Description
The purpose of this activity is to make pupils familiar with loanwords.

The teacher provides the audiocassette and lyrics of the song 'Polyglot' and a five-column table.

Firstly, the pupils listen to the song 'Polyglot' twice, trying to understand its message and the meaning of the words they recognise. The class is given the lyrics the third time they listen to the song. The teacher encourages discussions in order for the pupils to understand the word “polyglot”. The class is now divided into small groups. Every group receives the five-column table with four languages (French, English, Slovene and another known language) and one column with the origin of the word. The groups are asked to copy the transparent words in the first (French) column, and to fill in the rest with translations or descriptions as exemplified on Worksheet 1.
