Vowels and Letter Combinations – Los vocales y las combinaciones de letras – Lesson 3

Description

In this video lesson, student PDF, and auto-graded Google forms quiz, your students will learn pronunciations of vowels and various letter combinations. A FREE, short introduction video, in English, sets the stage for your students as they prepare to learn these basic pronunciation skills in Spanish. Then it’s off to the instructional video, which will present the phrases in Spanish and offer opportunities for practice and repetition. For access to the videos only, click here. You may note that I take a comprehensible input approach in this and other lessons.

Next comes the student pdf, which recaps the content and skills presented and includes tips for pronunciation. Students further solidify their knowledge by completing a Mastery Track Activity, also included in the pdf. Finally, the included google form question will allow the student (and you!) to reflect on their efforts. Because correct pronunciation takes time, there is not a quiz attached to this beginning lesson. Rather, the Mastery Track Activity is one that should be performed over and over to achieve success.
