Activating prior knowledge and building background in L1 'English' to understand the use of ser/estar in Spanish 'L2'.
This resource, in the form of cognitive scaffolding, although practical for any level is particularly suitable for absolute beginners.
It proposes a route of 5 fixed steps (6 + 1 activities):
- 1st. Identity: I am... (introduce yourself)
- 2nd. Circumstance vs identity: Find the intruder (pastime)
- 3rd. Ser/estar:
- Guess who? (game)
- Dead or alive (grammar reflection) - 4th. & 5th. Characteristic or state? (practice and disambiguation resources)
- Conclusion & aim: Learning to learn ser/estar (on top of a communicative background)
- El docente de E/LE puede traducir/adaptar a la lengua materna (LM) del estudiante/grupo meta este recurso que, a modo de ejemplo de L1 con cópula invariable, aquí presentamos en inglés.
- En Martínez Fernández (2021, pp. 3-4) [v. References] se ofrece una práctica ser/estar (en español) adecuada para todos los niveles ?A1-C2?, docentes y profesionales de E/L2, a partir de este enfoque.
