General approach
These video packs are designed to support the generalist class teacher
who has not been trained as a specialist language teacher. Each pack covers
at least a term's work, and centres round a video for class use. The videos
are recorded with native speakers (not actors) in realistic contexts in
the country - giving pupils an authentic model of pronunciation.
The teachers guide
suggests class and group activities which mainly involce talking and listening;
also photocopiable worksheets and flashcards to practice word recognition.
The courses are designed specifically for KS2 and SEN use, and have been
widely tested and used in different LEAs across the UK. Vocabulary and
images are selected for relevance to primary-age children: progression
is in very small steps with constant repetition.
Early Start Spanish
(EU Socrates-funded
project in partnership with the Spanish Embassy)
The Starter Pack, "Tu y Yo" helps young beginners talk about
themselves find out about other people. Each section of the video introduces
a very small number of key words and phrases:
- greetings
- saying goodbye
- asking people
how they are
- introducing yourself
and asking other children's names
- colours
- numbers 1-6,
7-12, and 13-31
- saying how old
you are and asking other children their age
- the months of
the year
- saying when your
birthday is and asking other children when their birthdays are
- days of the week,
saying the date
- talking about
your brothers and sisters
- talking about
your pets
PLUS:
- useful Spanish
words and phrases that teachers and pupils can use in the classroom
when playing games and participating in language learning activities.
- audio CD with
vocabulary and pronunciation guide for teachers, also songs in full
singing and accompaniment-only 'karaoke' versions
