Do you write full sentences or just the key words? – T monitors, ensuring task comprehension and giving opportunity to listen one more time in case it is needed.
• Share file: “True or False exercise” • Show handout and do an example for Ex.1 with class • Ss do the exercises in pairs (or small groups), then check with class ICQs: Is there only one answer or more than one? Do you need to correct the false sentences?
- Share file: “Shopping around town” - Model the exercise by asking one student to ask the teacher a question. - Ss talk to their partners and take turns asking and answering questions with the target language. - After pair work, group feedback in the main room. - Delayed error correction based on T’s notes (related to TL if possible) ICQs: Is there only one answer here? Is this a real life answer or are you going to imagine something? Do you work alone or with your partner?
