Language Record

A to Z Primary index
A to Z Secondary index

What and Why?

There are Language Record pages at the end of the Topic and Language Focus units. These provide a record and easy reference of the language the students have covered. They are designed to be completed by the students in their own time either in class or at home.

Practical ideas

  • As students finish the topic units and Language Focus units, direct them to the Language Record at the end of the unit.
  • Initially, allow time in class for students to complete it. They can also do it for homework.
  • Students don't have to wait until the end of the lesson to fill it in. They have time to spare, they can fill it in.
  • While they are working on the Language Record, you can go round and monitoring and guiding.
  • Encourage students to think of their own examples for the sentences. This will support the Picture Dictionary (Levels 1 and 2) or Vocabulary Map (Level 3) sections in the workbook.
