一、自主学习
1. Pair Work: Talk about school subjects.
1) Demonstrate the task by answering the questions, e.g., My favourite school subject was geography. We used to learn a lot about various countries, and what geographical features they have. The learning approach I used was visual aids. For example, I used a world atlas to find each country.
2) Explain that learning approach is the way a school subject is taught or the means/method somebody uses to learn about a school subject, e.g., note-taking, looking up information, doing projects.
3) In pairs, students ask and answer the questions. Encourage students to give as many examples as they can to support their answers.
4) Share interesting answers with the class.
5) Hold a class vote on how many students selected the same school subject and find out which is the most popular.
2. Listen and complete the Text Builder.
1) Read out loud the Text Builder. Explain any unknown vocabulary.
2) Play the dialogue once for understanding and then play it again for students to complete the sentence frames.
3) Students review their answers in pairs and then as a class.
3. Talk about the way you learn.
1) Students prepare independently to talk about the way they learn. Encourage students to use the vocabulary from the previous activities.
2) Low level students can use the sentence frames in Activity 2. Help these students with vocabulary and sentence structure.
3) Students talk and share their idea in pairs. Encourage students to ask follow-up questions while talking.
4. Listen and complete.
1) Read the sentence frames. Challenge students to work in pairs to think of possible answers for each space.
2) Explain the meaning of the phrasal verb “brush up on something”. Suggest to students to make a literal picture of a person brushing and keeping the dust of something so that it stays fresh and vivid. Point out that most phrasal verbs can be learnt this way, as they lend themselves well to visual interpretation.
3) Play the dialogue once for general understanding and then play it again for students to complete the missing information.
4) Read the text out loud and pause before each space for students to call out the right answer in chorus.
5. Talk about learning goals.
1) Invite students to share any specific learning difficulties they may have with the English language, e.g., difficulty with pronunciation, spelling, and grammar.
2) Students discuss five possible ways to improve their English learning. They could list specific ways or methods for each area of difficulty they noted down.
3) Students present their findings in small groups or with the class. Find out whether there are any specific learning difficulties the majority of students share and how these can be tackled.
