lesson1task3

1 Ok, so what I would like you to do now is get together with the personnext to you so perhaps make a three, and then what you need to do isask the questions to each other and then answer them. It’s a speakingactivity which means that you just need to speak and don’t need to write.

2 Here are some sentences and what I would like you to do with them ishave a look at them and decide if you think that they are right or wrong, Imean not correct and think about them with the person next to you andchange them to make them correct if you think there’s something wrong.

3 What I’m going to do is give you a text to look at and then think aboutthe person who wrote it. Would you think this might have been writtenby a man or a woman?

4 Ok, so I have got a sentence here for you that I would like you to look atbut it’s not correct for the grammar. The words are in the wrong orderand shuffled up and so I want you to unscramble them and then lookthrough the text and see if you can find out where the sentence is.

5 Here are some pictures that I’ve put on the floor. If you could just lookat them and think about what we call them in English with the personsitting next to you. Which words do you know already and which ofthem are difficult for you?

6 Now I’m going to ask you in pairs to stand up and come and pick up andturn over two cards from the floor and hold on to them if they match.

7 I would like you to take out your books from your bag and open themat page 35. If you have a look at the top of the page you will see pairsof sentences cut in half and you need to put them together to make awhole sentence.

8 Ok, so now you can close your books and then what I would like youto do is get yourselves into fours so that you can talk together anddiscuss these questions with each other.

Help with InstructionsRead through the instructions below. They are all too confusing and longfor the students to understand. Change them to make them clearer. Whenyou have finished, watch the lesson again and make a note of whatJonathan says and does.

Level: Pre-Intermediate (A2)

No. Ss: 8

Time: 60 minutes

Main AimTo provide clarification and restricted use of a lexical set of everydayitems, and their associated collective nouns e.g. a bunch of flowers.

Subsidiary AimsTo give Ss the opportunity to practise skimming a text for gist andscanning for specific information;To give Ss the opportunity to practise their speaking skill, in (a) extendedinteraction and (b) to share information.

Assumptions1 Ss are familiar with many of the learner-centred techniques, such as

peer-teaching and S-S checks, which occur in the lesson;2 Ss have done error-correction activities before, so this activity in Stage

6 should not pose problems;3 Some of the lexis in Stage 5 will be familiar to learners;4 Any lexis in Stage 5 which is not familiar will be clarified either by (a) peer-

clarification, or (b) from the list at the bottom of the handout. This willminimise the need for potentially-confusing teacher-fronted clarification.

5 Ss will react well to the visual element of the lesson, as this is (a)motivating, and (b) provides an instant non-verbal context.

Materials1 Kay, Vaughan & Kerr Inside Out Pre-intermediate Students’ Book

(Macmillan 2002);2 Visual aids of the following items: flowers; penknife / Swiss army knife;

scuba diver; torch; massage; jacuzzi; gadgets; jewellery;3 Cards for pelmanism (own); 4 Handouts (own).

Anticipated Problems & Solutions-Classroom Management & Students1 There are two stages where feedback could be difficult to manage:

during the clarification (where learners are presented with a selection ofeveryday items) and in the error correction activity in Stage 6. ■ SOLUTION: Have the answers at the bottom of the (folded) handout, so Ss

can check their own answers. This reduces the need for verbal, whole-class,T-led feedback, which could potentially be time-consuming and confusing.

2 There are four Japanese learners in the group. At times they want to usetheir L1 to carry out tasks, which is (a) not useful in helping them developtheir ability to use English for communication, and (b) is unfair on theother members of the group.■ SOLUTION: To reduce this, I will separate these learners as far as possible.

3 There is a third person shift in some feedback stages, as learners will beasked to comment on their partner’s answers. Ss may produce incorrectverb patterns (e.g. Yui got a watch for your birthday).■ SOLUTION: Elicit peer correction, or provide correct form if necessary.

4 Some of the tasks / activities are procedurally complicated. Learnersmay not be fully clear what is expected of them.■ SOLUTION: Demonstrate and do examples, as necessary.

5 There are a number of mini-stages in the lesson, which could take time to set up.■ SOLUTION: Prepare while learners are carrying out the previous task/activity.

Anticipated Problems & Solutions - LanguageMeaning1 No anticipated problems with meaning – all lexis is clarified and

reinforced visually.Form1 Students may use inappropriate collective noun / noun collocations, e.g.

*a box of flowers■ SOLUTION: Refer them back to the written record in their SB.

Phonology1 There are a number of items in the lesson which may cause problems, due to:

● Silent letters: scissors, knife● Individual sounds: jeans, tissues, bunches● Ellipsis in chocolates, jewellery● Individual sounds, due to spelling / sound differences: biscuits, tissues■ SOLUTION: Model and drill as necessary, until Ss can articulate as

closely as possible2 Learners may have problems with connected speech in phrases such as

When was your birthday? Or What did you get for your birthday?■ SOLUTION: Model and drill as necessary, until Ss produce as

effectively as possible.

monitoringThe role of the teacher when students are actively involved in a task. Teachersdo this to see/hear how students are coping with a task. Often it involveswalking around to listen to students’ conversations but it can also be donesitting down by tuning in and out of conversation. Monitoring also helpsteachers to assess timing and to anticipate how to conduct plenary (wholeclass) feedback.

realia This is the real thing e.g. a teacher can bring in a banana and apple toteach those words.

elicitingA way of motivating and keeping students involved. Instead of tellingstudents something, you can ask them a question, give them a definitionor examples etc. to encourage them to say it instead of you.

flashcardsThese are pictures of different things, people, or places often mountedonto card.

checking instructionsThese are short (often yes/no) questions you ask to make sure thestudents have understood your instructions.

finger highlightingThis is where you use your fingers as a visual way of highlightinglanguage. For example, syllables in a word or contractions.

concept questionsA useful strategy (normally questions) for checking students’understanding of language.

teacher-centred (also known as teacher-fronted) activitiesDuring these stages, the teacher is the centre of attention and mostexchanges go through or to the teacher.

open pairsThis is where two students exchange language across the classroom withthe other students listening.

closed pairsThis is where students work in twos. All students are working at the same time.

modelling languageThis is where you say something to show students how a word ispronounced or how a language item is used in a sentence.

choral drillsThis is where all the students repeat something at the same time. This canhelp them with the pronunciation of a word or longer stretch of language.

highlighting languageThis is what teachers do when they want the students to noticesomething interesting about a word or sentence. It might be thepronunciation of a word, the spelling etc. It might be to correctsomething. Teachers will often use the whiteboard for this.

individual drillsThis is where you ask individual students to repeat something. This canhelp them with the pronunciation of a word or sentence.

feedback stagesThese are stages or parts of a lesson where the teacher might checkanswers, opinions, or language after students have done the activity.

student-centred activitiesThese are activities where the students are all actively engaged and thefocus is off the teacher.

The three terms which do not appear in the film are…realia, fingerhighlighting and open pairs.

1 He creates a rapport by…smiling at the students, using their names. He also personalises thelesson right from the start showing students that he is interested inthem as people. Having a student-centred lesson with a variety offocus and interaction patterns also helps rapport.

2 When giving instructions, Jonathan helps keep them clear by……using short sentences with clear and easy to understand language. …giving students time to process the instruction.…using gestures. …repeating instructions if students have not understood. …checking instructions by asking the students simple yes/no

questions about what they have been asked to do.…doing the first question with the students as an example especially

in the more difficult tasks. …‘chesting’ the material (i.e. holding it up for all to see) and pointing

at it to show where on the page the students should be working. …monitoring at the beginning of the activity to check the students are

doing what they should be doing and then sometimes repeating theinstructions to any student who is having difficulties.

3 To get everyone’s attention, Jonathan….raises his voice slightly…comments on success by saying somethinglike “Ok, that’s good. Thank you. Thank you”. Judicious pauses canalso be used to good effect at these moments. The teacher can thenoften nominate a student to kick start feedback. Some teachers alsoplay background music during an activity and then stop the music toindicate the end of an activity.

4 Jonathan stops an activity when….he hears a few of the students go quiet or they seem to go off thesubject. He also stops an activity when he feels that to spend moretime on it would not help the stage aim e.g. reading for gist.

5 Jonathan monitors by…either sitting in his chair and tuning in and out of different conversations orwalking behind the students. At times he crouches down to listen to whatthey are saying but he doesn’t get involved unless they ask him to or hesees they need help. He also doesn’t make eye contact at times as heknows this will involve him in what should be a student-centred activity.

6 Jonathan sits down…often when giving instructions and conducting feedback. The aim is to focus the activity and attention on the teacher. It means studentsare on his level and it helps him look calm even if he is nervous.

7 He keeps students involved during feedback stages by…not letting the feedback go on too long and by nominating differentstudents. He injects humour and encourages whole sentences when appropriate so that the feedback is seen by students as anopportunity to learn or extend themselves and not just to check answers.

8 When students are reading …he doesn’t walk around as this can be intimidating for students. When students are writing…it is helpful to look over their shoulder to see what they are writing.

9 Tasks in the lesson……talking to a partner about some questions on the board in pairs…a gist task working alone…an error correction task in pairs…a matching sentence-halves task working alone…a discussion task where students are working in

groups of four.…a pelmanism/memory game task where students work in pairs.

10 The teacher ends the lesson smoothly by….conducting feedback on the last activity and then saying “Ok…thankyou. It’s time for us to finish. Thank you all very much and see youtomorrow” He then smiles at the students and moves towards one ortwo as students start to pack up.
