BILINGUAL PUPIL


"Bilingual pupils have access to two or more
languages at home and at school. They may
operate at different language levels in a variety of
circumstances. Being bilingual does not mean that
they are fluent or literate in both languages. For
example, some pupils may be fluent in one of their
spoken home languages, which is used with family
and friends, but they may only be literate in
English or another community language."

DESCRIBE LAST WEEKEND


Teaching simple structures enable the learners to build up useful sentences.

Aim: Learning how to describe the weekend using adjectives.

Activity: Use the words from the board to describe the weather, the restaurant and the people in a situation in the past.


SMALL WET CROWED EXPENSIVE UNCOMFORTABLE


CLOUDY INTERESTING CHARMING COLD TALKATIVE


WINDY INTELLIGENT



Prepare a picture for each situation:

YOU WENT FOR A WALK IN THE COUNTRY.

WHAT WAS THE WEATHER LIKE?

IT WAS COLD.

1- It was wet.
2-It was windy.
3-It was cloudy.

YOU WENT TO A RESTAURANT FOR DINNER.

WHAT WAS THE RESTAURANT LIKE?

1-It was crowded.
2-It was uncomfortable.
3-It was small.
4-It was expensive.

YOU WENT TO A PARTY WHERE YOU MET A LOT OF PEOPLE

WHAT WAS THE PEOPLE LIKE?

1-They were talkative.
2-They were intelligent.
3-They were charming.
4-They were interesting.

Using the same approach, the participants are able to discuss about some other subjects.

ADJECTIVES







Adjective is a key word when learners are initiating a language course. They can express their opinions or make judgments.

Aim: Learning opposites

Activity: Inductive grammar learning exercise followed by oral exercises.

Level: Beginners

Outline:

Use pictures to introduce the words:

1-HAPPY
2-GOOD
3-POOR
4-SMALL
5-ILL
6-OLD
7-YOUNG
8-WRONG
9-STRONG
10-HEAVY
11-COLD
12-SHORT

MAKE SOME CARDS AND HANG THEM ON THE WALL, WHERE THEY CAN EASILY SEEN.

THEY HAVE TO MATCH THE RIGHT OPPOSITE: THE PICTURE AND THE WORD.

To practice the new vocabulary, introduce the sentence:

MY FRIEND HAS GOT A NEW CAR.

Every participant is supposed to say the same sentence changing the adjective, and they can't repeat it.

Ex;

MY FRIEND HAS GOT AN OLD CAR.

MY FRIEND HAS GOT A GREEN CAR.

Now they are able to write and say their own sentences:

I'VE GOT A/AN..........HOUSE.

I'VE GOT A/AN..........DOG.

Enjoy!!!!!
