IN THIS
LESSON WE
NEED "BUSINESS
CARDS" (1) "BUSINESS CARDS" (2)
(TEACHER'S
RESOURCE)
REMIND STUDENTS
TO FILL IN THEIR ATTENDANCE SHEETS
FOR THIS AND EVERY LESSON.
Student's
book page 108: "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 109, 110. "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. |

book page 110.
"The Line" - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click
here) |
| Students: |
Groups or pairs |
| Rationale: |
Ice-breaker; introduction
to requesting and providing personal information. |
| Method: |
Students line up
in the classroom, or in the corridor, according to age. While
asking about age and date of birth (and using numbers to answer
these questions), students should use English. Follow-ups (either
in this lesson, or another time) can use Student ID numbers,
number of family members, etc. |
| Notes: |
This activity can be a
useful warm-up before any lesson. The space can be made smaller/bigger,
and the categories varied each time. |

book page 110.
"I am you" - Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student
book, Business Cards (Teachers' Resource 1)
(Teachers' Resource 2) |
| Students: |
Pairs |
| Rationale: |
Asking for and responding
with Personal Information. |
| Method: |
Stage
1: Students
fill in Business Cards (Teachers' Resource) with their own details.
Stage 2: They then (in pairs) ask each other about those
details. Students should also ask about things such as family
members, lifestyles and hobbies.
Stage 3: Students exchange business cards, and find new
partners.
Stage 4: Students take on the identity of the business
card they are holding (they should have learned as much as possible
about the person concerned) and repeat Stage 2 (asking and responding
to Personal Information questions).
Stage 5: Students exchange business cards. This sequence
continues until the teacher wishes to stop the activity. At that
time, students should find the person who "owns" the
business card that they are currently holding, and find out how
much of the information they know about that person is correct.
|
| Notes: |
This is an interesting
activity, but can be difficult the first time around. It can therefore
be good to use it again (once students are familiar with the format),
perhaps with students in another class. |
Student's book page 111.
"Please fill this in" - Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click here) |
| Students: |
Pairs |
| Rationale: |
Filling in application-forms
with Personal Information. |
| Method: |
Students exchange books
and ask and respond about Personal Information. The information
about each student therefore goes into his/her own book |
| Notes: |
For follow-ups, teachers
can try to find various official forms, and ask students to fill
these in (one asking, one answering). For example, it might be
possible to find Bank-account forms, Visa application forms, University
entrance application forms and English examination application
forms on the Internet! |
Student's
book page 112. "Computer Resume" - Homework:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click here);
computer (access to the Internet). |
| Students: |
Pairs or singly. |
| Rationale: |
Accessing information
from the Internet; researching the format of resumés; skimming
for information; making an individual resumé. |
| Method: |
Method:
Students access a web-page mentioned in their book. This provides
16 sample resumés. Students visit the samples, and check
off in their books the items that each contain. In a suggested
follow-up, students can visit sites which produce resumés
automatically when the information is inputted by the student. |
| Notes: |
The aim here is simply
to call attention to the make-up of a resumé, but the on-line
resumé generators are also a valuable tool for the students. |
- Lesson
2 -
IN THIS LESSON WE
NEED THE "ADVERB CARDS" (TEACHER'S RESOURCE).
REMIND STUDENTS
TO FILL IN THEIR ATTENDANCE SHEETS
FOR THIS AND EVERY LESSON.
Student's
book page 113. "Match the Adverb" - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
book (Click here) "Study
Bank" (Click here); Adverb cards (Teacher's
Resource). |
| Students: |
Groups. |
| Rationale: |
Interviews require the
ability to describe personal qualities. Students therefore review
adverbs and make notes of new words. |
| Method: |
Students play "Match"
with English and Korean versions of the adverbs (see the Study
Bank and the Dictionary). Various versions of this activity can
be created, continuing as long as the students find it useful. |
| Notes: |
Directions in the student
book ask students to write on the cards and to note "new"
words in their "My notes" page at the end of the Chapter.
This is a useful habit to get started - using the blank sheets
at the end of each Chapter for note-making and taking. |
Student's
book page 113 ."Just do it!" - Warm-up:
| Materials:
|
Student
book (Study Bank); Adverb
cards (Teachers'
Resource). |
| Students: |
Groups, pairs. |
| Rationale: |
Further review of adverbs. |
| Method: |
One student chooses a
card. Other students tell him/her to do something ("Open
the door" etc). The student then performs the action in the
manner of the word on the card. Other students have to guess the
word. |
| Notes: |
It is worth spending some
time on adverbs and "qualities", since these can be
difficult for the students, but are useful items of vocabulary.
|
Student's book pages 114-6.
"Qualities" - Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student's
book (1), Student's book
(2), Student's book (3). |
| Students: |
Pairs or groups |
| Rationale: |
Preparing for Interviews,
this activity reinforces (and perhaps introduces) a number of
useful "personal quality" words. |
| Method: |
Content is introduced
in the form of a cooperative crossword. Students first match given
clues to the actual words, in the first two crosswords. On the
third page they then explain the words to each other (referring
to those clues and to the dictionary if they wish). |

Student's
book page 117. "Job-brainstorm" - Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student
book (click here). |
| Students: |
Pairs or groups |
| Rationale: |
Preparing for Interviews,
this activity asks students to think about the job-application
process and to identify ideas and words. |
| Method: |
Students brainstorm about
the job-application process. When finished, one student from each
group writes the words on the board, while the others dictate
(shout) them.. |

"Interview
questions" - Homework:
| Materials: |
Student
book; Computer; Internet connection. |
| Students: |
Singly or Pairs |
| Rationale: |
Accessing information
and reference materials from the Internet. Computer skills. English
on the Internet. |
| Method: |
Students go to a page
on the Internet (see students' book) and browse links to various
"Interview" pages. They then find suitable Interview
Questions on these pages, and print out the ones they want. Finally,
they bring these questions to the next lesson. |

Teacher's
Notes
- Lesson 3 -
REMIND STUDENTS TO FILL IN "MY ATTENDANCE SHEET" (STUDY
BANK)
FOR THIS LESSON AND THE
NEXT LESSON.
IN THIS LESSON WE NEED
THE "ADVERB CARDS" (TEACHER'S RESOURCE).
Student's
book page 113."My
sister's dog" - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
Books. (Click here). |
| Students: |
Pairs or groups |
| Rationale: |
Further reinforcement
of "personal qualities" words (adjectives).
: |
| Method: |
This is a chain-memory
game. Students each add a quality about the dog, repeating all
the ones that have gone before:
 |
Student 1: "My sister's dog is a happy dog."
|
 |
Student 2: "My sister's dog is a happy, intelligent
dog."
|
 |
Student 3:
"My sister's dog is a happy, intelligent,
gentle dog."
|
 |
Student 4:
"My sister's dog is a happy, intelligent,
gentle, ... ... ... ... ... dog."
|
|
| Notes: |
This activity is on the
same page in the Student Book as other Warm-up activities from
Lesson 2). Students can refer to the Study Bank at
the back of the book for various adjectives which can be used
in this activity. The Study Bank can be used at any time, and
should be seen as a mini-resource which can be added to by the
students |
Student's book page 113."Let's shake!" - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Students'
book, Adverb cards (Teachers' Resource) |
| Students: |
Pairs |
| Rationale: |
Non-verbal communication;
body language. |
| Method: |
The teacher gives each student
an Adverb card as they come into the room.
In Stage 1, Students find a partner. They then
shake hands in the manner of the adverb (enthusiastically, happily,
weakly, etc), and try to guess their partner's adverb.
In Stage 2, students find a new partner and shake
hands again, once more trying to guess their partner. This activity
is also on the same page in the Student Book as other Warm-up
activities from Lesson 2. If possible, each student should shake
hands with every other student. Adverbs that cannot be guessed
by one partner need to be explained by the other before moving
on. Either students can decide when to find a new partner, or
the teacher can call Time at intervals. |
| Notes: |
"Feelings" words: quiet, quick,
angry. sad, cool, happy, nervous, unhappy, loving, generous, intelligent,
stupid, careful, slow, respectful, weary, sick, healthy, friendly,
gentle, noisy, anxious, kind, stupid, calm, weary, careful, confident,
weak, methodical, honest, ambitious, hard-working, lively, optimistic,
lazy, strong, stubborn, talented, smart, relaxed, amusing, intelligent,
sad, sensitive. |
Student's
book page 118.
"Values" - Project activity:
| Materials: |
Student book |
| Students: |
Individuals then Groups |
| Rationale: |
Surveying opinions. Discussion
on values. |
| Method: |
Students interview each other about
the topics listed on the pages and then discuss these in groups.
As a follow up to earlier work on defining long-term and short-term
goals, this activity can help to focus that topic in the context
of interview skills. The sort of questions on the questionnaire
are common in interviews, so it can be useful for students to
talk about them, prior to trying their own Interview session |

tape (Audio/Visual library) and listen to it, filling in the cloze
exercise in their books. |
| Notes: |
Notes Listening is an important
part of Interviewing that students typically find difficult, particularly
without the help of gestures and other body language. |
