Abc Worksheet 2.B Prediction Based on Key Words

Main Aims

  • To develop students' listening skills for specific information and detail recognition in the context of emotional dissemblance.
  • To expand students’ vocabulary and understanding related to expressing and concealing emotions.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To improve students' inferential listening skills through predictive activities based on key words and context.
  • To enhance students' speaking and interaction skills through post-listening activities like discussions and role-plays.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (15-18 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Divide the students into groups of three. Hand out the worksheet to the students. This worksheet should contain adjectives at the top of a box and images of a monster figure with different feelings. Ask the students to go through the vocabulary on the worksheet. Instruct them to check the dictionary for the meaning and pronunciation of the vocabulary words. Time the activity for 10 minutes. During this time, the students should match these words with the emojis on the worksheet. Once they are done, project the answer key on the board. Ask the students to compare their answers with the ones on the board. Initiate a discussion on whether they agree if that emoji means or projects that feeling. Ask them if they disagree with any of the matches. Finally, go through the feedback from the students.

Prediction based on keywords. (8-10 minutes) • The aim of the "Prediction Based on Key Words" stage is to activate students' prior knowledge and set a purposeful context for listening, enhancing engagement and comprehension.

Presentation to Students: Write the following words on the board or present them on a slide: Emotions Adults Children Strategies Social Scientists Group Discussion: Divide the class into small groups. Ask each group to discuss what they think the listening will be about based on these words. Encourage them to consider: How these words might be connected. What kind of situations or contexts could involve these elements? Any personal experiences or knowledge they have related to these terms. Sharing Predictions: After a few minutes of discussion, ask each group to share their predictions with the class.

Pre-Listening (10-15 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Prepare students for the listening part of the lesson. Ask students to scan the QR code available to them to enter the quizzes website. Once they enter the website, they should start playing the game. Provide additional instructions if necessary. Time the activity for 5-6 minutes. During this time, students will engage with the game, which involves about nine words displayed in a multiple-choice format. In the game, students will see the definition, the word, and the word used in the context of an example. They should choose the right answer based on these clues. After they are done, check their responses. If they miss any vocabulary, you can identify it. Finally, give them feedback on the projector screen.

While-Listening #1 (15-17 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information listening tasks

Group Formation: Put the students in groups of three. Question Formulation: Before listening, ask each group to work together to write three questions that they think the speaker will address about the main topic. Timing: Give them 5 minutes for this activity. Listening and Note-taking: Play the audio. Ask them to take notes during the listening and answer the question: “Did the audio directly address your question?” If not, they should identify the main topics. Discussion: After the listening, let them discuss the questions they have formulated and the notes they have taken with their partners. Feedback: Ask some groups for their feedback.

While-Listening #2 (15-17 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference listening tasks

Ask your students to listen again to the audio. Tell them that they are going to identify true and false statements. Display a QR code of the Wordwall website for the students. Ask your students to scan the QR code and navigate to the website. Once on the website, instruct them to start choosing the right sentences and label them as true or false, according to their notes. Checking Answers: At the end, check with the students to make sure that everybody knows which sentences are true and which sentences are false.

Post-Listening (12-15 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Divide into Groups: Split the class into small groups of 3-4 students. Scenario Assignment: Assign each group a specific scenario where characters have to disguise their true emotions. Scenarios can be based on everyday situations like a surprise party, a job interview, receiving unexpected news, etc. Role Assignment and Preparation: Within each group, students decide who will play which role. Give them time to discuss how they will use the strategies of emotional dissemblance (minimization, maximization, masking, substitution) in their roles. Performance: Each group performs their short role-play in front of the class. Encourage the use of the vocabulary and concepts discussed during the lesson. Feedback and Discussion: After each performance, have a brief class discussion. Ask other students to identify the emotional dissemblance strategies used in the role-play. Discuss how effectively the emotions were disguised and what cues gave away the true feelings.
