  9. “Early bird” oral task

  10. Skill = ability • Aim: To develop the learner’s skills to communicate simple everyday messages related to infant education. • When: from 8.30 to 8.45 • How:five students will have to explain something they have learned during the week in a minute. When the student finishes speaking another student will be asked to retell what has been said.

  11. 5 students “Random” means without a specific order. • The students will be chosen in a random way. • If a student has done the task in the previous lesson, it doesn't necessarily mean he or she will not have to do it again in the following class. • Students are strongly advised to be in the class at 8.30.

  12. All the students must • Send to the teacher’s email (iizaga@orueeskola.org) their written compositions. • The deadline being Thursdays (22.00). • The written composition can be: • a writing • An outline (ideas) • An scheme (words)

  13. Evaluation Criteria • The learner has carefully prepared the task • The learner has listened carefully, and she or he can briefly summarize it. • The learner shows respect and interest when the classmate is speaking. • The learner has arrived in time to do the task. • The learner sent her/his composition in time. • The learner takes into account the corrections made by the teacher.

  14. Useful advise • Do not let the task for the last minute. • Use a dictionary (www.wordreference.com) • In order to speak for a minute, you will need at least 10 written lines. • Explaining games or handicrafts might be easier than explaining theories or more complex ideas. • Try to give your opinion (why did you like it?) • If you prepare it with time, you’ll have time to read it at home. Remember you are not allowed to read. • Listening carefully to the classmates might give you ideas about how to structure your task, new useful vocabulary… • Use your body language to help you completing the task. • Try to be coherent. Remember another student will have to summarize your speech.

  15. Let’s try! • In groups of 4 people we are going to TRY to carry out the “Early bird oral task”. • We are going to describe the “musical chairs game”

  16. Possible structure of your task • Beginning: “we are going to describe the musical chairs game” • Describe the things you need to play this game. • Describe the rules: “First ….., when the music stops… Then….”

  17. Testing your level • The following test is only aimed at establishing the class’ level of English. • The student is expected to do it as best as he or she possibly can • The teacher will not take it into account for the final mark. • It contains 3 parts: a reading comprehension, a use of English and a questionnaire.

  18. Questionnaire • When did you start learning English at school? • Have you ever gone to an Academy to learn English? If so, how many years? • Have you got any certificate in English? (B1, B2, C1…) • Have you ever been to an English speaking country? When? For how long? Did you enjoy the experience? • Why do you think learning English is important? • Do you think that having a nice level of English might help you get a job? • Did you like learning English at school? Why? • Would you like to live in an English speaking country for a while? • Would you accept a job related to your studies in an English speaking country? • What features do you think are fundamental to learn a language?
