1 -
WE NEED THE CASSETTE
TAPE OF "I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU" FOR THIS LESSON.
REMIND STUDENTS
TO FILL IN THEIR ATTENDANCE SHEETS
FOR THIS AND EVERY LESSON.
Student's
book page 124: "Learning
Strategy Notes"
| Materials: |
Student
book; (click
here for the student's page). |
| Students: |
Individually |
| Rationale: |
Making notes; organising
learning. |
| Method: |
Note-taking pages occur
regularly in the book. These are to give students opportunity
to make notes of new language, but also to brainstorm, organise
ideas, write scripts, collect data - whatever they need for their
project. The empty pages in the book are therefore important for
learner training, and encourage as well as facilitating note-taking. |

Student's
book pages 125, 126. "Project Schedules"-
Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student's
book
(1) Student's
book
(2) (Click here) |
| Students: |
Whole
Class |
| Rationale: |
Students decide
whether to use the Project Schedule or the Alternative
Schedule |
| Method: |
Discussion, negotiation,
student/student, student/teacher, group/teacher. |
| Notes: |
Students need to
get used to being able to make decisions about what and how they
learn. This is an important time for them (choosing which Project
Schedule to use). In addition to expressing opinions and negotiating
the learning environment, they will be growing as learners. |

"I just called ..." - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click
here) |
| Students: |
Groups or pairs |
| Rationale: |
Listening, cooperative
learning. |
| Method: |
The teacher plays the
tape a number of times and students add what they can to the text
sheet in their books. In Version 1, students can make their
own additions, asking classmates for help. In Version 2,
students sit in circles and pass their books to the right at the
end of each playing of the song, adding to the texts of their
classmates and achieving a "group" text. The full text of
the song is on page 189, at the end of the students' book and
students are also referred to an Internet site on which they can
access texts of many popular songs. |
| Notes: |
This page in the student
book is left almost completely blank, to encourage listening for
meaning. After a couple of playings it can be useful to ask a
student to take care of the cassette player, and to ask the others
to give directions (as in the "Rewind!" activity in Project 5,
"Job Applications"). |

128. "Brainstorming" - Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student
book, Business Cards (Teachers' Resource 1)
(Teachers' Resource 2) |
| Students: |
Groups or pairs |
| Rationale: |
Establishing a "Commercials"
schema. Students access their own knowledge of vocabulary, and
start thinking about what is involved in a "Commercials" Project. |
| Method: |
Students think of and
write down any words that they associate with the topic. |
| Notes: |
Students will be familiar
with Korean commercials and might want to write down words they
associate with those. The aim is to spark off ideas, so thinking
about what comes to mind (even in Korean) is all part of this.
There is no need to translate into English at this stage. The
homework will introduce a number of English-language |
Student's book, page 128. "Listen
to Commercials" Homework:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click here);
Internet access. |
| Students: |
Singly or in pairs |
| Rationale: |
Listening; introducing
some English language commercials. |
| Method: |
Students go to a recommended
Internet site (see students' book) and listen to various English-speaking
commercials. They should listen to as many as they wish and use
these to add extra words to the Brainstorming activity sheet in
their books. |
| Notes: |
The humor and cultural
aspects of these commercials can be confusing for the students,
but this can be an interesting listening exercise. At the very
least, students can listen for key words and ideas. "How does
this Ad try to make me buy the product?" "What idea is it using?"
(Theme-song, success, sport, money, youth, beauty, romance). |
Next Lesson:
Students will be trading and negotiating, so it will be helpful if they
BRING AN OBJECT TO TRADE FOR NEXT LESSON.

Student's book, page
129. "Gifts" - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click here) |
| Students: |
Groups. |
| Rationale: |
Ice-breaker; TPR (Total
Physical Response); attention to the qualities of a product. |
| Method: |
Students stand in a circle
and the teacher gives one of them and invisible gift. Body language
and gestures can indicate the size, weight and nature of the gift,
and students have to replicate these as they pass the gift on.
The aim here is to focus attention on the intrinsic nature of
an object which might become the subject of a TV Ad, so students
can be encouraged to think about related questions as they pass
the gift(s) around the circle: "What does it look like?" "What
does it feel like?" "How heavy is it?" "How big is it?" |
| Notes: |
TV Ads often concentrate
what an object "Looks like", but this activity helps students
to look at other aspects. The physical nature of the activity
might also give them some ideas about their own TV Ad later on. |

Negotiate" - Project-work:

"My Role" - Homework:
| Materials: |
Student's
book |
| Students: |
Pairs or groups |
| Rationale: |
Note-taking, reflection,
planning, goal-setting. |
| Method: |
This encourages students
to think about the Project. "What will I do?" "Who will perform
which parts of the Project?" "What do I need to prepare?" Students
are asked to think about their own contributions and to start
preparing for the Project. |

Teacher's
Notes
- Lesson 3 -
REMIND STUDENTS TO FILL IN "MY ATTENDANCE SHEET" (STUDY
BANK)
FOR THIS LESSON AND THE
NEXT LESSON.
WE NEED "SLOGAN CARDS" AND
"PRODUCT CARDS" FOR THIS LESSON
Student's book, pages
131-132. "Ad Crossword" - Warm-up:
Student's book, page 133.
"Slogan Match" - Project-work:
| Materials: |
Students'
book, Adverb cards (Teachers' Resource
1) (Teachers' Resource
2) (Teachers' Resource
3) (Teachers' Resource
4) |
| Students: |
Pairs |
| Rationale: |
Matching; listening;
inferring; key words and ideas. |
| Method: |
The teacher gives each
students a Slogan card and a Product card. In Stage 1 the
student writes the Slogan in his/her book in Box 1 and the Product
in Box 2 and returns the cards to the teacher. In Stage 2 students
move around the classroom and ask about each other's Slogans and
Products, trying to find their respective matches. |
| Notes: |
Students will not know
many of the Slogans (and Products) so there will be a good deal
of inference going on. It can be a good idea therefore to encourage
students to look for "probable" matches rather than thinking in
terms of "correct" and "incorrect". Ideas in these Slogans should
help to spark similar ideas in the students when making their
own Slogans (follow-up). |
Student's
book, pages 133 - 139. "SILL"
- Homework:
| Materials: |
Student
book (SILL in Korean) Teacher's
Resource (SILL in English) |
| Students: |
Singly |
| Rationale: |
Self-evaluation of learning
strategies. |
| Method: |
Students complete the
Strategy Inventory for Language Learning in their books (Korean
Version) and make a "learning profile" detailing their preferred
learning strategies. This can then be discussed in the Mid-term
Evaluation Session. |
| Notes: |
The SILL
not only identifies preferred learning strategies (encouraging
self-assessment of the effectiveness of these), but brings others
to the attention of the student. This can be a useful source of
discussion in the Mid-term Evaluation Session, in which either
the teacher can make suggestions, or the student can ask questions
relating to effective learning methods. The English version of
the SILL is in the Teachers' Resources.¡¡ |
