Introducing new vocabulary When introducing new topic vocabulary, we often use our other languages to help pupils guess the vocabulary. Pupils are able to discuss sounds, patterns in spelling and pronunciation. We find that pupils become more independent and are able to recall more vocabulary as a result of these activities. Pupils realise how the knowledge of one language can help with another and have gained invaluable transferable language skills.
In both faculties, we always encourage pupils to extend their work with a variety of tenses, opinion, reasons and connectives. We have a whole-school strategy known as VCOP, whereby each department has sheets to help pupils with extended writing. It also shows pupils that they can transfer connectives and sentence openers, from one subject to another. In English and Languages, we thought of a new idea known as a ski slope, with the slogan “how low can you go?”. The idea is that pupils take a basic phrase and see how far they can extend it.
