Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Warming up
| | - T can create different situations to help Ss review how to accept or decline an invitation.
| | Step 2 Presentation & Practice
| | - T may want to have Ss close their textbooks and listen to the recording before they look at instructions for activity 2a. Ss should try to identify the name of the person being invited in each conversation. Ss can first check their answers with a partner and then open their textbooks to see if their answers were correct. Thereafter, Ss can be instructed to circle the correct word (can or can’t), and the recording can be played again if necessary.
- Answers: circled: 1. can’t 2. can 3. can’t 4. can’t 5. can
- Play the recording again. Ask Ss to complete the chart.
- Ss sometimes become too accustomed to taking notes and cannot remember what was said without checking their notes. In activity 2b, T may want to encourage Ss to listen carefully without taking notes. This approach can help Ss develop the skill of thinking in English.
| | | - He might have to meet his friend.
| | | | - She must study for a math test.
|
- If there is enough time, T can ask Ss to make a report based on the chart.
- Pair up, student A needs to invite his / her partner to do something. Students B needs to say “no” and give more reasons.
- Before Ss start activity 2c, T may want to first elicit from Ss various examples of “saying no” and write these examples on the board in order to make it easier for Ss to do the activity.
- Ask each S to find a different partner. Student A invites student B to do something fun together, student B needs to think about something reasons and decline the invitation.
| | Step 3 Presentation & Reading
| | - Ask Ss to role-play the conversation, then answer the questions:
- 1. Can Nick go to Jeff’s house on Saturday?
- 3. Will the friends meet at last?
- Divide Ss into several groups, ask each group to make a summary about how to communicate with others politely. Tell each group that they can write down their conclusions on a piece of paper. After all the groups have finished, T can ask the groups to exchange their papers and share.
