Tips & Tricks
Vind jij Engels moeilijk en zou je er beter in willen worden? De volgende tips kunnen je helpen:
- Basiskennis : met de gratis app "DuoLingo " kun je woordenschat en grammatica op een leuke en speelde manier oefenen. Je kunt deze app op je telefoon of Ipad downloaden.
https://www.duolingo.com/
- Leesvaardigheid: lezen hoeft niet saai te zijn! Vraag aan je docent om een leesboek op jouw niveau (stripboeken, prentenboeken of spannende verhalen ). Lezen is de beste manier om je woordenschat en basiskennis van een taal te verbeteren.
- Woordjes: met de gratis app en website "Quizlet " kun je woordjes oefenen. Vraag aan je docent om een code zodat je de juiste woordjes van jouw klas kunt vinden.
http://www.quizlet.com
- Luistervaardigheid: Volg wekelijks een Engels programma op de BBC, Netflix of een kanaal op YouTube. Vind je het lastig? Kijk dan eerst met Nederlandse ondertiteling en dan nog een keer zonder.
Grammar year 1
Elk tabblad is op de volgende manier ingedeeld:
Notes
Hier vind je de aantekeningen en de PowerPoint die we in de les hebben gebruikt.
Video
Soms staat er een video over het onderwerp. Je mag zelf kiezen of je deze wilt bekijken of niet.
Practice
Hier vind je opdrachten waarmee je de stof kunt oefenen. Dit is erg belangrijk om te doen! Als je alleen je aantekeningen doorleest of overschrijft ben je niet goed voorbereid op je toets. Ook is het oefenen belangrijk zodat je beter wordt in het lezen, schrijven en spreken van de Engelse taal.
