To set the context the T will show pictures of local game shows and elicit a few ideas, then ask ss directly about other game shows they may know played anywhere in the world. ask what happens on a game show? what prizes people win on game shows? How many game shows are aired on Turkish tv? T will talk about game shows played in the UK ( who wants to be a millionaire) and ask ss if they are familiar with this game show. Ask what the best prize they have seen someone winning on a game show? elicit ideas and write them on the WB.
Instruct ss to work in pairs and write 3-4 sentences about game shows. Sentences such as the following: Which game show do you enjoy watching? What's the best prize you have seen someone winning? Would you like to go on a game show? which one? What prize would you like to win? ICQ: What are we writing about? TV programmes or game shows? Once ss have finished questions very quickly have a WC discussion
Give ss HO and tell them they will listen to a radio programme ex 1. And they have to look at the words which will all appear in the listening exercise in the box and decide what the programme is about. Ask students to look at the words in the box very quickly Elicit their predictions on the WB what they think the radio programme will be about but do not confirm. ICQ: What are we going to listen to? news programme? radio programme. Be prepared to play the CD twice and if ss are sure let them check their answers in pairs.
