Key learning points
- It is important to have a good knowledge of sound-symbol correspondences to accurately read aloud in German.
- Look out for tricky sounds and cognates, and mentally rehearse before reading aloud.
- When performing a role-play, answers should be a short phrase or sentence. Do not add unnecessary detail.
- Choose words you know how to pronounce well, so that your responses are clear.
Keywords
SSC - (sound-symbol correspondence) the relationship between letters and their sounds
Common misconception
Like in a picture description and conversation, I should develop my role-play answers as much as possible.
When performing a role-play, answers should be a short phrase or sentence. Pupils should not add too much unnecessary detail.
Teacher tip
The 'read aloud' and 'role-play' learning cycles contain separate tasks for Foundation and Higher-tier students.
