Hörförståelse med strategier som hjälp
Vi arbetar med hörförsteålse i min språkvalsgrupp, de elever som inte läser något språk, och programmet vi utgår från är News Reel Easy från UR. Programmet är ett par minuter långt och finns också i en svårare variant här. Eftersom jag har elever som inte når målen i engelska och många främst behöver träna på att lyssna så arbetar jag med strategier för att ge dem verktyg för att lyssna aktivt. Vi gör så här: Förutspå: 1. 2. Reda ut oklarheter 3. 4. Ställer frågor och sammanfatta: 5. 6. 7.

Listening strategies | Welcome to English, step 3-4 (Spring 2015)
Listening Listening is considered to be the most difficult skill by language learners because we not only have to understand the grammar of the language, but also the speed, pronunciation, intonation and choice of words that the speaker uses. All these factors combined make listening very hard. Luckily, there are some tips and help for you and here I will talk about some strategies to help you become a better listener. Strategies Pre-listening Pre-listening activities are an important part of becoming a better listener. – Think about what you already know before you listen: the topicgenre (news, interview, speech..)the situationthe country in which the language is spoken – Signals such as: “I´m afraid that..” -Connectors such as: although..On the one hand…on the other hand (signals two contrasting ideas) – Sequencers such as: firstly, secondly, next, finally…. , cheese and tomatoes – Pictures and title: can give you clues about the topic etc for the main idea? First, listen for the main idea.

Picture dictation
Submitted 16 years 6 months ago by admin. This is a low preparation fun activity that works well with large classes, especially with young learners and teens. All your students need is a blank piece of paper and all the teacher needs is a little bit of imagination. Procedure First of all explain to the students that they are going to do a picture dictation, that you are going to describe a picture to them and that all they have to do is simply listen and draw what they hear you describe.You then describe a simple and easy-to-draw picture to them and they draw it. Tips for making the activity work well Variations
Teaching Tier 2 Vocabulary
The 15 Minute Forum tonight was led by Emma Bilbrough and Danielle Walters (MFL teachers). During the last academic year, Danielle and Emma had conducted an Action Research project, with Brian Marsh (University of Brighton), investigating how MFL could promote the use of Tier 2 Language across the school. What is Tier 2 Vocabulary? Beck and McKeown (1985) created a three-tiered system of vocabulary based upon target words. Why does vocabulary matter? Literacy is a current whole-school priority, in terms of developing our students’ vocabulary and use of language. He described those students who are ‘word-rich’ as possessing knowledge of 7,100 words, whilst those students who are deemed to be ‘word-poor’ will have knowledge of less than 3,000 words. Danielle and Emma wanted to investigate how MFL could be used to enhance the understanding of Tier 2 language of our students. The control group were exposed to English Tier 2 vocabulary.
