The pupils can start after the autumn half-term holiday at the beginning of Key Stage 1. Most of the exercises are designed for working on together. As supervisor of the group, you can monitor the pupils’ work and help them to complete the exercises in the workbook and on the website. This manual provides background information for each exercise. You can hold conversations with the pupils in English about the songs, the fairy tale and the other topics. This continually stimulates the pupils to discuss the material. During those discussions, you can prompt the pupils to use a Spanish word every now and again. The pupils become familiar with the new sounds and words in the foreign language which will give them a head start if they continue learning Spanish in Key Stage 2 with: ‘Juan y Rosa están de vacaciones’.I hope you enjoy teaching Spanish with this book! With kind regards, Antoinette GerichhausenPupils can learn Spanish independently while working together in small groups, encouraging both collaboration and self-directed learning.The Juan y Rosa learning method is supported by a free digital learning environment.
