Down to business

Today we start off by getting you talking by using a conversation starter.... The we'll be looking through the curriculum and grade guidelines for the course. (These are written in Swedish)

I then want you to write  5-10 activities that we can do to assess your level of English and give you a grade which corresponds to your level.

Discuss you ideas with someone else who is at your level.

News in Sweden.
Check out today's edition of the "Local". Work with a friend
Choose an item of news and present it very briefly to Mike (write key words if necessary)

Now let us do some spelling. As last time, the words get harder towards the end....

Now choose any 10 words and make them into a little story.

Write your story on paper or on your computer (whichever is easiest)

Project
Your homework for this course will be to prepare a presentation.
5 minutes talking about an English- speaking country. 
Your presentations will be in week 43 (Monday 22 October).
We will distribute the countries today.
You can give some general information and then some interesting area for you

Lesson 2

Welcome to the blog for the Mother tongue course.
On the right side I have put some resources for learning.

A warm-up exercise





Today we start off with an article about social media and young people.

Listen to it and read it HERE

Did you learn any new words?

Now I want you to discuss if it is the same in Sweden.

What social media services do you and your friends use?

Now, let's have a look at what your English is like
Go in on the following page
https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/test-your-english/ 
and try the first test  (General English).

How did you get on?

Now we will do some spelling.

I will read the sentence and you spell the word.

If we have time we will do a bingo.

Try to use as many of the bingo words as possible in a mini-story!!


Next week we will look at the curriculum (kursplan)  and find the right level for our work
