Embedding the language All this language is designed to be used as part of everyday classroom practice. You could do the register with Si and No on some days (hacemos la lista for the register is in the Greetings PPT). For this topic, embedding the language would be the focus as opposed to the language being taught as such. There are example activities however to help teachers reinforce the language being used. I take an active part in daily routines, responding to instructions which are accompanied by gesture and expression. MLAN 2-01b

Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom. This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.

¿Qué significa? Pupils read the word in Spanish and choose from multiple choice options what it means in English. Pupils could write the answer on a whiteboard. The answer is then revealed with image to support understanding. I can read and demonstrate understanding of words, signs, phrases and simple texts containing mainly familiar language.

Class signs Pupils use the voacb learned to create a set of class signs for the classroom. Pupils can design an image to go on the signs and they can be laminated to be displayed throughout the year. As pupils develop their knowledge of classroom vocab these signs can be developed further. Writing activity I can ask for help confidently using learned phrases and familiar language. MLAN 2-04a

Jacobo dice… is Spanish for Simon Says It works exactly the same way whereby if you say Jacobo dice (Jack said) at the start of a command then everyone has to do it. If you just say the command then pupils should stand still. If they do the action, they then sit down. Sample commands are below: ¡Jacobo dice escucha/escuchad! (pupils can cup hand to ear) ¡Jacobo dice mira/mirad! (mime searching) ¡Jacobo dice haz /haced la fila! (pupils get into a line) ¡Escucha/escuchad! ¡Mira/mirad! ¡Haz/haced la fila! Sentaos/ Levantaos MLAN 2-01bI can listen to and show understanding of familiar instructions and language from familiar voices and sources. MLAN 2-01c I take an active part in daily routines, responding to instructions which are accompanied by gesture and expression. Listening activity

Dictionary race Teacher says an instruction and pupils race to find that word in the dictionary. This will teach pupils about searching for the infinitive of a word. They read the definition aloud to the class. I can understand how a bilingual dictionary works and use it with support. MLAN 2-11a Dictionary Skills!

Songs and videos! You will find a bank of sample songs and videos which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom. This is not a prescriptive list of songs and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class. I explore the patterns and sounds of language through songs and rhymes and show understanding and enjoyment by listening, joining in and responding. MLAN 2-01a
