The Swedish national curriculum, Lgr 11 says that it is important to teach students how to write texts in different genres. Especially second languages learners need to be aware of the structure and grammar of different texts by explicit instruction.

Every school year students in grades 7 - 9 at our school practise the irregular verbs in order to automate the use of them both in written and spoken English.

The students work with crimes in different ways. They look up words, learn them, discuss crimes in groups and class, they watch a short film, write an interrogation and a letter, they look up facts on the Internet. They then present their letter written and gives an oral presentation of the chosen criminal or crime.
Aim: Working with this activity the students will learn how to find information on the Internet, they will listen to English and they will use written and spoken English. They will learn new words.

In this project students will work in a subject integrated way. They will enhance their knowledge of an important historical period with the help of a blog-based role play.
Each student will create a character of their own, an avatar, in the city of Rosenheim, situated in the south of Germany. The character will live, act and reflect on events in Rosenheim, in Germany and in the world during the time period of 1919 – 1945. The identity of the writer (the student) will be kept secret from the readers of the blog.

The Swedish national curriculum, Lgr 11, emphasizes the skills on how to use spoken English when interacting with other people.
The students should be given many opportunities to develop the skills to:
• Understand spoken English
• Express themselves and communicate in English
• Use different strategies to make yourself understood
• Adapt the use of English in different situations and for different purposes”
