PLANNING

Example of using the five-stage framework to plan a unit of work:

A possible teaching cycle (pdf)

For a closer look at how the cycle framework might be used to inform development planning, see Workshop 6.

Example of a series of help sheets to practise individual tenses in the context of 'Holidays':

Planning a holiday (future) (pdf)
Sending a postcard (present) (pdf)
Telling about the holiday (past) (pdf)

Example of a task sheet to revise all tenses collaboratively in the context of holidays:

Collaborative revision of tenses (pdf)

Examples of help sheets to practice yes/no questions and information-seeking questions about events in the immediate future, in the context of holidays:

How to ask questions about the immediate future (pdf)

TALKING

Developing the art of conversation (pdf)

Example of a mind map to support a speaking task:

This mind map charts possible ways of developing a talk about oneself. If this is considered to be one 'plane', an equivalent 'map' can be made of questions designed to elicit the same details. And a third 'plane' might provide comments (see previous notes).

Talking about yourself (pdf)

Two examples of semi-scripted conversations:

Chez le médecin (pdf)
Ça ne va pas très bien (pdf)

WRITING

An approach to collaborative writing:

Writing a story together (pdf)

Reading as a stimulus for writing:

Letter from a pen friend about holidays (pdf)

ACTIVE LEARNING

EVENTS

USING CURRENT AFFAIRS TO STIMULATE INTEREST
(example)
 

BBC News on 11th January 2008 carried a story about Alsatian dogs being brought into British police forces from Germany, and the implications of this for using German commands to control the dogs. For the full story see:
