a worksheet (the second one is the answer sheet) to explore some of the foreign influences on the English language
Something went wrong, please try again later.
Thanks for this but just scanning it I can see already their are errors eg ketchup is Chinese not Indian and tuna is not originally Arabic. Teachers should try to get children to see how the structure/sound of foreign words is identifiable eg the article in Arabic is "al" hence many words/ places beginning with 'al' are arabic in origin eg Algebra and Alicante. Similarly 'beautiful' is tricky to spell because it has a French structure as does 'bureau' and 'entrepreneur'.
A great resource for work on diversity.
Great challenging end of session extension; students sent out to ask native speakers for help....all enjoyed the exercise!
