Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Lead in
The T can present some pictures and introduce the importance
of
English and how useful this subject is! The T may use the
prompts:
Lots of people are learning English.
Why?
The T can choose several Ss to talk about the advantages of
learning English well. The T can use some picture as prompts.
The T can make Ss to talk about these questions as a lead-in:
How do you learn English?
Is it difficult for you to learn English?
1What things are difficult for you?
What can we do in face of these difficulties?
Step 2 Presentation & Practice
1a
Ss finish the task in 1a according to their own studying facts.
Then
talk about the problems with their partners. They can try to
give advice to each other.
1b
Ss finish the task in 1b . Then the T can invite some Ss to
share their problems with class and give advice to help solve
their problems. For example:
S1: I can’t pronounce some of the words.
T: Well, some English words can be really difficult to read. You
could
ask your classmates or me for help. Another good way is by
listening
to a tape at home and often repeating the difficult words and
sentences.
(Note: The T’s words can be the same with the words which
will appear in the following listening tasks so that the
following tasks will be easier for some Ss. )
Suggested answers: I can’t understand English movies.
I want to read English books but I don’t know what
to read.
I don’t understand native speakers of English.
I’m nervous when I try to speak English
When I read an English book, I have to keep looking up
unfamiliar words in my dictionary and it’s not fun.
Then the T can answer less and invite some good English
learners in class to give advice for the problems so that every
student can be involved in the task.

according to the challenges listed in 1c. At the same time ,
the T can provide some related expressions on the board for

stages.
Stage1: 1. Invite two Ss to read aloud the given conversation.
2. Have Ss role-play in pairs using information in 1c and 1d.
Stage2: 1. Ask each pair to join another pair to form groups of
four..
2.This time, Ss are to role-play similar conversations

Reflection learning.The teacher should get the students to practice the target language
