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!
