Listening and Speaking / Daily listening and speaking practice
Choose an activity a day from the list of activities on pages 3 and 4.
Listen and speak
Talk about a picture
Learner’s Book page 2
1. Work as a class. Ask learners to look at the photographs on page 1 quietly on their own for a few minutes.
2. Discuss Question 1. It focuses on literal aspects of the photograph: what the children are doing. Encourage learners to use full sentences when they answer.
3. In Question 2 learners express how the photos make them feel. They must be able to explain their answers, for example: The pictures make me feel happy, because the children are playing/having fun.
4. Question 3 relates to the learners’ own lives. Learners say what they like to do for fun.
Listen to a story
This activity can be used to do a baseline assessment of listening skills. If so, learners can answer the questions in the After you listen in writing. If you are not going to use it for baseline assessment, they can be done orally, in groups. Organise the class into groups before you start the Before you listen section.
Before you listen
1. Explain that you are going to read a story about the children in the picture on page 2.
2. Discuss the questions with the class. Learners use the picture and words to predict what the story might be about.
3. Explain that you will read the story four times. Remind them to sit still and concentrate while they listen.
While you listen
1. The first time you read the story, encourage learners to close their eyes and just listen.
2. The second time, ask them to look at the pictures while you read. When you have finished, discuss the predictions they made in Before you read. How are they the same as the story? How are they different?
3. Read the story a third time. Learners write down the words they do not understand. Discuss the meanings of the words with learners. Encourage learners to work out the meaning themselves. To help them do this, read the sentences in which the word occurs. Then go through the words and meaning in the Word list.
4. The fourth time, learners sit and listen carefully again.
After you listen
1. Learners work either individually and answer the questions in writing, or they discuss the questions in groups. Read through Questions 1a–e in this section. Questions 1a–c require literal answers. Question 1d requires analysis, synthesis and organisation of information in the story, and Question 1e draws on learner’s own experience.
2. In Question 2, learners use a frame to retell the story to a partner. The learners should retell the story in the correct sequence, using the simple past tense, and name the characters correctly.
Spelling and punctuation
Learners complete a word building exercise in which they match beginnings and endings to words. They draw on phonic knowledge. Answers should include: helpful, unhelpful, friendly, unfriendly, grandfather. These answers are optional: grandfatherly, fatherly.
Baseline Assessment
For listening assessment, use the memorandum provided in After you listen to mark the answers. For speaking assessment, ask learners to retell the story ‘Our rope swing’ to a partner without using the frame that they have completed. Walk around the class to observe the learners speak.
