of I was doing. There are specific differences in usage between English and French with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with le passé composé and l’imparfait, because students are better able to understand correct usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example I have worked, I worked, I was working, I used to work. I refer frequently the difference in usage between English and French, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the imperfect tense in French. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and do not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognize and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. The tenses are: present tense (le présent) perfect tense (le passé composé) imperfect tense (l’imparfait) Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It’s a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others’ - work. Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles and lots of freebies - I’ve included a couple here for you to try.

GCSE GERMAN KS3 GERMAN KS4 GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 3 workbooks @ £1.20 each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency reflexive German verbs in the present, perfect and imperfect tenses, including some not essentially reflexive, such as sich kaufen, for practicing the use of the dative reflexive, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists ideal for advanced KS3 German and KS4 German students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in German. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. The tenses are: present tense (Präsens) perfect tense (Perfekt) imperfect tense (Präteritum) The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with the German imperfect tense, I frequently see attempts such as ich war mich erinnern for I was remembering or similarly ich machte / tat mich erinnern for I did remember. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of used to…, before they understand that the notion is implicit in the tense itself. I often refer to the difference in usage between English and German, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the present perfect, simple past and the continuous / progressive simple past tense. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognize and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written German is accurate, and that their understanding of German across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I also tend to introduce the perfect tense and imperfect tense fairly closely together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with English for example, particularly in spoken German, and we can compare and contrast examples of usage, which is really helpful for language learners. I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their German conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct German, in both oral and written form. There are certain complexities with German reflexive verbs, as learners whose first language does not have equivalent reflexive verbs can find identifying the correct reflexive pronoun, and particularly dative reflexive pronouns, and positioning them correctly in a particular tense, quite challenging. I’ve used these ‘quick conjugations’ for many years with my German classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in German. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how German conjugation ‘works’. Each set has the following structure: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: German-English and English-German. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank. We also use this to guide our whole-group discussions about conjugation and German grammar, and learning and progress in general - this is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: there are 6 pages in the answer key book - for me, answer keys are an essential and integral part of learning with these kinds of workbooks - they give my students an additional opportunity to engage with language, they certainly help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy ‘correcting’ their own, and especially each other’s work. Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses: present tense (Präsens) perfect tense (Perfekt) imperfect tense (Präteritum) future tense (Futur I) conditional tense (Konjuktiv II, Futur I) pluperfect tense (Plusquamperfekt) future perfect tense (Konjuktiv I, Futur II) conditional perfect tense (Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt) Have a browse in my store for more German grammar activities, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning resources, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I’ve included a couple here for you to have a look at.

GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #4

ALEVEL GERMAN ADVANCED GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 3 workbooks & tenses @ £1.20 each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency German reflexive verbs in the pluperfect, future perfect & conditional perfect tenses, including a selection not essentially reflexive, such as sich kaufen to practise the dative reflexive pronoun, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists ideal for advanced German students who have a sound understanding of conjugation and tense in German, are working regularly with the notion of a range of tenses and mood in German, have a solid grasp of verbs that are conjugated with either haben or sein in the relevant tenses, and are comfortable with complex texts, including authentic resources. Grammar books are not consistent with grammatical terminology, so in this context, the conditional perfect is I would have done for example. I’ve used hätte & past participle as ich würde gemacht haben is no longer commonly used in the way that ich hätte gemacht is for example. The conjugation is structured in the same way as the Konjunktiv II Plusquamperfekt, which is often called the pluperfect subjunctive in English grammatical terminology, though of course, the usage is different. It’s actually really useful to introduce the conditional perfect tense in German along with the future perfect tense, as the patterns are identical, other than the auxiliary tense, and it allows students to compare and contrast the tenses using a range of texts including authentic resources, and to practice both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they’re learning and using them together. In general, I move forward quite rapidly with conjugation, as this also gives us the opportunity to work with a wide range of authentic texts in our learning programme, and students’ ability to create and use new language isn’t restricted by not having an understanding and knowledge of the required tense. The tenses are: pluperfect tense (Plusquamperfekt) future perfect tense (Konjuktiv I, Futur II) conditional perfect tense (Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt) The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their German conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct German, in both oral and written form. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language with the patterns and rules of the language they are learning. For example, with the German conditional perfect tense, students need to have a firm grasp of haben in the subjunctive mood (Konjuktiv II, ich hätte, du hättest etc, a direct translation of I would have, you would have….) and sein in the subjunctive (ich wäre, du wärest etc, which is not adirect translation for English-speaking German learners, and can take a little extra practice), and of how to form and position past participles accurately. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs with ‘quick conjugations’, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written German is accurate, and that their understanding of German across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust.

PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 SPANISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES BINGO GAMES 200 DIFFERENTIATED BINGO GRIDS AND 80 CALLING CARDS TWO SETS OF BINGO GAMES @ £1.80 EACH IN THE BUNDLE Bingo games are perfect for language learning, and they’re really easy to differentiate. All my students, regardless of age, find playing the games a great way of consolidating their Spanish vocabulary, and developing their Spanish language skills in general - bingo is absolutely perfect for speaking, listening, reading, writing and spelling. This bundle comprises two sets of 100 differentiated bingo grids and 40 calling cards Spanish and English so 200 bingo grids and 80 calling cards in total. I always play with English calling cards too, as I’ve found it’s a really great way of further consolidating vocabulary - students have to focus carefully on the language ‘switch’, and translate what they hear really quickly. It’s definitely useful to have calling cards, so that you can keep track of what you’re calling out, and it also lets students be the bingo caller too, meaning they can play entirely independently of the teacher. There are twelve Spanish fruits in masculine, feminine, singular & plural: the green apple the lemon the oranges the peach the raspberries the pineapple the kiwi the pear the bananas the green grapes the strawberry the watermelon and twelve Spanish vegetables in masculine, feminine, singular & plural: the mushrooms the cauliflower thee carrots the lettuce the cucumber the tomato the cabbage the potatoes the garlic the broccoli the peas the onions I differentiate my bingo games by using picture-only cards, which are great for general vocabulary consolidation and recall, and listening skills. There are 80 9-square grids in total, and there’s a set of color (which I sometimes laminate so that I can just get them out whenever I need to - make sure students have wipe-clean pens on their tables!). I’ve also included the same grids in black and white - simply print these out. I sometimes give out pages with four grids on, and let students choose which order they play the grids in - they have multiple pages - or sometimes, I get the students to cut out the grids, place them in a small bowl or similar on tables and they then randomly choose grids - depending on the size of your class, you will definitely have several winners per game. The grids are designed for all the squares to be crossed off in order to win the game. I also use word-only grids to help students focus more on their reading skills, so I’ve included 80 Spanish word-only 9-square grids, 4 per page (10 pages). There are 40 mixed word and picture grids are ideal for additional challenge and differentiation.

The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, and I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the formal Lei form being identical to the conjugation of singular pronouns. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation.

SPANISH ER VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE @ £1.20 EACH IN THE BUNDLE 3 workbooks & tenses, 25 high-frequency Spanish ER verbs, 150 conjugation questions across 3 differentiated challenges, answer keys & verb lists, 450 conjugations in total, ideal for advanced level Spanish A Level students who are working with more complex language and texts featuring a range of tenses, including authentic resources, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation, tense and mood in Spanish. Grammar books are not necessarily particularly consistent with grammatical terminology, for example the conditional perfect (condicional perfecto) is also called the conditional past in English. The English equivalent is I would have eaten for example. When students are confident with the pluperfect tense in Spanish, it’s actually really useful to introduce the future perfect tense fairly closely with the conditional perfect tense, as the patterns are identical, other than the auxiliary tense, and it allows students to compare and contrast the tenses across a broad range of texts and authentic resources, and to practise them fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they’re learning and using them together, particularly at this stage of their Spanish learning. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. The workbooks are really versatile, and I use them in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons. I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. I introduce a range of tenses quite quickly in my language learning programs, so that students have the opportunity to work with a broad range of texts, including authentic resources, enabling them to apply language practically and creatively, which is essential for progressing in language learning. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, but it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners to often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are learning, and with students with English as a first language learning the pluperfect tense for example, I frequently see students using tener instead of haber as the auxiliary, though they have generally embedded the use of haber when they learnt how to conjugate the perfect tense. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns and specific rules for usage that students can learn, recognize and apply, and begin to be able to predict accurately, which in turn ensures that their spoken and written Spanish is accurate, and that their understanding of Spanish across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. The tenses are: pluperfect (pretérito pluscuamperfecto) future perfect (futuro perfecto) conditional perfect (condicional perfecto) Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: Spanish-English and English-Spanish, useful for longer-term reference too Three differentiated conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in Spanish across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in Spanish, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Spanish. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding Spanish verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from a Spanish prompt. Notes and Next Steps template to encourage my students to reflect on their progress, and think about what they can reasonably and realistically do to meet learning targets and move on - we revisit the conjugations, and the Notes and Next Steps, regularly - sometimes students haven’t quite embedded learning before it’s time to move on, so revisiting for 10-minute ‘chunks’ is really popular with them. Students not any new verbs they learn, which in time builds into a really comprehensive verb vocabulary bank. We also use the Notes and Next Steps to inform, guide and focus whole-group discussion on learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity. answer key six pages in book format. Answer keys are essential for this kind of learning activity, as they do provide a really essential additional opportunity for students to engage with language, and my students prefer to work and learn independently, assessing their own progress, either individually, in pairs or in small groups. They’re a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing! Currently in my store I have Spanish conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses: present (presente) perfect (perfecto compuesto) preterite (pretérito) imperfect (pretérito imperfecto) future (futuro) conditional (condicional) pluperfect (pretérito pluscuamperfecto) future perfect (futuro perfecto) conditional perfect (condicional perfecto) Have a browse in my store for more Spanish grammar activities, and a wide range of Spanish language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I’ve included a selection here.

I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for sub lessons - they’re really versatile, ideal for advanced intermediate into advanced French students who are developing their understanding of tense and mood in French, and working with more complex language and texts, including a broad range of authentic resources. Grammar books are not particularly consistent with grammatical terminology, so in this context,the conditional perfect tense is I would have done or I would have been for example, and we often see this tense called the conditional past.

It’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. For example, with the conditional perfect tense in French, language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning. Students whose first language is English often use avoir instead of être as the auxiliary. Students do need to to have a good grasp of which verbs require which auxiliary, and of course, how to conjugate the***auxiliary verbs être and avoir in the conditional tense***, as well as the patterns for forming the relevant past participles, in order to ensure that they can form the conditional perfect tense accurately. In terms of the past participle, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and do not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognize and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully.

It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. There are 150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges with a full answer key in each set, so 450 conjugations in total. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they’re really versatile, ideal for advanced intermediate into advanced French students who are developing their understanding of tense and mood in French, and working with more complex language and texts, including a broad range of authentic resources. Grammar books are not particularly consistent with grammatical terminology, so in this context,the conditional perfect tense is I would have done or I would have been for example, and we often see this tense called the conditional past. The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage, and I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. It’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning, and with the conditional perfect tense in French for example, students whose first language is English often use avoir instead of être as the auxiliary. Students do need to to have a good grasp of which verbs require which auxiliary, and of course, how to conjugate the***auxiliary verbs être and avoir in the conditional tense***, as well as the patterns for forming the relevant past participles, in order to ensure that they can form the conditional perfect tense accurately. In terms of the past participle, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and do not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognize and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. The tenses are: pluperfect tense (plus-que-parfait) future perfect tense (futur antérieur) conditional perfect tense (conditionnel passé) Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It’s a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view.

There are specific differences in usage between English and French with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with le passé composé and l’imparfait, because students are better able to understand correct usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example I have run, I ran, I was running, I used to run.

KS3 GERMAN KS4 GERMAN GCSE GERMAN CONJUGATION PRACTICE 3 workbooks @ £1.20 each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency irregular German verbs in the present, perfect and imperfect tenses, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total, answer keys and verb lists ideal for advanced KS3 German students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and KS4 German students who are working with more complex language and texts, including a range of tenses. The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with the German present tense, I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the singular pronouns, including the pronoun man form being identical, pointing out also that man is commonly used in German, often also meaning we, unlike the pronoun one in English. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation, and with those whose first language is English, I frequently see attempts such as ich bin singen for I am singing or similarly ich mache singen for I do sing. I refer frequently the difference in usage between English and German, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the simple present and the continuous / progressive present tense. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their spoken and written German is accurate, and that their understanding of German across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I’ve used these ‘quick conjugations’ for many years with my German classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in German. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how German conjugation ‘works’. Each set has the following structure: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: German-English and English-German. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank. We also use this to guide our whole-group discussions about conjugation and German grammar, and learning and progress in general - this is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: there are 6 pages in the answer key book - for me, answer keys are an essential and integral part of learning with these kinds of workbooks - they give my students an additional opportunity to engage with language, they certainly help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy ‘correcting’ their own, and especially each other’s work. Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses: present tense (Präsens) perfect tense (Perfekt) imperfect tense (Präteritum) future tense (Futur I) conditional tense (Konjuktiv II, Futur I) pluperfect tense (Plusquamperfekt) future perfect tense (Konjuktiv I, Futur II) conditional perfect tense (Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt) Have a browse in my store for more German conjugation and grammar activities, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning resources, with special offer bunles and lots of freebies too - I’ve included a couple here for you to try.

Grammar books are not necessarily particularly consistent with grammatical terminology, for example the conditional perfect (condicional perfecto) is also called the conditional past in English. The English equivalent is I would have helped for example. When students are confident with the pluperfect tense in Spanish, it’s actually really useful to introduce the future perfect tense fairly closely with the conditional perfect tense, as the patterns are identical, other than the auxiliary tense, and it allows students to compare and contrast the tenses across a broad range of texts and authentic resources, and to practise them fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they’re learning and using them together, particularly at this stage of their Spanish learning. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. The workbooks are really versatile, and I use them in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons.

I introduce a range of tenses quite quickly in my language learning programs, so that students have the opportunity to work with a broad range of texts, including authentic resources, enabling them to apply language practically and creatively, which is essential for progressing in language learning.

Language learners to often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are learning, and with students with English as a first language learning the pluperfect tense for example, I frequently see students using tener instead of haber as the auxiliary, though they have generally embedded the use of haber when they learnt how to conjugate the perfect tense. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns and specific rules for usage that students can learn, recognize and apply, and begin to be able to predict accurately, which in turn ensures that their spoken and written Spanish is accurate, and that their understanding of Spanish across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust.

For example, students with English as a first language frequently confuse the imperfect tense with the preterite tense when they are conjugating them, as well as when and how to use either tense. There are specific differences in usage between the tenses, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks. Generally, I introduce the imperfect and preterite tenses fairly closely together, with lots of practice for both correct conjugation and usage, as I’ve found that comparing and contrasting tenses helps students really grasp the nuances of the tenses, the differences in endings, and when exactly to use them. There are conjugation patterns and specific rules for usage that students can learn, recognize and apply, and begin to be able to predict accurately, which in turn ensures that their spoken and written Spanish is accurate, and that their understanding of Spanish across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust.

My German students really enjoy word searches, as they tend like to learn independently and work their way through the increasing challenges. These German Christmas word searches are a real winner - the Christmas-theme is always a great motivator. There are 33 German Christmas words, including a selection of more generic Christmas words, and also some which are very German-specific, such as Sankt Nikolaus and Knecht Ruprecht. Students shouldn’t attempt to learn all the vocabulary at once, as the objective of the word searches is to engage with German Christmas vocabulary, to really focus on the individual words, genders and articles, and to have lots of practice at general recall, writing and spelling. The German Christmas vocabulary list is ideal as a long-term reference resource, and really useful for students when they are working more creatively and independently, for example***German Christmas reading comprehension, German Christmas writing activities*** and so on. There is an increasing challenge through the grids, and the differentiation does ensure that all students are challenged. There are 5 German to German grids, with a vocabulary list to complete for additional consolidation. There are also 5 English to German grids, also with a vocabulary list to complete, which is a great way to really work on students’ recall and spelling. Students can identify the level of challenge by the increasing size of the grid, number of words to search for, and the direction the words appear in, which they can see by the direction of the arrows at the top of the grids. I’ve put a couple of extra challenges in too, to encourage students to look really carefully at the words - for example, they may have to find candles and work out what that is in German - only the prompt die Adventskerze appears in the reference list. Answer keys are essential in my view, and I always give them to students. Not only are they a great teacher-time saver, they give students an additional opportunity to engage with language, and help them develop more independence in their learning. If you can, laminate the answer keys, and distribute amongst small groups of students during classtime - they will definitely last for years.

I use word searches a lot in my languages classroom - they're ideal for encouraging students to engage with the written word in French, and for building vocabulary. The grids are differentiated to ensure increasing challenge. The word searches are really useful when introducing the concept of verb conjugation in French - we do lots of comparison with English, and discuss both similarities and differences - this helps students think about patterns and how languages work in general. There are 5 French-French grids, and 5 English-French grids - this gets students applying French a little differently. There's additional consolidation too, as I've put a verb list in each grid that students have to complete. I always give answer keys - for me, that's an essential part of the learning - they give students an extra opportunity to engage with language, and they really enjoy checking their own and each others' work.

Iideal multi-skill language learning activity for developing listening, speaking, reading, writing and spelling skills for German language learners of all ages - in my experience, adult learners really enjoy a few competitive games of bingo too! I’ve described the games as not grade-specific, as the general goal for me is not to learn a lot of German Christmas vocabulary as such, but to work quite specifically on German language skills development. There are 100 grids in total, in both colour & BW. The color grids definitely look really good, but can prove expensive to prep - I have sets that I’ve laminated, and students use wipe-free pens, so that the grids can be used many times. Younger learners do tend to prefer the BW grids, taking some additional time to colour them in themselves. I often combine that activity with revision of colours, which can work really well too. The games are designed for players to cross off all the words or pictures on their grids in order to win the game. This set comprises the following: 40 picture-only bingo 12-square grids, 4 per page (10 pages) You can give students a random selection of pages, with students selecting the order of grids they play from. You can also cut out the grids, and place them in a small bowl or similar object on tables. Students then select grids randomly from the bowl. For additional challenge, students can play all four grids in a single game. Colour and BW 40 words & pictures bingo 12-square grids, 4 per page (10 pages) Colour & BW 10 picture-only 30-square grids (A4 portrait format) Distribute the grids among students, several grids per student, which they choose randomly for every game. There should be several winners per game, depending on the size of the group. Colour & B&W 10 words & pictures 30-square grids (A4 portrait format) Colour & B&W Calling card, featuring 32 German Christmas words. Print or photocopy double-sided to minimise prep. There are 8 check columns per page, so that you can really get the most from each card - call the words randomly, ticking them off as you go, so that you can check the winning grids. You can vary the use of the definite and indefinite article, singular or plural. Students should also be the bingo caller, rather than always the teacher. Calling card, featuring the English translation of the German Christmas words. This is great for additional challenge - students hear the English word, and translate it quickly, looking for it in writing in German in the grid FROHE WEIHNACHTEN UND EINEN GUTEN RUTSCH INS NEUE JAHR!
