, Y7 (Beginner)

This is a Y7 activity I call guided translation. Students are given an English text, followed by a partly completed parallel translation. Topic: my family. Students must fill the missing parts. I have a few of these on ther Y7 page. Level A1. Students could just have a go on their own, or you could go through it with them as they complete it. With really fast groups or older groups, you could add gaps to the English version so it becomes a "parallel gapped translation".
