ACTIVITY 1
As this module deals with group work, it is essential to get this right from the start. So go through the process of group work, almost in slow motion, so that they understand the dynamics FULLY. THEN put what you have taught them into practice with the next exercises and consolidate what you have told them about group work.
ACTIVITY 2
Here the essence is confidence in communication and class discipline – also group work. While someone is busy in the front of the class, the rest of the class should pay attention and respect his right to speak. So, disturbances go against the grain of group work. THIS should be understood.
ACTIVITY 3
Charades is always fun, as it allows learners to speak English freely and you can make sure that the learners understand where the break comes in syllables and so gain extra information. This helps with hyphenating words correctly.
ACTIVITY 4
Learners need to know how to read correctly and how to skim-read.
ACTIVITY 5
Let them do this as a language test. They should be familiar with the passage!
They should be encouraged to SEE HOW to answer questions – these skills are useful in an examination e.g. to give a full answer etc.
They should realize the difference between words and phrases, as they occur.
They should look for other mnemonics and share them among the learners in the class.
