E9 E - Einen persönlichen Englisch-Lernweg Klasse 9 steuern

Build your own English learning path. Start from what you can already do, use feedback, choose a clear goal, practise with suitable media, review your progress and adapt your next step.

Mini goal: You develop a personal learning path from your competence profile, feedback and educational goal. You collect evidence in a portfolio and use regular Can-do reviews to decide what to practise next.

Einleitung

Your learning path is not a fixed list of exercises. It is a cycle:

Step	Your action
English first	Work with the English message before you translate anything.
Understand	Find the topic, key information, speaker or writer position and purpose.
Respond	React in English with a meaningful answer.
Ask	Ask a precise question when information or language is missing.
Hint	Use only as much support as you need.
Improve	Revise after feedback and explain one important change.
Use again	Transfer the improved language to a new situation.

This course follows important competence areas of English as a first foreign language in Baden-Württemberg: listening/viewing, reading, speaking, writing, mediation, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, language-learning competence and text/media competence. At E level you work with increasing independence, compare perspectives, check sources and produce longer connected contributions.

Rule for this course: Verständlichkeit vor Akzentfreiheit. Clear communication matters more than sounding like a native speaker.

I-can goals

At the end, you can say:

I can describe my current strengths and one priority for improvement.
I can choose suitable English materials and explain why they fit my goal.
I can understand key ideas and relevant details in age-appropriate audio, video and texts.
I can discuss, present and respond spontaneously to follow-up questions.
I can write a coherent, source-aware text and revise it after feedback.
I can use mediation according to purpose and audience instead of translating everything.
I can use a Can-do review and portfolio evidence to plan my next learning step.

Start: know your profile

Create a short starting profile. Use evidence, not only feelings.

Skill	Evidence you can use	Your decision
Listening / Viewing	A recent task, notes from a video, teacher feedback	Keep / improve
Reading	A text with your annotations and summary	Keep / improve
Speaking	A discussion, presentation or voluntary private recording	Keep / improve
Writing	A text before and after revision	Keep / improve
Mediation	A task where you passed on relevant information for a clear purpose	Keep / improve

Portfolio prompt: My current strength is … because … . My priority is … . I will know I have improved when … .

Do not use private social-media data. Use fictional profiles and fictional application data when tasks need personal information. Recordings are voluntary and stay private unless you actively choose otherwise. Do not upload recordings or texts to external AI systems without permission.

Listening and Viewing

Watch for a purpose. First watch for the main idea. Then watch again for useful details. Only after that use subtitles, transcript or another hint.

Active viewing task: Note three study ideas from the video. Choose one idea that could improve your English learning. Explain in 60–90 seconds why it fits your own competence profile.

Challenge: Watch a second age-appropriate English video on the same learning question. Compare the advice. Which points are similar? Which are different? Which claim would you want to check?

Reading and source checking

Do not read every word at the same speed. First scan the title, source, date and structure. Then read for the information you need.

Use this four-step reading move:

Preview: What kind of text is this and who created it?
Read for gist: What is the central message?
Read for evidence: Which details support the main point?
Check: Is the source current, identifiable and suitable for the task?

For research tasks, compare at least two suitable sources. Separate fact, claim, example and opinion. If AI gives you a fact, source or feedback, verify it before you use it.

Context vocabulary

Do not collect long random word lists. Build vocabulary around your current task.

Function	Useful language
Set a goal	My priority is … / I want to become more confident at …
Explain evidence	This shows that … / One example is …
Compare	Both sources suggest … / In contrast …
Qualify	This may be true when … / However, the source does not show …
Ask for clarification	Could you explain what you mean by …?
Revise	I changed … because …

Add only words and chunks that you expect to use again. Write one useful example sentence for each new item.

Pronunciation and fluency

Fluency means keeping communication going with understandable pronunciation, suitable rhythm and useful repair strategies. You do not need to erase your accent.

Try a 30–60–90 second fluency ladder: explain the same idea for 30 seconds, then 60, then 90. In each round, add one example or reason. If you record yourself, keep the recording private unless you choose to share it.

Useful repair language: Let me rephrase that. / What I mean is … / I have not explained that clearly yet. / Could I add one point?

Speaking: discuss, present, react

Use opinion language to move a discussion forward, not to win it.

Discussion target: give a position, support it, refer to another speaker, ask a follow-up question and respond spontaneously.

Useful moves: I see your point, but … / The strongest reason for me is … / What makes you think that? / Could you give an example? / I would partly agree because …

Presentation target: speak for 2–3 minutes with a clear structure, then answer two unprepared follow-up questions.

Writing: argue, use sources, revise

At E level, your writing should connect ideas across paragraphs and make your own line of reasoning visible.

A useful structure is:

Part	Job
Introduction	Define the issue and your focus.
Main point 1	Make a claim, explain it and support it.
Main point 2	Add another perspective or contrast.
Source link	Show which information comes from which source.
Conclusion	Answer the question and show what follows from your reasoning.

Keep your own text. Feedback should help you revise it, not replace it.

Revision pass 1: meaning – Is my position clear and supported? Revision pass 2: structure – Do ideas connect logically? Revision pass 3: language – Can I improve wording, grammar and accuracy? Revision pass 4: source check – Are claims, media and references reliable?

Mediation

Mediation is not full translation. Your job is to select and communicate what another person needs.

Example: A fictional English-speaking exchange student wants to understand a short German school notice. Decide what matters for that person, leave out irrelevant detail and explain the important information in clear English.

Ask yourself: Who needs the information? Why? What must be included? What can be omitted?

Functional grammar

Use grammar to solve communication problems.

Communication need	Grammar focus
Explain present relevance	present perfect and suitable time expressions
Report information	reported speech and reporting verbs
Discuss possibilities	modal verbs and conditionals
Build an argument	linking clauses, contrast and reason
Add precise information	relative clauses

Do not practise every form at once. Choose the grammar point that most improves your current speaking or writing task.

Help levels

Use the lowest help level that lets you continue independently.

Hint 1 – Strategy: Re-read the task. Mark the action word and success criteria.
Hint 2 – Language: Use a phrase bank, model sentence or keyword list.
Hint 3 – Model: Compare your work with a short model and identify one transferable feature.
Hint 4 – Conference: Ask a peer or teacher one precise question.

After using help, return to the task and apply the idea yourself.

Feedback and error analysis

Datei:A model of feedback to enhance learning.pdf

Good feedback leads to a next action. Sort feedback into three questions:

Question	Example
Where am I going?	I need a clearer argument with source support.
How am I doing?	My examples are relevant, but my source links are unclear.
What next?	I will add source references and revise one paragraph.

Create a small error log. Record only recurring errors that matter for communication. Use three columns: my example – improved version – rule or strategy. Then use the improved form in a new sentence.

Can-do review and next learning cycle

At the end of each learning cycle, choose portfolio evidence and review your progress.

Can-do	Not yet	With support	Independently
I can understand the main line of an authentic age-appropriate video.	□	□	□
I can compare two perspectives and refer to evidence.	□	□	□
I can respond to spontaneous questions.	□	□	□
I can write a coherent source-aware argument and revise it.	□	□	□
I can choose my next learning step and explain why.	□	□	□

Your next goal should be specific enough to practise. Replace I want to get better at English with something like: In the next two weeks, I will practise asking follow-up questions in two discussions and collect one piece of evidence from each.

Next course idea: Use your reviewed portfolio to start the next learning cycle with a new transfer task.

Lernnachweis

For a strong learning record, your portfolio should show:

a starting competence profile with evidence
one justified personal learning goal
active work with listening/viewing and reading
context vocabulary used in a real task
at least one discussion or presentation task
one writing product before and after revision
one feedback or error-analysis step
one source or media check
one Can-do review
a justified next learning step

The focus is not on collecting as much material as possible. The focus is on showing a clear learning process: goal → practice → evidence → feedback → improvement → transfer.
