FAQ Planners
PL School 1 (PLS1) means that this is the first year you/your learners use our PowerLanguage Schools planners and resources in class.
If your learners are starting their 2nd or 3rd year using PowerLanguage Schools planners and resources, then switch to PL School 2 (PLS2) or PL School 3 (PLS3), etc.
Our PL School years are divided into 4 Blocks or Terms which each cover about 10 weeks of teaching.
The Blocks follow the timetable of your school year.
Click on “Planners”, then on the language of your choice and finally click on your chosen PLS year, for example “PL School 1”. This will show all the year groups available to you. Click again on your choice of year group and block/term.
You can also click on “PL School 1” and then on “PL School 1 Supporting Documents”, wait for the page to download and scroll down to your chosen year group.
All Resources associated with each planner sit at the bottom of the page, below the “Download full planner” button, and can be filtered by title, type of resource or last updated.
Click on “Planners” then click on the language of your choice and on a PLS year, for example “PL School 1”. Finally, click on the Supporting Documents for that year, in this case “PL School 1 Supporting Documents”. The Overviews, Language recaps and Passports are available to download on that page.
Click on “Planners”, then on your choice of language, and click on the search button. Scroll down to the search box and enter a keyword or the title of a resource in the search box. TIP! Always search for a specific word in its singular form (i.e. search for “colour” rather than “colours”), it will return more results!
You can also refine your search by title, type of resource or last updated.
This is most probably because the resource you’re looking for is in the Responsive Resources section of our website.
Click on the “Resources” section, then click on “Responsive Resources” and on your choice of language, and use the search engine there. If you still cannot find the resource, please contact us.
