5 lessons

Threads

  • The present

Description

In this unit, pupils use singular -er and -ar verbs, including stem-change verb ‘jugar’ to play, for end of school year activities, summer days and music lessons. They extend cultural knowledge learning names of several typical musical instruments from Peru. Pupils practise new sounds, v, b, and h.

This unit expands pupils’ verb lexicon and their ability to manipulate verbs in the present tense, which are key learning for beginner language learners. Now that pupils already know several regular -ar and -er verbs, they learn a new verb ‘jugar’ to play, which includes a stem change. Bringing together knowledge of nouns, adjectives, -ar, -er and irregular verbs enables students to apply their learning to listen and respond to a more extended passage. Trickier sound-symbol correspondences v, b and h are introduced now that pupils are confident with easier sounds.
