Now there's an easy way for pupils to communicate in German with other German speakers. German Pen Pals Made Easy contains fill-in-the-gap letters, so even pupils just beginning to learn German can have the satisfaction of being able to communicate effectively in German. For the teacher, German Pen Pals Made Easy does not require fluency and there is little or no preparation required (English translations of the letters are included, as are lists of vocabulary, key grammar points and extension ideas). The activities link with the KS2 Framework for language teaching with inherent cross-curricular links to geography, art and ICT. Pen Pals can be used to supplement, consolidate and revise course work. For the pupil, German Pen Pals Made Easy is easy to follow, realistic (German is being used in real-life communication, not just in an artificial situation). Pupils gain confidence and a positive attitude towards foreign language learning. The book helps facilitate intercultural understanding as the pupil can learn about German culture through a German peer. It is a fun and wonderful way to make a new friend.
