Welcome to Year 11 English - Work to be completed while i´m in Scotland

Hello Y11AB!

Welcome to Y11 English!

Unfortunately, I am away from school on a School Exchange in Scotland until the 18th of September, I look forward to meeting you when I get back. In my absence, I would like you to complete the following work. If you have any problems/ don´t understand something, please ask Mr Mummery.

Language Learning

Our introduction unit will be about how to learn languages. I would like you to think about your own experiences but also read the texts for some ideas.

1)      Read the text David Sedaris – Me Talk Pretty One Day

Underline and look up any words you don´t understand in a dictionary or on www.wordreference.com. You might need to read it more than once.

2)      Answer the 3 discussion questions in your notebooks – between 70 – 100 words per question

3)      Read the text entitled ´How actively watching films made me learn Spanish´

4)      Answer the following questions based on the text

·         What is your opinion of this man´s approach to language learning?

·         How does this man´s approach differ/compare to your own approach?

5)      Complete a piece of writing 250 – 300 words giving advice to people who have just started to learn a foreign language – use your own personal experience of language learning as well as ideas from the text. This piece of work will be collected in when I return and will be my first impression of you – try your best!
