7/ READ AND UNDERSTAND – (STUDENT B)

Procedure:

Each student completes the gapped vocabulary (/1)

Before giving the student or students the sheet, the teacher can ask orally some or much of the vocabluary. Filling in the sheet will reinforce what has been previoulsy learned or half-learned.

Each student is given a sheet with the answers (/2) (the students could compare their answers in pairs previously); .or else the teacher asks the students for the answers they have written.

They could also be asked how the word is spelt to practise the lwtters of the alphabet, and questions about how to spell (How do you spell that?) which are frequent in spoken English, and have an importance far greater than in other languages, given the unusual spelling of the English language.which is generally unpredictable and poorly representative of the pronunciation.

For the dictation, the teacher can read the dictation (/3) to the student or students, who have a copy of the gapped text´(/4).

A copy of the full text (/5) can then be given for the students to correct the work.

Instead of listening to the teacher reading the dictation, the students could read the dictation to each other in pairs (sheets /6 and /7). Or else after the teacher has read the dictation, and the students have corrected the text, thy could do the pair work in addition.

Finally, the students can be asked orally to translate words and phrases from the dictation, or similar phrases (it began to rain > to snow, to thunder, to hail, etc)..
