  1. Use of authentic ‘literary’ materials in vocabulary and grammar teaching Objetivo: Present 3 readily usable ideas across key-stages for using authentic materials in Spanish teaching

  2. It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. (‘Purpose of Study’, DfE, 2013: 75)

  3. understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources • discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied. (‘Aims’, DfE, 2013: 75)

  4. read and show comprehension of original and adapted materials from a range of different sources, understanding the purpose, important ideas and details, and provide an accurate English translation of short, suitable material • read literary texts in the language [such as stories, songs, poems and letters], to stimulate ideas, develop creative expression and expand understanding of the language and culture • write prose using an increasingly wide range of grammar and vocabulary, write creatively to express their own ideas and opinions, and translate short written text accurately into the foreign language. (‘Linguistic Competence’, DfE, 2013: 76-77)

  5. Some texts are interesting and valuable to use even if they are not 'great literature' • To be successful in class, any text has to be age-appropriate either in terms of its content or in terms of the activity you do with it • A literary text is a great stimulus for creative writing, and/or for performance. (ALLnet email, 12/06/2014)

  6. IDEA 1: Poetry to consolidate/reinforce a tense • “Instantes” Jorge Luis Borges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeDGMllnGYE lower ability y9: conditional top set y11: ‘si’ clause imperfect subjunctive Activity = Predict the verb form you will hear in a gap-fill and listen to check (or listening can be a bit traumatic and we want them to enjoy too)

  7. Si pudiera vivir nuevamente mi vida, en la próxima trataría de cometer más errores. No intentaría ser tan perfecto, me relajaría más. Sería más tonto de lo que he sido, de hecho tomaría muy pocas cosas con seriedad. Sería menos higiénico. Correría más riesgos, haría más viajes, contemplaría más atardeceres, subiría más montañas, nadaría más ríos. Iría a más lugares adonde nunca he ido, comería más helados y menos habas, tendría más problemas reales y menos imaginarios. Yo fui una de esas personas que vivió sensata y prolíficamente cada minuto de su vida; claro que tuve momentos de alegría. Pero si pudiera volver atrás trataría de tener solamente buenos momentos.  Por si no lo saben, de eso está hecha la vida, sólo de momentos; no te pierdas el ahora. Yo era uno de esos que nunca iban a ninguna parte sin un termómetro, una bolsa de agua caliente, un paraguas y un paracaídas; si pudiera volver a vivir, viajaría más liviano. Si pudiera volver a vivir comenzaría a andar descalzo a principios de la primavera y seguiría descalzo hasta concluir el otoño. Daría más vueltas en calesita, contemplaría más amaneceres, y jugaría con más niños, si tuviera otra vez vida por delante. Pero ya ven, tengo 85 años... y sé que me estoy muriendo.Lee todo en: Instantes - Poemas de Jorge Luis Borgeshttp://www.poemas-del-alma.com/instantes.htm#ixzz34Xx9sCd2

  8. IDEA 2: Poetry Reading Competition (All KS) • “Maripose del aire” Lorca Emphasises rhythm of Spanish pronunciation very well Also good for adjective variety

  9. Mariposa del aire¡que hermosa eres!Mariposa del airedorada y verde.Luz de candil…Mariposa del aire,quédate ahí, ahí, ahí.No te quieres parar,pararte no quieres…Mariposa del aire,dorada y verde.Luz de candil…Mariposa del aire,quédate ahí, ahí, ahí.quédate ahí.Mariposa ¿estás ahí?

  10. IDEA 3: Songs for tenses • “La historia de Juan” Juanes Top Set Y9 – Preterite (but = fast)
