Glossary of terms (from the scheme of work)
A. unfamiliar words
These are words pupils do not already understand or produce in English.
familiar high frequency words
High frequency words are words which pupils use often in Year 3 writing, such as colours,
numbers, days of the week, and classroom objects. Please use your own judgment on familiar
high frequency words, according to words pupils write often in your lessons.
Also see
guided writing
Pupils may follow models for writing, or the teacher will give other support with content,
vocabulary and language.
short sequence of basic directions
Basic directions are short, are often two or three words long and use imperative verb forms, for
example “Turn left”. Two or three of these together make a short sequence of basic directions.

B. short exchanges
An exchange is a dialogue, that is when there are two people communicating (or more than
two). A short exchange will usually include two turns but could include up to three or four turns if
they are very short (e.g. one word/phrase). The turns may be just one word or phrase, a fixed
expression, or may be short simple sentences.
fiction/non-fiction print and digital texts
These are reading texts for young learners of English at CEFR A1 level. Examples include
stories, quizzes, emails, etc.
short simple texts
Short simple texts are those with two sentences and more. They do not usually contain more
than one paragraph. They should be easy for pupils to understand.

C. basic everyday routines


Basic routines are those expressed in simple language, which are very relevant to pupils’ lives.
with support
When pupils do an activity with support they have help from a teacher or classmates when they
do that activity. As pupils’ exposure to and abilities in skills increase, the amount of support
they need should be reduced so as to encourage them to work more independently.
short simple narratives
Short narratives are stories which are more than 10 lines long, up to around 10-12 pages if in
story book form. The simple narratives contain language and ideas which pupils can understand
and which are familiar.
basic opinions
Basic opinions are expressed in simple language and are simple in meaning and the thinking
behind it, for example I like/don’t like … or giving an opinion about a film (e.g. It was good.)

D. a range of target language phonemes


Phonemes are the sounds that make up words in spoken language. By the end of Year 3, pupils
should be able to hear and say most of the phonemes, including some of the less common
ones.
simple opinions
These are the expression of opinions such as what pupils like, dislike, prefer, as well as what
they think about something, such as an idea or some unusual food or clothes. The language
used here will be very simple and the opinions at a basic level. Pupils do not need to justify their
opinion, but could begin to be asked for this in a basic way.
key features of a simple monolingual dictionary
A monolingual dictionary is one which has only English (the words and the definitions). Various
titles are available specifically for children learning English or for A1 level learners.

1. I understand how the CEFR can be used to


identify and describe the communicative
competencies pupils have and what they can or

2. I understand how the CEFR descriptors are used


to write Content and Learning Standards in the
curriculum.

3. I understand how Content and Learning


Standards are used to develop the Syllabuses,
which are a year-by-year description of the
themes and topics, grammar, vocabulary and
structures used in a particular year.

Formative assessment – key concepts


Work in your group to match the teaching strategies to one of the key questions for formative
assessment. Draw lines to show the match. Be ready to give reasons for your matches!

Pre-lesson and post-lesson


Every stage of learning needs pre-lesson activities that activate prior
knowledge (get pupils to see what they already know), and whole
class question and discussion post-lesson activities at the end to

we going? Quick scans
Quick scans are all-pupil-response techniques that let the teacher
quickly check understanding and progress across a whole class. For
example, ask pupils to use their thumbs to show agreement (thumbs
up) or disagreement (thumbs down) or not sure (thumbs sideways) to
a question about their learning.
Feedback
Pupils need to know: what they are aiming for (goals); where they are
now in relation to these goals; and how to close the gap between
where they are now and the goals, that is, how to reach their goal.
Feedback should help at each stage of this process.

Sub-skills for Listening


You will be given one or two of the following Listening sub-skills to read about.
Be ready to explain the sub-skill in your own words to the other members of your group. You
need to explain the skill, the associated challenges for pupils, and the solutions that teachers
can plan for.

Lesson planning support


1. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.1 Look at the relevant Learning Standard(s) for the lesson (main and
complementary skills). What do you want the pupils globally to learn in this
lesson? What skills are involved?

1.2 Look through the activities indicated in the SoW lesson. What do you want
them to achieve at the end of the particular lesson? What are the products
that they will produce? What procedures or processes are they using?

1.3 Write down SMART learning objectives (starting with ‘By the end of the
lesson, pupils will be able to…’)

24
2. MATERIALS

You may need to adapt materials in the textbook in order to address the needs of
your pupils.
2.1. Could you adapt the pre-lesson activity to introduce the topic and/or
activate prior knowledge?

2.2. How multimodal is your material? Which extra material can you find or
develop (with visuals, text, video, whiteboard) to make it more multimodal?
Find ONE extra resource you can use.

2.3. Would using extra visuals help to lessen task difficulty?

2.4. How could you simplify the text in the materials?

2.5. Is there anything you could re-order in the materials?

2.6. Can you divide the activities up between pupils in some way?

2.7. What extra support for language can you find (e.g. dictionaries, glossary,
word banks, reading/writing frame)?

2.8. Think of a way during the lesson to link the materials to real life (e.g. news,
current event).

25
3. DEVELOPING ACTIVITIES

Look at the activities in the SoW lesson plan (pre-lesson, lesson delivery, post-
lesson). Look at the description of the activities in the Student’s Book and the
accompanying notes in the Teacher’s Book. How can you develop any of these
activities using the following approaches?
3.1 . Appealing to different learning styles

3.2 . Encouraging interaction between pupils (pair or group work)

3.3 . Planning for differentiation (see also section on differentiation strategies in

the Scheme of Work)

3.4 . Developing thinking skills

4. CROSS-CURRICULAR ELEMENT(S) & SYLLABUS THEME

4.1. When and how can you integrate the cross-curricular element(s) into the
lesson?

4.2. When and how can you integrate the syllabus theme into the lesson?

26
5. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT & FEEDBACK

5.1 How will you assess whether your pupils have learned what you want them to
learn?

5.2 How do you want to evaluate your lesson with your pupils?

5.3 When and how can you give feedback to your pupils on their learning during
the lesson?

The ‘medals and missions’ model for feedback

Pupils need feedback about their progress and not just praise or encouragement. They need
to know:

 What they are aiming for = Goals (learning objectives, the nature of good work,
etc.)
 Where they are now in relation to these goals = Medals
 How to close the gap between where they are now and the goals = Missions.

Medals: This is information about what a pupil has done well. For example, teachers can
write 'Your sentences are correct!' or ‘Good description!’ in the margin next to simple
well-written descriptions of people or objects. Grades and marks are measurements not
medals. Medals are information about what exactly was done well. It is important to
understand that a medal can relate to the process of learning as well as a final product.

Missions: This is information about what the pupil needs to improve, correct or work on. It is
best when it is forward looking and positive. For example, ‘Use capital letters at the
beginning of sentences' or 'Use full stops at the end of sentences.' Again, measurements
such as grades do not give this information.

Remember: See the SoW for the two stars and a wish model. Choose the model that you
find useful with your pupils, or alternate between both models. The important thing to
remember when you give feedback is:
 What you are telling the pupils
 Why you are saying it
 What the pupils will do with it

Practising ‘medals and missions’ feedback


Look back at your evaluation forms from this morning (Handout D2.S1.H2). If you delivered a
micro-teaching session then look at your AFTER micro-teaching reflection (Handout D2.S1.H1).

Based on your evaluation/reflection write some ‘medals and missions’ feedback. Set a target for
the next micro-teaching (either for someone who delivered micro-teaching or for yourself if you
did deliver).

Identifying Speaking activities


Complete the table in groups by identifying Speaking tasks for each particular Speaking skill/strategy. The first skill/strategy has been done for
you.
Skills/strategies Application
Fluency Speaking that focuses on meaning rather than accuracy (errors can be corrected afterwards).

Task: Picture information gap: pupils work in pairs and describe their pictures to find differences and similarities.

Accuracy Pupils use and pronounce words and phrases correctly.

Suitability Pupils choose grammar and vocabulary that fit the context in which they are speaking.

Turn-taking Turn-taking skills involve knowing how and when to speak, interrupt or prevent interruptions.

12
Repair When speaking spontaneously, pupils can ‘repair’ parts of the conversation if the listener doesn’t understand and
strategies repeat content as necessary. They can also ask for clarification.

Other areas
Responding Pupils are able to invite responses from others using appropriate language, e.g. “Your turn…”, “Really?” “What
and initiating do you think .. ? etc. They can use gestures for conversation management.

Range of Pupils use a good range of words and grammar appropriate to the context.

Ordering Reading skills procedures


Put the procedures for teaching Reading skills (1-8 below) into typical order. The first one
has been done for you.

Stage Procedure and Purpose


1. Warm up activity to set the scene, raise interest, anticipate content
Pre-lesson:
(before reading)

Lesson delivery:
Main idea task
(‘while reading’)

Lesson delivery:
Detailed task
(‘while reading’)

Post-lesson:
(‘after reading’)

1. Warm up-activity to set the scene, raise interest, anticipate content


2. Set a time limit and ask what a text is about to find the main idea of a text
3. Compare whole group answers (whole class feedback) to allow pupils to confirm details
4. Allow pupils to read (with a purpose) for the first time to get an overall idea of the text
5. Pre-teach vocabulary to remove obstacles to reading (only items necessary for the task)
6. Let pupils compare ideas (also known as ‘pair check’ or ‘peer feedback’) to check they
have understood what a text is about.
7. Give a follow-up task (vocabulary development, discussion, writing etc.) to develop skills
8. Let pupils read (purposefully) again to find details in a text

Handout D3.S2.H3

Categorising Reading skills tasks


Consider the tasks below and decide if each task would be:

1) To do as a pre-lesson activity
2) To do as a lesson delivery activity – the main idea
3) To do as a lesson delivery activity – specific information and details
4) To do as a post-lesson activity

READING SKILLS TASKS

1. …read the title and predict content 10. … before reading, write/say words
about what you already know about
2. …use key words to re-tell the text the topic of a text

3. … identify the purpose of the text 11. … answer True/False questions

4. … (if there are a number of short texts) 12. ... draw or label a picture
decide: which they prefer / which is
closest to their country / family / their

2. MATERIALS

You may need to adapt materials in the textbook in order to address the needs of
your pupils.
2.1. Could you adapt the pre-lesson activity to introduce the topic and or
activate prior knowledge?

2.2. How multimodal is your material? Which extra material can you find or
develop (with visuals, text, video, whiteboard) to make it more multimodal?
Find ONE extra resource you can use.

2.3. Would using extra visuals help to reduce task difficulty?

2.4. How could you simplify the text in the materials?

2.5. Is there anything you could re-order in the materials?

2.6. Can you divide the activities up between pupils in some way?

2.7. What extra support for language can you find (e.g. dictionaries, glossary,

7. Learning diaries:
Tell pupils that each one is going to create their own diaries to write
their thoughts. The diary can be a small section in their notebooks.
Ask pupils to think back on their learning so far this week. In their
learning diary, they can write:
 New words I remember
 Activities I enjoyed
 A skill I did well in (L/S/R/W)
 A skill I need to do better in (L/S/R/W)
 Something I feel proud of in their English
Pupils may begin the year reflecting in their first language and at a
very basic level (simple words). Encourage pupils to begin to reflect
more deeply and using more English as the year goes on. Some
pupils will be more able to do this than others. Support pupils who
may need some help and encourage everyone to complete their
diaries. Ensure you allocate time for this activity in your lesson plan.
After the lesson, collect pupils’ writing. Review their work and note
common mistakes or problems. Add supportive and constructive
feedback comments to their work and put the worksheets back on
display in the classroom if possible.

Suggested material for Lesson 4:

Develop a worksheet that gives space for pupils to draw a picture of themselves. Add lines under the picture so pupils can write sentences about themselves and their families. For
example:

Developing a lesson
1. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.1 Look at the relevant Learning Standard(s) for the lesson (main and
complementary skills). What do you want the pupils globally to learn in this
lesson? What skills are involved?

1.2 Look through the activities indicated in the SoW lesson. What do you want
them to achieve at the end of the particular lesson? What do you expect the
pupils to produce? What procedures or processes are they using?

1.3 Write down SMART learning objectives (starting with ‘By the end of the
lesson, pupils will be able to…’)

4
2. MATERIALS

You may need to adapt materials in the textbook in order to address the needs of
your pupils.
2.1. Could you adapt the pre-lesson activity to introduce the topic and or
activate prior knowledge?

2.2. How multimodal is your material? Which extra material can you find or
develop (with visuals, text, video, whiteboard) to make it more multimodal?
Find ONE extra resource you can use.

2.3. Would using extra visuals help to reduce task difficulty?

2.4. How could you simplify the text in the materials?

2.5. Is there anything you could re-order in the materials?

2.6. Can you divide the activities up between pupils in some way?

2.7. What extra support for language can you find (e.g. dictionaries, glossary,
word banks, reading/writing outline)?

Think of a way during the lesson to link the materials to real life (e.g. news,
current event).

3. DEVELOPING ACTIVITIES

Look at the activities in the SoW lesson plan (pre-lesson, lesson delivery, post-
lesson). Look at the description of the activities in the Student’s Book and the
accompanying notes in the Teacher’s Book. How can you develop any of these
activities using the following approaches?
3.1 . Appealing to different learning styles

3.2 . Encouraging interaction between pupils (pair or group work)

3.3 . Planning for differentiation (see also section on differentiation strategies in

the Scheme of Work)

3.4 . Developing thinking skills

4. CROSS-CURRICULAR ELEMENT(S) & SYLLABUS THEME

4.1. When and how can you integrate the cross-curricular element(s) into the
lesson?

4.2. When and how can you integrate the syllabus theme into the lesson?

6
5. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT & FEEDBACK

5.1 How will you assess whether the students have learned what you want
them to learn?

5.2 How do you want to evaluate your lesson with the pupils?

5.3 When and how can you give feedback to your pupils on their learning during
