T: How many children are there?
pp:
T: Where/who are they?
pp:
T: What are they doing?
pp:
T: How would you describe their attitudes towards each other/one another
then the teacher Makes his interaction with his learners drift gradually and smoothly towards the question asked in task one
-Once the teacher is sure that his learners have understood what to do, he allows them just enough time to read the jumbled instructions on how to access e-mail to sequence them correctly. He Provides helps in case the learners meet with vocabulary problems in the instructions.
-The aim behind this task is to ‘teach’ learners to recognise and sequence the main ideas in spoken interaction
- follow the thread of what is being said by concentrating and recognising the key words
- Trains on the learners in this listening strategy with reference to the function of instructing and related language forms and notions (e.g., the imperative and the sequencers).
15 MN
task 2 P17/5
First, the teacher Simulates the spoken interaction (the listening script) on page (i) at the end of the textbook.
The teacher must stress only the key words (e.g., sequencers).since learners will listen to key words in order to pick out the sequencing order of the instructions.
_then the teacher asks the students to sequence the instructions using sequencers:first,then,next,after that and finally
- learners check their answers to the question in task one
- train the learners to speak from notes or memory with reference to the function of instructing and related language forms.
25mn
task4 +5P 5/17
- The teacher has to make the learners build an overall impression of what the listening script will be about before having them listen to it.
-He can ask them about their own opinions concerning the advantages and drawbacks of sending e-mail and ordinary messages.
T: How often do you send messages? Which way of sending messages do you think is better, electronic or ordinary mail?
-The teacher must Encourage learners to use one of the following phrases when they give their opinions: I think/believe/It seems to me (that)… To my mind/In my opinion/ As far as I’m concerned
-the teacher lets the students copy down the table and indicates their opinion by ticking in appropriate boxes.
-then the teacher Simulate the spoken interaction on pages (i) and (ii) at the end of the textbook.
-First, the teacher checks the listening comprehension task i.e., finds out whether learners have picked out the opinions expressed in the spoken interaction.
- Then he interacts with the learners to know whether or not the two informants have the same or differing opinion
- After that he asks them to comment further in order to justify their answers. After that, he personalise the interaction by asking them whether or not they have the same opinion as the informants
TS: Are you of the same mind? Why? How do you feel about it? I think that email is…, but s/he thinks that …)’.
PP: various answers.
-learners listen for specific details of information coming in a spoken interaction involving an interview about the advantages and drawbacks of sending messages by electronic and ordinary mail
-The learners will revise the functions (e.g., comparing, expressing opinion/point of view) and related language forms.
