1. School routine For this unit the main skill I focused on was the speaking. As a first task, I wanted the students to gain the confidence they needed to produce language by stressing on the skill they fear most on the easiest topic to enhance the positivity towards languages and the forward thinking they needed in order to carry out the course and to see the importance of languages in the world of today.

I showed them the common error of: -Confusion between ‘cuatro’ and ‘cuarto’ -Similarity between ‘cuarto’ in Spanish and ‘quarter to’ in English

30. Speaking As the students are to practise their questions prior to the exams, the Spanish assistant recorded their 6 questions and answers using a microphone and the program called Audacity, and I downloaded the recording on their MP3 player, so that they could listen to it at any time, which keeping their ‘street cred’ intact.
