authentic language use
_______________ helps students to practise speaking clearly. Teachers can use this strategy to revise recently learned vocabulary, structures and genre, or to focus student attention on something important such as an overview of the lesson.
The language of the dictated text needs to be familiar to the students. Each student has half of the text. The students sit back to back, or facing each other with their papers out of each other’s sight. They read out their phrases in turn, starting with ‘A’ who reads out the first group of words to ‘B’. ‘B’ then writes down what s/he has heard. Then ‘B’ says the next phrase to ‘A’ and so on. Students can spell out words only after they have tried to get the message across three times.

A _________ is a type of graphic organiser that can be used as a pre-reading activity to encourage prediction skills and build vocabulary. It can be used effectively when students are reading a text beyond their ability to understand completely.
The teacher selects two or three paragraphs that contain an especially large amount of new vocabulary. Five categories are chosen for each of the points on the star. Students sort words from the paragraphs into these semantic categories using prior knowledge, context clues and prediction skills.
This can be done first as an individual activity and then in pairs and/groups.
The benefits of a _______________
* Encourages readers to be willing and accurate guessers and to tolerate ambiguity.
* Can be used as a before and after activity with students revising their concept star after they have read the complete passage and had teacher/peer input.

understand. It can also be used to help explore and clarify ideas. Students are given a short amount of time to give quick reactions, feelings, and ideas in response to prompts. The writing is for personal use and can be brief, informal, and incomplete. After writing, students can share ideas and new learning in pairs and/or groups. ___________ benefits students who are not confident orally as they have time to think and writing enables them to share more easily in pair and group work. Students can also be encouraged to write in their first language.
An alternative form of __________ is for students to choose their own topic to write about, and then they write as much as possible on the topic within a fixed time period (e.g. 10 minutes). This activity is repeated daily. Students add up the number of words they wrote and try to increase the number over words over time. This activity helps to improve writing fluency.
