About this ebook

Lesson Plan from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Grammar, Style, Working Technique, grade: 1,2, University of Potsdam (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Games and Activities in the Primary EFL Classroom, language: English, abstract: Early foreign language learning often challenges both pupils and teachers. Reasons for this are, for example, that many teachers are non-specialists or follow strictly the content of the curriculum or the teaching materials and, therefore, do not make the teaching varied. As a result, pupils are less motivated and do not get involved in learning. However, by formulating clear learning goals and using appropriate learning methods correctly and in a variety of ways, lessons can be designed to make both pupils and teachers feel comfortable and work together to achieve goals. This essay wants to show that the chosen method of movement can help in the process of vocabulary learning. To illustrate this, a lesson plan was created focusing on movement and vocabulary learning. The essay is structured as follows: First, it explains exactly what movement means in language teaching and learning and how it can be used effectively. Therefore, potential and limits will be considered. Afterwards, the goal of vocabulary learning will be explained. For both emphases, a connection will be established that is substantiated by the contents of the framework curriculum. In the following discussion, the content and structure of the lesson plan are explained and reasoned. During this presentation, another focus is on the use of different principles of early language learning and the use of differentiation in language teaching. Finally, in the conclusion, the most important arguments of the essay for the named learning goal and the method will be summarized.
