Next steps • Keep sharing ideas • Actively look for links with other subject areas • Begin to consider evaluation “How will we know it is working?” • Look back at what we want learners to look like • Measure by student voice, self-report, compare with year 8 • Volume, amount of student TL talk, vocabulary tests, written work, speaking levels, interest & enthusiasm, number of questions asked Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

  16. How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I taught myself then I taught my dad which taught me as well.

  17. How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I made a song out of the words in Spanish. I also had my brother help so when he gets to this school it will help him.

  18. How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I learnt them all on one day then on the day before the test my mum tested me on the words/corrected me. Next she said sentences e.g. I get up and have a shower then I had to say them in Spanish and vice versa.

  19. How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I remembered these words by taking 3-4 words at a time and memorised them through repetition and gestures. After learning the 3-4 words, I asked my mum to test me on those in any order. After repeating this process I was able to recite these words from memory.

  20. How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I got my sister to read out the English then I say the Spanish. I did this after reading the meanings then covering them up and saying them again and again. My sister gave me a test on them every night since we got the homework. She pointed out the ones I needed to work on. I needed to have a test every night because I remember things best when I repeat things.

  21. How did you learn your 14 Spanish words? I memorised the words by learning them by cutting them into groups e.g. 1-5, 6-10, 11-14 etc..
