RECORDING

1. Give a speaking task as a home entertainment.

2. Let Ss record themselves doing the task with the

help of their mobile phones, sites ( www.vocaroo.com ; etc.)

3. Let them share their audios in class. (Personal exchange is also

possible depending on a group or a goal)

4. Have a feedback session.

DESCRIBING THINGS Ss DON’T KNOW

• Show a thing (or its picture) Ss don’t know the name in English,

but they could guess or create themselves (e.g. coffee maker)

2. Explain its functions in general : “It’s something

you use for making coffee.”

3. Let Ss guess what it could be and ask questions to the teacher.

(pair or group work)

4. Show Ss pictures and let them practice in describing using

“ We thought…”, “In our opinion it was…, but….” etc.

GUESS WHAT (SKETCH & GUESS)

to practise describing pictures in groups.

1. Divide Ss into groups.

2. Give a picture (it could be funny) to one of the Ss.

3. Let the student describe it to students who attempt to draw the picture

together. The student whose picture closely resembles the original will win.

4. Let the Ss discuss the Name of the character or the object given

and describe it and its functions (practicing SWO and CAN/CAN’T, etc.)

GUESS WHAT (SKETCH & GUESS)

THE COMMON ASPECT

4. After a group discussion of what aspects of (eating) they can see,

they choose one to describe in one minute . Each S describes one aspect.

ACTIVE PICTURES

1. Divide the class into two groups.

2. Give a picture to one group. Give time to discuss their acting.

3. The group with the picture acts out in silence.

4. The other group has to understand who/what is in the picture, what is happening in the picture, etc.

PHOTO DESCRIPTION

1. Place (Show) 4 photos on the IWB (TV screen, BB, etc.)

2. Give one of the pictures (in paper) to a student. The others don’t know which one.

3. Two tasks are possible : A) the group asks the students questions to guess which picture he/she has; or B) the students must say some sentences about the picture.

4. The goal is to make the group/student guess the picture

correctly.
