E7 G - I can speak – English 7
Mini description: You can talk about your experiences, plans, opinions, free time and familiar problems. You use short conversations and small connected talks.
Your language mode: English first → try → context/media → hint → German help if needed. Short sentences, useful chunks, clear models and lots of speaking practice.
Course level: English as a first foreign language, Grade 7, Baden-Württemberg, G-Niveau.
Einleitung
In this aiMOOC, you learn to speak so people can understand you. You do not need a perfect accent. Your message is more important.
You work in a simple cycle: notice → understand → try → use → communicate → feedback → improve → use again.
The people in examples are fictional. You do not need private social-media data. Audio or video recordings are voluntary and should stay private unless you clearly choose otherwise. Do not upload personal recordings to external AI tools without permission.
First try: Watch a short part without subtitles. What is the topic? Which hobbies or likes do you notice? Do not stop for every new word.
I-can-Ziele
- Free time: I can say what I like and do not like.
- Experiences: I can talk about a simple past experience.
- Plans: I can say what I am going to do.
- Opinions: I can give a simple opinion and one reason.
- Conversation: I can ask a question, react and keep a short conversation going.
- Familiar problems: I can describe a simple problem and suggest an idea.
Vorwissen
Try first. Say these chunks aloud:
| Situation | Useful chunk |
|---|---|
| Free time | I like ... / I don't really like ... |
| Past experience | Last weekend, I ... |
| Plan | I'm going to ... |
| Opinion | I think ... because ... |
| Ask back | What about you? |
| Problem | The problem is ... |
| Suggestion | We could ... |
Hint: If you get stuck, use a short repair phrase: Sorry, can you say that again? or What does ... mean?
Deutsch nur bei Bedarf: Du darfst erst nach einem eigenen Versuch gezielt Hilfe nutzen. Übersetze nicht automatisch alles.
Listening and Viewing: Making plans
Before watching: Look at the title. What words may appear? Think of three: birthday, Saturday, meet, time, place ...
First watch – gist only: Who is making plans? What is the main idea?
Second watch – listen for chunks: Tick in your head when you hear language for a suggestion, agreement or time.
After watching: Say one plan with a partner: A: Are you free on Saturday? B: Yes. What shall we do? A: We could ... B: Sounds good.
Hint 1: Listen for stressed words, not every word.
Hint 2: Useful chunks: How about ...? / We could ... / Sounds good.
German help if needed: Konzentriere Dich auf Wer? Was? Wann? Du musst nicht jedes Wort verstehen.
Reading: A short profile
Meet Sam. Sam is 13. Sam likes cycling and drawing. Last Saturday, Sam went to a small skate park with two friends. It was fun, but the weather was cold. This weekend, Sam is going to visit a cousin. Sam thinks weekends are better with friends because you can do things together.
Try: Find one sentence about free time, one about the past, one about a plan and one opinion.
Mini-transfer: Change three facts and make Sam a new fictional person. Do not use private information about a real person.
Wortschatz im Kontext
| Topic | Small word bank | Model |

| Free time | play, meet, watch, read, draw, cycle | I like drawing. |
| Experience | went, saw, played, tried, visited | I visited my cousin. |
| Plan | tomorrow, weekend, later, going to | I'm going to play football. |

| Problem | late, tired, lost, difficult, broken | The problem is my bike is broken. |
| Help | could, should, maybe, let's | Maybe we could walk. |
Notice: Learn chunks, not long word lists.
Aussprache: Clear beats perfect
Your goal is clear speech, not accent-free speech.
Say these rhythm groups slowly, then at normal speed:
| Chunk | Focus |
|---|---|
| I LIKE CYcling. | Stress important words. |
| LAST WEEKend, I VISited my COUsin. | Keep the key words clear. |
| I'm GOing to MEET my FRIENDS. | Do not stress every word. |
| I THINK it's GOOD because it's FUN. | Pause before the reason if needed. |
Try again: Say the same sentence once slowly and once naturally.
Speaking 1: Free time
Model: A: What do you like doing after school? B: I like cycling. It's fun. What about you? A: I like gaming, but I also play basketball.
Your turn: Speak for about 30 seconds. Use three connected sentences.
Writing frame for speaking: In my free time, I ... . I also ... . I like it because ... .
Challenge: Ask one follow-up question.
Speaking 2: Experiences
Model: Last weekend, I went to the park with my friend. We played basketball. It was good because the weather was nice.
Your turn: Speak for about 30–40 seconds about one simple past experience.
Sentence starters: Last weekend ... / First ... / Then ... / It was ... because ...
Hint: Use the simple past for a finished past event. You do not need a long story.
Speaking 3: Plans
Notice: You can often use be going to for plans.
Model: I'm going to meet my friend on Saturday. We're going to play basketball.
Try: Make two weekend plans.
Partner task: A: What are you going to do on Sunday? B: I'm going to ... A: Sounds good. What time?
Hint: Keep the plan simple: person + going to + activity + time.
Speaking 4: Opinions
First watch: Listen for ways to give an opinion.
Your core chunk: I think ... because ...
Model: I think school clubs are useful because you can meet people.
Partner exchange: A: What do you think about school trips? B: I think they are good because they are interesting. What about you? A: I agree. / I don't really agree.
Feedback: Did both speakers give a reason?
Speaking 5: Familiar problems
Situation: Your friend wants to meet you, but your bike is broken.
Try first: A: The problem is my bike is broken. B: We could take the bus. A: Good idea.
Other safe situations: You are late. You cannot find a book. You are tired before training. You forgot an item for school.
Useful chunks: The problem is ... / Maybe we could ... / You could ... / Good idea. / I'm not sure.
Writing: A short message
Write 40–60 words to a fictional friend. Make a plan.
Writing frame: Hi ... Are you free on ...? I'm going to ... We could ... What do you think? See you!
Check: Is the time clear? Is the activity clear? Did you ask a question?
Mediation: Help with the message
Your German-speaking friend says: „Ich kann am Samstag erst nach 15 Uhr. Frag bitte, ob wir uns am Sportplatz treffen können.“
Do not translate every word. Pass on the meaning in simple English.
Try: I'm free after ... . Can we meet ...?
Hint: Keep only the important information.
Funktionale Grammatik
| Job | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Habits and opinions | present simple | I play tennis. I think it's fun. |
| Finished experience | simple past | I visited my cousin. |
| Plans | be going to | I'm going to meet Leo. |
| Suggestions | could | We could go by bus. |
| Reasons | because | I like it because it's exciting. |
Do not overload your speech. One clear tense or chunk is better than a long unclear sentence.
Controlled E-outlook only: Later you may meet the past perfect, for example to show that one past event happened before another. You do not need it for the speaking tasks in this course.
Passive voice and reported speech are not learning goals here.
Feedback and improve
After a speaking task, use this quick check:
| Check | Yes / Not yet |
|---|---|
| My message was understandable. | |
| I used connected sentences. | |
| I gave a reason or detail. | |
| I reacted to my partner. | |
| I used a repair phrase when needed. |
Direct feedback model: One thing that worked: ... / One next step: ...
Then repeat the task once. Change one detail. This is your use again step.
