How this session supports the new curriculum
• “New” curriculum, new approach• Opportunity to focus on what kind of
linguists we want to create• Reflection on how to achieve this - doing
what we know works• My focus - creativity, engagement, ICT,
independence, communication skills…
Beginning the journey• Empower students to read - decoding,
independence• Sound-spelling links, phonics• Improved confidence in pronunciation, reading,
listening (deciphering what they hear) and improved writing from awareness of phoneme-grapheme relationship
• “Perfect reading” example - Year 10
Linking L1 to L2• Contrasting sounds/spellings• Lesson starters• Focus on commonly mispronounced words
eg. cognates
Using rhythm to support learning

a nnive rsa ire
• Q u’e st-ce q u’il y a à fa ire ?
• Il y a b e a uco up d e ch o se s à fa ire
• Il n’y a p a s g ra nd cho se à fa ire !
• Long sentences, asking questions• Kinesthetic learners, memory retention• Awareness of syllables, pronunciation
Using song to support learning• Purpose?• Repetition, structure, memory, fun,
listening…• Strong rhythms, catchy classics…• Downloads, karaoke tracks, copyright…

engaging activities that promote independence and support communication?
