WHERE THERE
IS A GROUP OF STUDENTS BUT NO TEACHER
*Lessons 1 to 4 are organised
differently
PART A: Reading Text
New words
Each lesson contains new vocabulary. You can learn these new words using
your dictionary. Students in the group can quiz each other on the
spelling and meaning of the new words.
In this part, the
students acquire new vocabulary.
Reading text
(Module 1)
The group
listens to the text and reads along silently once. Students discuss to
establish that all in the group have understood the text. They listen and
read a second time.
In this part, the students learn how the new vocabulary works.
Reading text (Modules 2, 3 and 4)
Students read the text once silently. Students then take turns to
read aloud a paragraph each. After this, the students discuss, in English
or their native language, to establish that all students have understood
the text.
In this part, the student learns how the new vocabulary works.
PART B: Listening Text
New
words
As in Part A.
Conversation
The students listen to the recording without looking at the text.
They discuss the general meaning of the conversation. The students replay
the recording and listen to the text while reading at the same time.
After establishing that all in the group understand the conversation,
students pair up to practice the conversation, taking both parts. This
can be repeated several times until a degree of fluency is attained.
In this part, the student learns speaking skills.
PART C: Comprehension exercise
Students work
on their own or in pairs. Answer the questions on-screen. Click the
“check” box when the exercise is completed. Check your
answers by looking at the example answers. Sometimes a different answer
may also be correct.
PART D: Vocabulary and/or
grammar exercise
The exercises
should be completed in writing and checked. Students help each other with
their specific problems.
PART E: Memorization exercise
Eight or ten
sentences are presented at once. The students read them and make sure
they understand them, if necessary with help from each other. Then the
sentences appear singly. Students memorize the sentence and then
reproduce the sentence in the gaps.
