Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

  3. Pattern-finding Link-making Pronunciation Memorising Autonomy Communicating (meaning making) Creativity Performing Collaborating Listening (audience skills) What skills and attributes? How do we embed these skills in our teaching? Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

  4. Pronunciation 1 repeat correctly what you hear Pronunciation 3 pronounce accurately from text 2 retain pronunciation over time Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

  5. good accent better comprehension – both reading and listening more autonomous more confident with unfamiliar language more motivated because this is a recognisable skill and progression is tangible develop higher order thinking skills – analysis, link-making, pattern-finding What are the outcomes?

A few ideas • Starter ‘pair pronunciation/reading out loud’ activities • Reading comprehension tasks to build reading strategies, one of which is to read out loud • Prediction activities with new vocabulary introduced orally • Pronunciation of new language introduced alongside written version • Putting rhyming poems back together • Writing raps, songs and poems Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor

  10. Examine own SOW – identify where skills are being taught/could be taught more explicitly Be clear about essential structures you want students to master, to use autonomously and creatively and ‘major’ in these Possibly cut down on vocabulary that you want them to learn off by heart – they can engage with some language through reference materials Offer choice in vocabulary learning – e.g. 10 most important foods to them For additional sources of inspiration/ideas – look at Thinking Skills material from KS3 strategy Next steps Rachel Hawkes, Regional Subject Advisor
