Question 2

What is the presentation stage?

Answer 2

Present your key words/ideas/phrases. Usually this is around 10-12 words. When introduce each key word follow a set structure.
1. elicit (search from answer from students)
2. model correct pronunciation (do this 3-4 times, class must silent in order for them to be listening)
3. Choral (class will all say this together, I will walk around them and listen to make sure pronunciation is correct)
4. Random (randomly pick 4-5 children to say the word)
I will then go and write this word on the board. As I add words I will consistently recap the ones already on board.

Answer 3

1. flashcards

3. mime
4. realia (real life objects)
5. multi-media i.e. sounds

Question 4

What is the practice stage?

Answer 4

This is where take 1-2 key words and put into dialogue. Aim for 4 lines of flowing conversation incorporating the key words, but only teach lines 1 and 2 to begin with. Important that have props/characters to teach this so students can visually see how dialogue works.
Teach it following the set stages of Teacher/Teacher, Teacher/Student, Student/Teacher, Student/Student. I will then write it on board with character names, getting the class involved as I do this.
