Memory triggers help form connections for students between the foreign words and their own retention of the words, helping to lead to autonomacy when recognising, recalling and producing the vocab in exam situations. Particularly helpful with lower ability students when trying to hammer vocabulary in the run up to the exams.
However, all ages and abilities can access memory trigger lessons, and it’s never too early to learn key vocabulary! Would work as a stand alone lesson.
Foundation and Higher booklets provided to accompany the PowerPoint. These booklets include level-specific extra work, meaning that if some students pick up the vocabulary faster than others then they have other exam questions to be working on (Higher: gap-fill/questionnaire/writing; Foundation: Sentence level translation into Spanish using the 30 key vocab / Translation into English using the 30 key vocab).
Pick up and teach - great for vocabulary blasts or holiday booster sessions!
