Extra practice Methodology Builder 10: Flashcards 1 – the essentials,  page 37 Use flashcards to practise the words in exercise 1. You need to find a fairly large (magazine) picture of a busy city and one of a quiet village. Hold up your picture of a city. Say: It’s big. Spread your arms to show the meaning of the word. Ask students to repeat after you as a class. Then nominate two or three individuals to repeat. Point to the village and say: It’s small. Push your arms towards each other to mime the meaning. Ask students to repeat. Do the same with all the words. And try to mime the meaning, eg screw up your face and cover your ears to show noisy; put your finger to your lips for quiet; smile and do a thumbs up for lovely. Once students have listened and repeated, point to pictures and nominate individuals to give you a sentence, eg point to the picture of the city and nominate a student. The student must say: eg It’s new and it’s noisy. End the practice by putting the pictures on the board and asking students in pairs to point to and describe the pictures. When doing this sort of controlled practice, be strict on pronunciation. In particular, make sure students pronounce quiet /ˈkwaɪət/ as two syllables, and watch out for the pronunciation of /ɔɪ/ in noisy and /ɔː/ in small. 2 1.46 Ask students to read the text in the speech bubble carefully first before you play the recording. Students listen to the recording and underline the words that they hear. They can compare their answers with a partner before you check with the whole class. See underlined answers in the audioscript below. 1.46 I live in a small flat on Herbert Street. It’s in the centre of Dublin. It’s a lovely flat, but the street is noisy. I like it. 3 Methodology Builder 7: Accurate speaking & fluent  speaking, page 20 Ask students to look at the gapped text in the speech bubble. Model the activity by saying a sentence to describe where you live. Pairwork. Put students into pairs. Give them a moment or two to think what they are going to say. Then ask the pairs to tell each other about where they live. Monitor and check that students are producing (reasonably) accurate sentences. Ask two or three individuals to tell the class where they live in feedback. Ask students to write sentences to describe where they live in their exercise book. Extra task Ask students to imagine they are millionaires and live in a dream house. Ask them to write a sentence then read it for the class, eg I live in a big house on Tropical Beach. It’s in Barbados. It’s a lovely house. I like it.

Point to one of them and say: This is my home. It’s a flat. Then describe the flat in simple terms: It’s an old flat. It’s in England. It’s near the city centre. It’s small. There is a balcony. It has two bedrooms. It’s beautiful. I like it. Now say: This is your home. Nominate a student to describe it, using any language that they have. It’s fine if they only have one or two sentences to offer. Ask one or two other students to describe their home. Then put students in pairs to describe their homes. Alternatively, take in some magazine pictures of different types of housing for students to describe. Pre-teach key vocabulary: swap Go round the class, saying, eg Can I swap my pen/book for your pencil/mobile? Make a few swaps with students in the class. Then elicit what swap means. Ask: What things do you swap with friends? Language notes Swap means to exchange one thing for another with somebody. It is usually used with small, simple exchanges rather than swapping houses. Common collocations: swap seats, swap places, swap stories, swap clothes. Houseswap means you give someone your house for the holidays, and they give you their house.

Methodology Builder 10Flashcards 1: the essentials

• Flashcards are pictures (or sometimes words written in large letters) that you can hold up and show to the class or pass around for a variety of activities. If you regularly teach lower level classes, one of the most useful ways of investing your preparation time is in building up your own personal stock of flashcards. If you choose pictures carefully and prepare the cards well, they will go on being useful to you for years to come.

• Scour glossy magazines for good pictures. Alternatively, you can draw simple images yourself, or persuade an artistic friend to draw a few for you!

• If you teach a largish class, you need to choose pictures big enough to be easily seen even at the back of class. Anything smaller than half an A4 page will be too small.

• A good basic set of flashcards will include: 1 striking different faces showing people of different

ages, backgrounds, etc.2 people doing different things: work, relaxing, sports,

etc.3 everyday objects 4 landscapes and city views

• Don’t try to build a whole set of flashcards in one go. Allow it grow slowly alongside your teaching work.

• It is vital that you maintain your pictures in good condition. Magazine pages tear and fall apart very easily. If you hope to get a few years’ use out of them, spend a little time on ways of mounting them: 1 if you have the opportunity, laminate your pictures,

ie encase them in a plastic envelope.2 as an alternative to laminating, put pictures into

A4 transparent file pouches (pochettes). This has the advantage of allowing you to store them in a standard ring binder file.

3 a third alternative is to glue pictures onto a cardboard backing. This has the advantage of preserving their life a little longer than otherwise – but the pictures tend to look a little more wrinkled.

• When you have a set of flashcards, they can be used in a variety of ways to spice up your lessons.

Methodology Builder 11Flashcards 2: presenting vocabulary

• Instead of using Student’s Book illustrations to introduce vocabulary, try using your flashcards to do a books-closed presentation.

• The simplest way is to stand at the front of the class, hold up a card, eg a picture of two eggs, and invite students to name the object(s) shown. If they can’t produce the word, you can model it yourself.

• You could say the item once clearly in a sentence, eg TheQueen’s standingonthebalcony. Then isolate the word and say it clearly two or three times, eg balcony…balcony. Try to leave a longish pause between each time you say the word – allow time for the word to ‘echo’ in students’ minds before they hear it again. If you repeat too quickly, each new hearing simply drowns out the one before. Also, don’t repeat too many times – three or four is sufficient. If you do it more, students may relax and not pay the attention that is needed.

• Now get students to repeat the word. First of all, gesture to get the whole class to repeat the word, two or three times – then gesture to ask individuals to say it one by one with feedback.

Methodology Builder 12Flashcards 3: more ways of presenting vocabulary

• Here are two different ideas for introducing or revising vocabulary using flashcards.

Picture lists • Collect a set of flashcards that show the words you

want to teach. Write the list of words in a column on the left-hand side of a piece of paper and photocopy it or write it on the board for students to copy.

• Now distribute the flashcards randomly around the room. Each pair of students gets one card. Pairs must decide which word they think the picture shows and copy a simple version of the picture onto their own list next to the word. If they don’t know a word, they draw the picture at the bottom of the page.

• When pairs have seen all the cards, ask them to look at other pairs’ answers and see if there are any words they can learn – or maybe answers they disagree with.

• At the end, go through the pictures one by one at the front, and confirm the words.

Hidden answers• Before students arrive, write the words you want to

teach in various positions around the board, and then use tape or sticky-tack to put flashcards with the corresponding pictures on the board covering the words, ie the picture of a station hides the word station underneath it.

• In the lesson, ask pairs of students to look at the board (they could come up for a close look), and write down what the words are for the objects they can see.

• When students have finished, ask a pair to choose one word they think they really know. They come to the board and write it below the picture. Don’t say if it’s correct or not. Ask other pairs if they agree or not with what they have written. If they don’t, ask them to come up and also write their answer below the flashcard.

• When everyone has written their words, you can dramatically remove the picture and reveal the real answer underneath. You could give points to the teams that were correct if you wished.

• Continue with the other pictures in the same way.
