2. STORY TELLING:

Route Map	Instructions
PRE CLASS: Familiarise yourself with the material and activity .Prepare any materials or texts you need.	The material consists only of a story which is going to be told by the teacher.  The task is “real listening” i.e. just listening to the story for pleasure, not because they have to answer questions about it or retell it.
2.IN CLASS: Lead in / prepare for the activity	To set the context for the activity, the T sticks on the blackboard a picture that contains a situation related to the story the T will tell. In this case, in the picture there is a small plane crashed in a jungle and only one girl next to it. T asks SS where it is. She asks students what the girl does there.  The teacher asks SS to name   things that they can find in a jungle, she writes them on the blackboard. The teacher should make sure that a number of useful words are mentioned. The teacher also asks SS what would they do if they were in a situation like this.
3.SET UP THE ACTIVITY	The teacher tells students to relax and only listen to the story she will tell. The teacher tells a story but she doesn’t read it since a told story is more involving than a “read” one.
4. RUN THE ACTIVITY	While reading, the teacher monitors SS. To know if she should continue with the story or go back.
5. CLOSE THE ACTIVITY	Once the teacher has finished with the story, she asks SS if they had enjoyed the story, if it was easy or difficult, the teacher should also help them with expressions or   vocabulary they haven’t understood.
6. POST ACTIVITY: Do any appropriate follow-on work.	The teacher asks SS to write their own opinions about the story.

ASSESSMENT :

 

v      We have not included speaking and listening skills  because  the teacher of the course  told us to include only the vocabulary and grammar contents  of modules 13 and 14.

 

The contents of these 2 units were  :

• Module 13 :

Ø      Lexical items related to “voluntary work”.

Ø      Going to structure.

Ø      Functional language : phone calls.

• Module 14 :

Ø      Lexical items related to “ shopping” .

Ø      “Will” for predictions.

 

v      Note:  It may be relevant  to clarify that when the teacher  finished dealing with module 12, students were delivered a quiz  which included the contents presented in  that module.

 

v      As regards  the assessing of speaking and listening skills,  students have been assessed informally on both.  Speaking was assessed by group discussion and role plays, whereas listening was dealt by tasks for completing with certain  information or choosing the correct option.
