GCSE GERMAN KS4 GERMAN KS3 GERMAN IDIOMS German Speaking Practice Encouraging students to speak can be quite challenging in the languages classroom, and I’ve found that even my more advanced learners can be quite reluctant, especially if the group is fairly large. I use a range of strategies to promote speaking, and idioms, proverbs and fun expressions which sound quite strange when translated literally are really popular - for example, we have regular competitions to see who can get the most idioms or expressions into dialogues and conversations. This works really well for students of all stages and ages. The posters show the literal translation, which generally sounds very odd, such as this particular idiom Das ist nicht mein Bier - That is not my beer! and the correct corresponding translation. We also discuss other possible translations into English, which helps them understand the concept of translation, and that there are potentially many correct ways of expressing meaning accurately. The posters also lend the learning environment a real German ambiance, promoting the everyday use of German.

There are two backgrounds - the German flag looks great, but definitely uses a lot of ink, so you may prefer the poster without a background - this looks just as good! Keep checking back for more posters if you like them, as I have a huge collection!

GERMAN VOCABULARY CARDS & WORKBOOKS BUNDLE #3

**GERMAN VOCABULARY FOR CHILDREN PRIMARY GERMAN VOCABULARY CARDS KS2 GERMAN VOCABULARY KS3 GERMAN VOCABULARY CARDS AND WORKBOOKS 4 SETS OF 198 VOCABULARY CARDS WITH WORKBOOK @ £3.25 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. School licenses are available. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***396 beginner German words & phrases*** with matching ***English vocabulary cards*** really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for ***advanced beginner German*** learners. There are four sets of ***99 beginner German words and phrases***, with ***matching English cards***, 198 cards in each set, 792 cards in total. There is an accompanying 18-page ***Reference, Recall & Write workbook*** with an ***alphabetical German-English vocabulary list***. Students use their recall workbooks quite a few times, simply covering previous answers. This means that prep and paper are kept to a minimum. ***The vocabulary groups across the four sets are as follows:*** Begrüßungen : Zahlen 0-80 : Tage der Woche : Monate des Jahres : Jahreszeiten : Wetter : Körper / Körperteile : Farben : meine Familie : Tiere : Obst und Gemüse : Schulfächer : Länder : Alltagswörter : Uhrzeit : Verbindungswörter : Adjektive : Deutsch im Klassenzimmer : Fragen und Antworten The ***Reference, Recall & Write*** books each have 18 pages. They include an alphabetical ***German-English*** reference list of all 99 words & phrases. The ***Recall and Write challenges*** help students familiarise themselves with, and really embed, the range of vocabulary in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in***German***. ***There are three written recall challenges:*** = Written Recall Challenge One: students write the English word or phrase from a German prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category = Written Recall Challenge Two: with this challenge, students write the words or phrases in German from an English prompt, and again, they're all group together in the same category = Written Recall Challenge Three: the final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from German to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category. This challenges the memory more than when the vocabulary is in the order learners first learn it in, with the additional challenge of moving between the two languages - I've found that this really does encourage my students to think hard about their German vocabulary. There is definitely prep involved - printing and cutting out the cards, and printing / photocopying the workbooks. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the cards will remain in excellent conditional for years. ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IM DEUTSCHUNTERRICHT!**
