El voseo de Argentina y Uruguay

A lesson of integrated learning (language, culture and exam technique) built around an authentic article on the use of the pronoun vos in parts of Latin America. Including class discussion, this could take up a lesson and a homework slot

Activity 0: read aloud to develop fluency and to fine-tune pronunciation.
Activity 1: match up some idiomatic expressions from the text to their English translation
Activity 2: reading comprehension (mainly questions type 2 and type 3 to drive up outcomes)
Activity 3: read an extract from the book “En el sur”
Activity 4: language/grammar awareness. Identify the traits of Argentinian Spanish in the text (pronouns and verb endings) and rephrase them into Spanish from Spain.
Activity 5: reading comprehension on the extract (mainly questions type 2 and type 3 to drive up outcomes)
Activity 6: translation into Spanish of an adapted text on the topic.

Mark schemes, including for the translation are available on the “versión del profesor” document.
