Teacher's Notes
- Lesson 6 -

REMIND STUDENTS TO FILL IN THEIR ATTENDANCE SHEETS 
FOR THIS AND EVERY LESSON.

Student's book page 82. "Performance" - Project-work:

Materials: Student's book (Click here);
Students: Groups
Rationale: Project performance.
Method: Students perform whatever they have prepared. They also evaluate their own and the other groups' performances. All students should be able to perform something by this stage of the course, even if it is based on the Alternative Schedule
Notes: It can be productive to video the Presentations and to play them back (edited versions) at another time. Students then gain confidence from seeing something that they have produced, as well as thinking about what could have been done better.

Student's book page 81. "Cassette Journal" ? Homework:

Materials: Student's book  (Click here); Cassette tape;
Students: Individuals or pairs.
Rationale: Self-assessment; ongoing personal record.
Method:    Students expand their Cassette Journals by recording their own input to the Presentation.
Notes: Each student will say part of a Presentation when it is performed and will therefore have something to record. This speech, however short, should also have a structure, even though it is a sub-section of the whole. The activity should help students to rehearse their parts, as well as adding to the record of their ongoing development in spoken English..

Student's book pages 78, 79. "Beliefs About Language Learning" (BALLI) ?Homework:

Materials: Student book (1) Student book (2) (click here to see the student page);

Version 3: The questionnaire can be used for the activity "Let's Make a Survey" and the data collated for the Presentation.
