Exposure and highlighting are also taking place during this stage. 1- T splits the ss into teams 2- T hands out the definitions to each team with the vocab cards and gives them the audios using a computer or on pre prepared phones. (T hands certain people on the teams a certain order of definitions. this is based on background and needs awareness) 3- T shows a flashcard (the order of the flashcards shown are based on the background and needs awareness) and starts demonstrating the task by saying :" Step 1. find the definition of this picture. once you find it hit the toy and say the number." 4- Ss read through the definitions and finds the correct definition( if not, T sensitively feedbacks and motivates them to try again) 5- T: " great, now, Step 2. listen to the definition's number on the phone and underline where the stress is on the words you have" (using arousing competition intonation and gestures) 6- T: "Now is it verb or noun" (indicating where they should put verbs and nouns) 7- T: " Step3. get the flashcard, the definition and the stress and put them in the correct places) 8- T: Repeats the previous steps until the task is properly demonstrated" 9- T: " so Step 1, when you see the picture ?......(find the correct definition), and then ?
