6 Teaching notes Thirty words group drill Give each group of four to five students a set of the cut-up cards from pp.1-2 and ask them to nominate the student with the best Spanish accent in the group to introduce each card. This student should hold up each card in turn for the group to see, say the Spanish and the English and ask the group to repeat it. Alternatively, you could drill the pronunciation from the front, by projecting the words. Encourage them to suggest creative strategies to help them remember each word, such as word association or actions. For example, for ruido : shout it as noisily as you can; dinero : sounds like dinner so associate it with dinner-money / dinero = money. Once they have drilled the whole set of words as a group, they are ready to play the card games. Card game 1 (Spanish to English): minutes Students stay in groups of four or five. The person holding the pack reads out the Spanish word from the top card, paying attention to their pronunciation. The others in the group race to be the first to give the correct English meaning, which the student holding the pack checks. The first student to give the correct meaning wins that card. If no-one can give the meaning, it is read out to the group and the card is put to the back of the pack. The whole pack is then passed clockwise to the next student who repeats the process by reading the next Spanish word. The game continues until all the cards have been won or the time allotted is up. The winner is the one with the most cards at the end. Card game 2 (English to Spanish): minutes Students play again in the same way but this time reading out the English word each time. Players compete to give the correct Spanish translation with a good accent. Plenary Give students the vocabulary list (pp. 3-5) and ask them to write the English for all the words they know. They could start with the thirty words in bold which are the ones they practised in the card games. Students can then complete the rest of the meanings, using a dictionary where needed. This could be done as a group task or at home. As a start to a subsequent lesson, students could fold the sheets to hide the English, test themselves (or a partner) on the words they recognise and give themselves a score Page 6 of 6
