Procedure (46-65 minutes)
For this stage I have provided some pictures as realia which are related to the subject of our reading to show them and ask if they are aware of their names or anything about it. In this way in addition to pre-teaching the new words and engaging them, I can find out whether they already have information about the text or not (elicit).
Students are going to skim the text which is provided for them in their text book for 5 minutes and the teacher will ask them some related questions to find out they have got the general idea and gist of the text.
After asking the students to reread the text I have provided some handouts which include some sentences related to a number of paragraphs as well as synonyms for some new words. I am going to put them in group of 3 and ask the students to re-read the text and match the proper titles with its paragraph and re-write the sentences which include new word with its given synonym. Finally we will discuss correct answers at the class.
To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language Here the teacher is going to put more focus on stress marks of new words and clarify pronunciation and meaning of important vocabularies.
Students are going to answer to the questions which are presented in their text book and discuss them with the class . The teacher will check the answers and ask some question in order to make sure they have got it.
