5. “Across all phases speaking is the least well developed of all the skills.
Students’ inability to be able to say what they want to say in a new
language has a negative impact on their confidence and enthusiasm.”
“A further hindrance to speaking fluently was that soundspelling links not been taught well.”
“...it was much rarer for reading or listening to be used to
stimulate discussion and communicative activities.”
‘When required to speak at greater length or in new
situations, ...accuracy and fluency deteriorate, partly because
[the] grasp of structure is usually less secure than [the]
retention of vocabulary.’

33. Word in a bag – explain it to the group.
What level??
Dice games: 1 dice represents pronouns, second dice represents
verbs or tenses.
Write an unknown word on the board: pupils ask questions to
find out what it means.
Guessing game: In pairs, one pupil has a card with a word on a
topic, the partner has to ask questions about it to work out what it
is e.g. an item of lost property, a job, a famous person etc.
TV programme: turn off the sound and pupils provide the
dialogue or use future tense by asking what will happen next.
Balloon debate: Who gets thrown out first?
Cluedo: Who did it? – in groups (with a time limit) pupils come up
with either:

Page 33
a) the most excuses
b) the most creative excuse / alibi
34. Throw the ball: Differentiated questions and responses.
Build it up: Go round the class or back and forth (in pairs): pupils
add a detail to a sentence to make it longer e.g. je joue, je joue au
tennis, je joue au tennis avec John etc.
Link it: Link key phrases and grammar points to different topics
when teaching it e.g. je n’ai pas de frères and ask pupils to come
up with other nouns to replace frères.
Opinions: Put key higher level phrases in an envelope and pupils
in groups. One person rolls the dice e.g. 5 and takes out 5
phrases from the envelope e.g. parce que / weil, je pense que / ich
denke, dass, etc. They have to answer a question using all 5
phrases. This can be made more competitive e.g. rolling a 6 =
nominate someone else to do your turn.
Sounds: in pairs or alone, pupils find as many words as they can
with particular sounds. (they could be searching for rhyming words

Editor's Notes
Use a routine start to each class, elicit answers from pupils. In the beginning you can ask questions and choose pupil to answer, once they get more confident it can be pupil led. (I saw it in French schools and it really engaged kids, the teacher kept record of who had contributed each lesson and ones with most points at the end of the month got a mini prize)
Pupils interview each other either about own details or those of a celebrity. For lower ability groups use following slide for cues.
Follow up writing format for previous two slides
Group work-each table has a leader who picks a smarty out of a bag after all other pupils have been allocated a colour. If they answer correctly they can eat the sweet! If not the leader can. To extend the activity, there could be various questions for each colour ranging in difficulty.
Use slide to elicit theme of comparatives for 1.3 Mira 2 and quickly recap vocab/structure.
Go through characters and check everyone knows them. Do one example with class to remind them of structure “____es más______que_______”. Pupils tick image for their opinion and then talk in pairs to guess what their partner thinks, they get a point if correct!
1. Mime/narration-To be used to consolidate and drill vocab on daily routine. 2. Pupils then say/write about their own daily routine and the other pupil listens and puts images in the correct order. 3. memory pairs unit 1.4 Mira 2
Use as intro to theme of excuses on pg 30 Mira 2 2.4.
Pupils circulate the room, when music stops they invite their partner to do an activity, partner gives an excuse. Do the same vice versa then swap papers. For higher ability pupils, they can fold over the writing so they have to remember how to say the excuse in Spanish.
These slides can be used to practise numerous tenses: present, past, imperfect & future.
1. Simple Q and A format.
2. A ver si adivinas: I have mini cut outs of all the images in a bag and students have to select one place, one form of transport etc and the other student has to guess the answers.
Pupils make a note of their own answers then take it in turns to get what their partners answers are…..they have to repeat each time and start from the beginning if they get it wrong. (do demo with teacher first!!)
