Activity 7
• We concentrate on
speech register in this activity.
Register refers to the set of
linguistic features (not only
words and expressions) that are
used in a particular setting. For
example, very formal register is
used in some rites, ceremonies,
and other occasions that involve
great solemnity. Some texts are
also written in a very formal
register (minutes or contracts).
• Register does not rely uniquely
on words and expressions, but
that is generally where register
is most noticeable. For the
sake of argument, you can leave
it at that.
• Make time for feedback
sessions with the students and
answer any questions they may
have. While students don’t need
to learn about metalinguistic
concepts in English, they can
give insight into students’
cognitive processes and help
them reflect on what they
already know and what they
need to learn.

Activity 8
• The aim of this activity is for your students to decide how to better organize their set of instructions.
• Instructions are easier to understand if they follow a simple repetitive pattern. The example has a pattern
consisting of a heading and instructions which is repeated three times.
• Remember that every skill mastered or activity completed is essential to producing a product. If your
students get stuck or diverted from the goal, remind them that producing a product involves a number of
interactions, all of which are involved in developing the product.
• RB Box can either extend the current practice or provide material for developing it. If you have enough
material, take time during the practice to go through the Reader’s Book to foster curiosity and improve
reading skills.
Activity 9

• The names of the components are important, but the focus of this activity is the PURPOSE of each one of
them. Point out that in a text every single detail (not only the content) is an element that should
be interpreted.
• Although there are no “incorrect” answers in this activity, be sure to explain why these elements are
important for their set of instructions.
