Lesson Unit: Grammar Translation

General Goals:
Students will be able to:
· Identify various Spanish and English vocabulary words.
· Translate Spanish text in to English using bilingual dictionaries.
Specific Objectives:
This grammar translation lesson would be suitable for an ESL class of Spanish students after reversing the language roles, putting emphasis on using the Spanish to learn the English.

Instructional Sequence:
Students will be given a list of vocabulary terms in English and Spanish to read over and memorize.
An extremely brief oral “check” for pronunciation would follow although the grammar translation approach does not focus on oral fluency development.
The student is going to translate a small paragraph from Spanish to English using the vocabulary words.
Assessment Based on Objectives:
Students will be assessed according to their ability to correctly translate the text from one language to another. A quiz, the following day, will assess students’ memorization of vocabulary terms. Informal observations by the teacher will also be used to evaluate the students.
