Teaching Procedures Tips

and make a summary. The T may use the prompt:

summary.

...
Step 2 Presentation & Writing
3a
This activity is to prepare Ss for the subsequent writing
activity by giving them the opportunity to consolidate the
ideas they have gathered so far. Instead of asking Ss to do
this activity individually, the T may get Ss to do this as a
class activity by first asking Ss to brainstorm ideas on best
ways to learn English and why. The T can
write these ideas on the board. Ss can then chose three ways
from the list on the board and fill in their individual charts
in 3a.
Suggested answer:
2. Reading English books If you read English books that are well-
written and show good use of the language, you can learn many
new words and see how they are used. If you like to read, you
can learn English by reading well-known storybooks like Harry
Potter or simplified versions of famous books like Pride and
Prejudice.
3. Watching English movies If you watch English movies, you
can practice listening to natural speech and you can use the
storyline, body language, actions and facial expressions to
improve your understanding. If you like to watch movies,
you can learn English by watching popular movies like Hunger
Games and Kung Fu Panda.
3b
The T make Ss read the expressions in 3b at first and then
finish the writing task. Then the T can invite some Ss to
share their writings and make the assessments.
Suggested answer:
Dear Wenxin,
There are three good ways to learn English. One way is being interested
2in what you are doing. If you are interested in something, your brain will
be more active and you will be more focused. If you like music, I think you
should listen to English songs. If you do this, you will be able to improve
your pronunciation.
It is also a good idea to read English books because well-written books
can teach you many new words and how they are used. You could try to
improve your English by watching English movies. This will help you to
improve your listening and speaking skills and you will have a chance to
listen to natural speech.
I hope these three ways will work well for you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ting
