Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, regardless of level, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce accurately language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is integral to successful language learning.

The questions feature a range of tenses and moods, such as the present tense, present subjunctive, perfect, imperfect, and conditional perfect. There are several questions focusing on wenn + subjunctive + conditional clauses, and a significant amount of implicit input on a range of grammatical concepts, such as word order with separable verbs in various tenses, um + zu clauses and so on.

There is a broad range of grammar and vocabulary in the questions, as the activity is not solely about practising language, but also about*** actively learning*** it. Encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, as this enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to progress in their learning.

Questions formats are varied, to ensure maximum opportunity to work with the different ways to ask questions in German. Some questions seek to elicit very similar information, but are asked in different language: this avoids learners simply parroting learned responses to fixed prompts.

The starters broadly address the following themes:
music, film & television literature & culture :personal life, information & preferences : leisure & free time : health & well-being : history & society
recent & current events : travel, tourism & holidays : technology & social media : likes & dislikes : local environment : environmental & social issues : education & studies

The Lively Learning Classroom offers a wide range of German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.

VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!
