A Passport to English og L06 Årstrinn Hovedområder 1–10. Vg1 Vg2 Språklæring Kommunikasjon (yrkesfaglige utdanningsprogram) Kultur, samfunn og litteratur A Passport to English dekker de fleste kompetansemålene i engelsk for ungdomstrinnet innenfor hovedområdene språklæring, kommunikasjon og kultur, samfunn og litteratur. Vi har valgt å ta for oss kompetansemålene (uthevet) og kort kommentert hvilken relevans A Passport to English har i forhold til målene. Fra side 4 og utover er det en detaljert innholdsoversikt. KOMMUNIKASJON Beherske et ordforråd som dekker en rekke ulike emner Forstå muntlige og skriftlige tekster om en rekke ulike emner Presentere og samtale om aktuelle og tverrfaglige temaer Lese og forstå tekster av ulik lengde og i flere sjangere Det er 18 ulike tema per destinasjon. Temaene innledes med tekster i forskjellige sjangere Geografiske forhold Historiske hendelser Historiske personer Nyheter Kunst Musikk og teater Politikk Skjønnlitteratur Faglitteratur Poesi Avistegninger, tegneserier, vitser Bygninger Monumenter Museer Sport Festivaler og høytider Naturvitenskap Utdanning Bruke språkets grunnleggende formverk og tekststrukturer muntlig og skriftlig Tilpasse muntlig og skriftlig språkbruk til sjanger og situasjon Uttrykke seg skriftlig og muntlig med en del presisjon, flyt og sammenheng Skrive tekster som forteller, beskriver, argumenterer eller formidler beskjed, med passende grunnstruktur og hensiktsmessig bruk av avsnitt Det er minst en skriftlig eller muntlig oppgave per tema i ulike sjangere. Svar på skriftlige oppgaver sendes automatisk over til læreren, som kan skrive kommentarer i oppgavene, og sende dem tilbake til elevene. En del skoler har en annen plattform i tillegg til Kunnskap.no, og lar elevene skrive oppgavene i Word og laste dem over til den andre plattformen. A Passport to English inneholder en rekke språklab-oppgaver. Flere lærere bruker oppgavene som utgangspunkt for muntlige framføringer i det vanlige klasserommet, slik at elevene kan øve seg alene eller i par på datarommet før de framfører for en større gruppe. RADA i London inneholder spesielt mange muntlige oppgaver, som gjerne kan gjøres flere ganger. Bruke innhold fra ulike kilder på en selvstendig og kritisk måte Det er supplerende tekster og utvalgte lenker til de fleste av temaene som gir mulighet for fordypning. Kommunisere via digitale medier Kunnskap.no inneholder verktøyene chat og forum. Bruken er forklart i Hjelp øverst til høyre etter pålogging. Hjelp I forum kan elevene være ”agony aunts” som løser små og store problemer. Chat fungerer bra i forbindelse med brainstorming. Krev at elevene skriver minst en setning hver. KULTUR Gjøre rede for trekk ved historie og geografi i Storbritannia og USA Elevene kan besøke London, Edinburgh, New Orleans, Boston og New York. Byene inneholder spesielt mye historie, men også en del geografi. Aviskioskene i hver by inneholder nyheter om aktuelle hendelser Beskrive situasjonen til noen urfolk i engelskspråklige land Temaet indianere behandles i Boston og New York, aborginere i Sydney. Lese og drøfte et representativt utvalg litterære tekster fra sjangrene dikt, novelle, roman og skuespill fra den engelskspråklige verden Beskrive tema og komposisjon i tekster og visuelle uttrykk Lage og samtale om egne muntlige eller skriftlige tekster inspirert av litteratur og kunst I hver by er det bibliotek med dikt, noveller, romaner og skuespill. Læremidlet inneholder et rikholdig utvalg bilder. SPRÅKLÆRING Beskrive og vurdere eget arbeid med å lære engelsk. Utnytte ulike situasjoner, arbeidsmåter og strategier for å lære seg engelsk. Selvrettende oppgaver gjør det lettere for elevene å styre egen læringsprosess. Arbeidet fungerer best hvis elevene får differensierte arbeidsplaner basert på tydelige læringsmål. La elevene loggføre arbeidet med læringsmålene. Bruke ulike hjelpemidler kritisk og selvstendig. Andre nettsteder, gratis leksika som Wikipeida.com, elektroniske ordbøker m.m. vil fungere som nyttige hjelpemidler i arbeidet med A Passport to English. A Passport to English inneholder forøvrig mange grammatikkoppgaver og skriveoppgaver i ulike sjangere, men det gis ingen systematisk innføring i grammatikk eller sjangerlære.
