More Fun Ideas for Advancing Modern Foreign Languages in the Primary
Classroom contains 77 activities for use with pupils who have been
studying a new language for a while and are ready to progress beyond
learning simple vocabulary and phrases. The fun activities will help
pupils learn to manipulate the language, improve their decoding skills
and discover how the new language functions at sentence level. The
resulting recognition that language can be mastered is empowering. It
enables creative communication and gives young learners a feeling of
ownership of the language being learnt. The activities support the Year
5-6 objectives of the Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages. They are
suitable for most languages and for a wide range of language topics. The
inherent rationale behind each activity is that it is enjoyable and
interactive, challenging children's understanding of the language and
furnishing them with a purpose to their learning. With activities
ranging from 'Human alphabet' and 'Foreign language detectives' to
'Secret signal' and 'Be the teacher', you will never be stuck for ideas.
