CoPE International resources

These 10 lessons were the basis of our lessons in the Autumn Term.  After we finished these, students went straight on to the challenge 1-12 checklist and the associated tasks, which led them back over their learning from the lessons.  They had complete autonomy in terms of the order of challenges and the learning methods they used to get themselves ready for the teacher to assess them.  In their own time, they then asked for teacher assessment within the class time.

Further CoPE International materials

At the Flying High conference in Loughborough I said I would be happy to upload some materials that I have created and used with my students who are learning Spanish from scratch this year.  These two resources give you an overview of what they have managed in the first term of learning, i.e. 20 hours of lesson time, although they began with a 6-hour orientation course trialling different methods of language learning, including Michel Thomas, EuroTalk software, various websites, Earworms, teacher-input, etc..This was really valuable for many reasons.  Students began to take themselves seriously as language learners and evaluate their own learning styles and preferences and I was able to use the time to get to know them as learners too, which was instrumental in helping me to design appropriate tasks and activities for their learning.  These two powerpoints are not presentations/shows, they are documents: Download cope_international_progress_checklist_after_1_term.ppt - this one is for students to record and monitor their own progress as they complete the challenges and Download cope_international_challenges_112.ppt this one contains the tasks/activities for each of the challenges 1-12 that we attempted in term 1.  In addition to these materials, that I produced mainly for revision, there were whole-class powerpoint materials (I will put these up separately soon!) , supported by use of websites and EuroTalk software, which is a favourite of most of the class.
