Introduction Das ist Deutsch! is designed for non-specialist teachers of foreign languages. The scheme aims to encourage primary-school pupils to enjoy learning German, and to communicate in speech and writing through the acquisition of simple grammar and a variety of vocabulary. Each of the 18 units has teachers notes and photocopiable pupil worksheets. Each unit addresses several learning objectives, allowing for the material to be taught over several lessons or as a whole. Grammar teaching is approached through the context of the unit theme, for example der / die / das in the context of household objects and adjectives in the unit about clothes. There is progression through the units, but they can equally be selected for use in a different order, to complement classwork in maths or English, for example. The Schlüsselwörter Key Words section in the teachers notes for each unit contains the language that pupils should learn. Frequent references are made to relevant units elsewhere in the book where the same key language also appears. Additional vocabulary may be required to meet pupils particular interests, and some of the activities require the use of a German English dictionary. The Activities sections are written as suggested lessons and provide readily accessible teaching plans that can be adapted and altered to suit individual needs. The Further activities are not always more difficult; they provide further suggested ways of working within the unit if more time is available, and include ideas for successful classroom displays, as well as larger group or wholeschool exercises. All the worksheets may be adapted and modified to suit individual pupils. Several are designed to be cut up to make flashcards or games. These sheets would benefit from enlargement and/or lamination. The Grammar Points section includes notes on basic grammar concepts introduced in the units. A complete listing of the Schlüsselwörter Key Words is on pages 104 108. Many opportunities exist to link the study of German language through Das ist Deutsch! to other curriculum areas: literacy and numeracy, ICT, technology, geography, music, art and sport. Pupils can collaborate with others in pairs and groups and expand their cultural awareness. Above all, pupils can experience through learning a foreign language a sense of personal achievement that they can carry forward into their secondary-school language learning. 3

Schlüsselwörter Key words Guten Tag Auf Wiedersehen Ich heiße Wie geht s? Gut, danke danke Wie heißt du? hello goodbye My name is How are you? Fine, thank you thank you What is your name? Introduce Guten Tag. Pupils repeat the word. You could move around the class and shake hands with individuals saying Guten Tag, encouraging them to reply. Explain greeting customs: shaking hands, kissing on both cheeks. Introduce Wie heißt du? for recognition, and reply Ich heiße. On Sheet 1a pupils can fill in their picture frame and copy the sentences. Introduce the phrases Wie geht s? and Gut, danke. Pupils repeat the question and answer. They could question each other and give the response. Introduce Auf Wiedersehen. Pupils repeat it. Mix with Guten Tag to practise. Distribute cards from sheet 1b.

Read out the alphabet in German. Spell the name of someone in the class in German the first person to guess the name correctly wins a point. Play in teams. Pupils could take the role of caller. Pupils spell out their own names for a partner to write exactly as they say. They could use German name cards for additional practice. Further activities Give each pupil a card with a new German name. They introduce themselves using Ich heiße (see sheet 6a for sample names). Pupils meet each other around the group using as many phrases as possible in a conversation (with or without reference to sheet 1c). The question Wie heißt du? could be incorporated into the dialogues. Using photographs, pupils mount their picture with Guten Tag. Ich heiße beneath it, round it etc. Make a class display. 6 Das ist Deutsch!
