GCSE Dutch J733 (Linear 2012)
Introduction
Background
OCR has produced a summary brochure, which summarises the changes to Dutch. This can be
found at www.ocr.org.uk, along with the new specification.
In addition and in response to reforms announced by the Government and in response to Ofqual
mandated changes to GCSEs, unitised assessment of this qualification is being replaced by linear
assessment from September 2012. This means that candidates commencing a two year course
from September 2012 will take all of their GCSE units at the end of the course in June 2014.
In order to help you plan effectively for the implementation of the new specification we have
produced these Schemes of Work and Sample Lesson Plans for Dutch. These Support Materials
are designed for guidance only and play a secondary role to the Specification.
Our Ethos
OCR involves teachers in the development of new support materials to capture current teaching
practices tailored to our new specifications. These support materials are designed to inspire
teachers and facilitate different ideas and teaching practices.
Each Scheme of Work and set of sample Lesson Plans is provided in:

Word format – so that you can use it as a foundation to build upon and amend the content to
suit your teaching style and students’ needs.
The Scheme of Work and sample Lesson plans provide examples of how to teach this unit and the
teaching hours are suggestions only. Some or all of it may be applicable to your teaching.
The Specification is the document on which assessment is based and specifies what content and
skills need to be covered in delivering the course. At all times, therefore, this Support Material
booklet should be read in conjunction with the Specification. If clarification on a particular point is
sought then that clarification should be found in the Specification itself.

The choice of film is important here. It helps
to have subtitles. Film can be watched in


The website ‘uitzending gemist’ is useful for
watching Dutch TV, from simple children’s
programmes to news items on the jeugd
journaal. It will be necessary to give an
introduction so the class knows what to
expect but listening to native speakers will
help to develop better pronunciation
Pupils could collate clips from
YouTube for themselves
explaining why they choose a clip
and what they liked and disliked
about it

Watch extracts from films

Watching a film or TV clip should
be followed by Non-Verbal exercises
(Matching, box-ticking, single word
response, multiple choice, true-false, table,
gaps) or Verbal exercises (Short responses
in Dutch, short responses in English,
extensive responses in Dutch, extensive
responses in English) to consolidate the
learning objectives


Read TV listings

Omroepgidsen such as KRO, Vara, AVRO,
EO give descriptions of TV programmes
www.omroep.nl
www.comedy.nl

It is necessary to explain the Dutch ‘zuilen’
system (or the background of the different
Dutch broadcasting companies) when the
class is looking at the different TV guides

Newspaper articles explaining the
programmes

The weekend editions of Dutch newspapers
often have articles about oncoming TV
programmes. (Volkskrant Zaterdag editie,
Telegraaf Zaterdag editie)

This can be consolidated by using the
website www.uitzendinggemist.nl to watch
the programmes described

Newspaper articles reviewing last night’s
programmes

This will consolidate the use of the different
past tenses

POINTS TO NOTE

Pieces written by the teacher about fictional
people who have watched a programme

For C to G grade students, newspaper
articles might be too difficult. A text using
only simple phrases will help these students
to focus on the topic

Write about a TV programme

If possible this lesson should be structured
so that it follows on from previously read
descriptions and subsequent viewing of
Dutch TV programmes. For Grades C to G it
will be enough to write about their favourite
English TV programme

Write about a film star, TV personality,
producer, director

Again it is preferable that the work is
completed following the viewing of Dutch
TV. However, the class may write about any
celebrity of their choice, and for C to G
grade this option may be preferable

Write about a favourite evening of TV
programmes

Pupils devise an evening with their
favourite programmes, justifying

vocabulary, recap tenses
Make a card game with pictures of different
types of programmes (four concerning
news, four comedies etc, in this case
English programmes might be easier to use)
and play in small groups asking ‘mag ik van
jou van de komedies ….’

a good idea if teachers can prepare a
sample review
= Innovative teaching idea
GCSE Dutch J733 (Linear 2012)
POINTS TO NOTE

One member of class ‘is’ a TV personality
and the class tries to find out who it is.
Needs teacher involvement, can
be used to recap vocabulary and
tenses

This might be helpful for weaker students as
they can recap the vocabulary in a simple
game, with only a few pupils watching

This is an enjoyable activity, but
requires considerable prior
learning. The language used can
support writing activities well. It can be done
as a team effort, and uploading onto
YouTube is a good motivator

Sample GCSE Lesson Plan
OCR GCSE Dutch
Area 3, leisure and entertainment, film and TV
OCR recognises that the teaching of this qualification above will vary greatly from school to school
and from teacher to teacher. With that in mind this lesson plan is offered as a possible approach
but will be subject to modifications by the individual teacher.
Lesson length is assumed to be one hour.
Learning Objectives for the Lesson
Objective 2
Learn vocabulary of different types of TV programmes such as films, reality TV,
game shows, news etc.
Express likes and dislikes.
Objective 3
Give justifications.
Objective 4
Revise past tense(s).
Objective 5
Write about different programmes.
Objective 1
Recap of Previous Experience and Prior Knowledge
Recap the use of past tense. The use of the perfect tense for when they saw a programme and the
use of the simple past for descriptions, habits and narrating a series of events in the past, for
example the story of a film. Recap the phrases for likes and dislikes and justifications.

Content
Introduction of vocabulary using category-linking phrases in the target language.
Put the words of each category TV programme on the board, eg film, reality
programme, quiz show, news. Make sentences, eg ‘Mama Mia’ is a film.
Start by giving your opinions about some TV programmes: ‘I like films, but I don’t
like game-shows, what about you?’ Try this with several members of the class,
then expand it adding in an example to make a sentence like ‘I like films and my
favourite film is Mama Mia, but I don’t like reality TV, especially not Big Brother’
Again, ask the class to do this led by the teacher and then around the class
adding ‘…and what about you, Sally?’ etc, so that there is an element of
‘unexpected participation’ rather than just working with the person next to them.
Hand out a written piece of work about a person who has watched TV the day
before and tells about what he watched giving opinions and justifications. After
reading the text, more able pupils can do an exercise with open questions where
they can use past tense, opinions and justifications. For the less able students
exercises filling in gaps or matching might be used to revise past tenses and
vocabulary used before.

Make a questionnaire that members of the class can complete for 5 students.
Weaker students can keep to questions posed on the questionnaires but more
able students can develop more of a conversation.

Time
10 minutes
5 minutes
Content
Show the class short clips of Dutch TV programmes asking them to guess what
type of programme it might be to consolidate the vocabulary offered at the start
of the lesson. (These same clips could be used the next lesson to recap this
lesson).
Bring the lesson to a close by asking a few students which programmes they like
and dislike (possibly using the clips they just saw) and explaining homework.
Students should write out in full sentences which programmes a few of the
classmates they interviewed liked and disliked, justifying their choices.
