Spanish Primary Sentence Builders is a workbook aimed at beginner students, co-authored by four modern languages educators with over 80 years of extensive classroom experience between the four, both in the UK and internationally. This book is fully photocopiable but may not be scanned and sharedThis 'no-frills' book contains 7 units of work on very popular themes, jam-packed with graded vocabulary-building, listening, reading, translation, retrieval practice and writing activities. Key vocabulary, lexical patterns and structures are recycled and interleaved throughout. Each unit in the book includes: a sentence builder modelling the target constructions, introduced by questions to guide communication;a set of Listening-As-Modelling activities to train decoding skills, sound awareness, speech-segmentation, lexical-retrieval and parsing skills;a set of reading tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text;a set of translation tasks aimed at consolidation through retrieval practice;a set of writing tasks targeting essential writing micro-skills such as spelling, functional and positional processing, editing and communication of meaning.answers to all activities, including transcriptsBased on the E. P. I. principle that learners learn best from comprehensible and highly patterned input flooded with the target linguistic features, the authors have carefully designed each and every text and activity to enable the student to process and produce each item many times over. Alongside the units you will find: No Snakes No Ladders tasks created to practise speaking skills with an engaging and fun board game that can be photocopied and played in groups of 3 students. Please note that both The Language Gym www.language-gym.com and SentenceBuilders.com websites are an ideal supplement to this booklet. Our websites recycle every single lexical and structural item found in this book many times over via self-marking vocabulary and reading workouts, in addition to engaging and fun games and a powerful vocab, listening, sentence & verb trainer.

Duitse Zinsstructuren Primair is een werkboek gericht op jonge leerlingen (7 tot 12 jaar oud), mede geschreven door zeven leraren moderne vreemde talen met samen meer dan 110 jaar uitgebreide leservaring, zowel in Nederland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk als internationaal; inclusief meer dan 20 jaar ervaring in het primair onderwijs. Dit boek 'zonder franje' bevat 10 hoofdstukken over zeer populaire thema's bomvol activiteiten voor stapsgewijze opbouw van woordenschat en lees-, vertaal-, herhaal-, oefen- en schrijfactiviteiten, die belangrijke woordenschat en lexicale patronen en structuren herhalen en afwisselen. Elk hoofdstuk bevat: een schema met zinsstructuren die constructies in de doeltaal modelleren, ingeleid door vragen om de communicatie te begeleiden;een reeks luisteren-om-te-modelleren activiteiten om decoderingsvaardigheden, geluidsbewustzijn, segmentatie van spraakklanken, lexicaal ophalen en syntactisch ontleden te trainen;een reeks leestaken die zich richten op zowel de betekenis als de structuur van de tekst;een reeks vertaaltaken gericht op consolidatie door middel van het ophalen van kennis;een reeks schrijftaken gericht op belangrijke microvaardigheden zoals spelling, ophalen van woordenschat, syntax en bewerken en communiceren van betekenis. Gebaseerd op het E. P. I. principe dat leerlingen het best leren van begrijpelijke input met veel patronen en overspoeld met de taalkundige kenmerken van de doeltaal, hebben de auteurs elke tekst en activiteit zorgvuldig ontworpen om de leerling in staat te stellen elk item vele malen opnieuw te verwerken en te produceren.

This is the answer booklet for the Italian Sentence Builders: Trilogy-Part 1 has been conceived as a supplement to our Italian Sentence Builders: Trilogy - Part I book

French verb pivots - Part 1 - focuses on the present indicative, but also covers the immediate future, as well as modal verbs. It is a book aimed at beginner-to-pre-intermediate learners of French, for classroom or independent use, whatever the setting or course. Traditional grammar and lexicogrammar intersect throughout the whole book, allowing learners to become creative with each sentence pattern and master the manipulation of the changeable items in each sentence. This book aims at teaching how to use the most useful and frequent French verbs in everyday communication in order to: - manipulate them effectively(inflectional morphology, e.g. how to conjugate them in the present)- deal with the linguistic choices they trigger(pattern grammar, i.e.: the constructions associated with each verb)- master the rules which bind words together within a given syntactic pattern (colligations, i.e.: how each word affects the next; for instance how determiners or adjectives agree in gender and number with nouns)Each of the 9 units in the book centres on a key verb, which is then explored through a wide range of enjoyable multi-modal tasks. Each unit starts 'small', with the target verb being learnt within very basic sentence patterns and in the first person only, before gradually increase in length and complexity. Recycling is carefully engineered to allow for repeated receptive and productive processing of the target language items within the same units and across the whole book.

French Sentence Builders: Trilogy-Part I -GRAMMAR BOOKLET has been conceived as a supplement to our French Sentence Builders: Trilogy - Part I bookIt is divided into 15 units, with matching Sentence Builders from the main Trilogy book. Each of the units is based around one Main Grammar Focus, which is explained and then taught via an array of engaging Conti, EPI, vocab building, translation and writing tasks. There are also additional Pop-up Grammar sections to introduce and teach other grammatical points required throughout the book. This grammar book has been carefully crafted based on the following research-informed grammar principles: a grammar teaching sequence should not move to production until the knowledge of the target grammar is established receptively;the transition from the receptive to productive processing of the target grammar should be gradual and seamless;the target grammar should be practised with vocabulary that the learners are highly familiar with in order to minimize cognitive load;language learners should only be taught grammar structures which are highly frequent, have high surrender value and that they are developmentally ready to learnin order to prevent forgetting, the target grammar must be recycled several times over the weeks and months after it was first taughtinterleaving practice with two or more structures is beneficial for retentiongrammar teaching should be as multimodal as possiblethe synergy of explicit and implicit instruction is more effective than either type of instruction on its ownautomatic/fluent retrieval is a must when it comes to the most important grammatical features

The Spanish Verb Pivots book focuses on the present indicative, but also covers the immediate future, and gustar + infinitive (as well as 'verbs like gustar'). It is aimed at learners in the A1-B1 proficiency range. It was conceived both for classroom and independent use, whatever the method, setting or course, as it offers ample opportunities for practice through a wide range of activities designed to appeal to learners with a variety of cognitive styles and learning preferences. It can be used to introduce the target verbs and associated grammar and lexicogrammar patterns to absolute beginners. It can also be useful if you teach lower-to-intermediate learners (years 9 to 11 in the U. K.) in order to consolidate, expand and deepen their mastery of those verbs and patterns. The latter learners, in our experience, are often able to master verb formation, but lack depth of knowledge, i.e. knowledge of verb collocations (which lexis the verbs partner with) and colligations (the rules which bind the verbs with what comes before and after them in a sentence). Each macro-unit starts 'small' with the target verb being learnt within very basic sentence patterns and in the first person only. As each unit progresses the target verbs are modelled in sentence patterns which gradually increase in length and complexity. In order to enhance transferrability of learning and lexical depth, each verb is also practised with a variety of lexical sets. For instance, the verb Tener is practised with animals, classroom objects, clothes, physical description, emotional and physical states, age, etc. Traditional grammar and lexicogrammar intersect throughout the whole book, as, in order for the learners to be able to become creative with each sentence pattern, they must also master the manipulation of the changeable items in each sentence such as verbs, adjectives, pronouns determiners, etc. The teaching of grammar arises organically from the need to enhance the generative power of each target sentence pattern - this is a major innovation of this book.

This is the ANSWER BOOK for German Absolute Beginners/PRIMARY Sentence Builders - Part 1

This is the ANSWER BOOK for French PRIMARY Sentence Builders - Part 1

Het boek bevat 19 hoofdstukken die te maken hebben met een specifieke communicatieve functie, zoals 'Het uiterlijk en de persoonlijkheid van mensen beschrijven', 'Mensen vergelijken en contrasteren', 'Zeggen wat je wel en niet leuk vindt' of 'Zeggen wat jij en anderen in de vrije tijd doen'. In de inhoudsopgave van dit boek is per hoofdstuk de communicatieve functie aagegeven. Elk hoofdstuk bevat: een schema met zinsstructuren die constructies in de doeltaal modelleren;een reeks oefeningen om de woordenschat op te bouwen;een reeks zeer begrijpelijke leesteksten die worden gebruikt voor een diversiteit aan takendie zich richten op zowel de betekenis als de structuur van de tekst;een reeks vertaaltaken om de stof op te halen;een reeks schrijftaken gericht op belangrijke microvaardigheden zoals spelling, ophalen van woordenschat, syntax en bewerken en communiceren van betekenis. Elk schema met zinsstructuren aan het begin van een hoofdstuk bevat n of meer constructies die zijn geselecteerd met real-life communicatie in gedachten. Elk hoofdstuk is rond die constructie(s) gebouwd, maar niet uitsluitend daarop. Gebaseerd op het principe dat elke EPI-instructiereeks van modellering naar productie moet gaan, breidt elk hoofdstuk het materiaal in elk schema met zinsstructuren uit door het in te bedden in teksten en stapsgewijs opgebouwde taken die zowel bekende als onbekende (maar begrijpelijke en leerbare) woordenschat en structuren bevatten. Door veel en zorgvuldig hergebruik en uitgebreide verwerking van de input, heeft de leerling aan het einde van elk hoofdstuk veel mogelijkheden om met de nieuwe woordenschat en patronen geconfronteerd te worden en deze te verwerken met materiaal van voorgaande hoofdstukken. Naast de hoofdstukken bevat het boek: grammaticablokken: n of twee pagina's met activiteiten regelmatig verspreid tussen de hoofdstukken. Ze richten zich expliciet op de belangrijkste grammaticale structuren die de generatieve kracht van de schema's met zinsstructuren versterken. Op dit niveau gaan ze vooral over de vervoegingen van belangrijke werkwoorden in de tegenwoordige tijd, geven ze de leerlingen een inleiding tot het gebruik van naamvallen en bieden ze mogelijkheden om vertrouwen op te bouwen met de Duitse woordvolgorde;blokken vraagvaardigheden: n of twee pagina's over het begrijpen en maken van vragen. Ook deze blokken komen regelmatig verspreid tussen de hoofdstukken in het boek voor, om dezelfde vraagpatronen in verschillende taalkundige contexten te hergebruiken;blokken 'Even Herhalen': dit zijn herhalingsoefeningen die erop gericht zijn de eerder geleerde woordenschat levend te houden. Ook deze komen regelmatig voor;zelftesten: deze tref je aan het einde van het boek aan. Ze zijn verdeeld in twee secties, een voor minder zelfverzekerde een een voor meer zelfverzekerde leerlingen. Het doel van alle bovenstaande blokken is om veel systematisch hergebruik en afwisseling te implementeren, twee technieken die een sterkere retentie en overdracht van leren mogelijk maken
