Practice 7

Say Your Piece

Activity 1 Warm-up stage
• Although this practice may
look as if it belongs to the
academic and educational
environment because your
students have to do research
to support their arguments, it
is clearly from the family and
community environment. Have
your students think of times
when people gather to reach a
consensus about a celebration,
or some other action that should
be taken to resolve a
community issue.
• In order to have better
participation in such events,
your students should have the
opportunity to do research and
not merely give opinions.
• You can continue the session
with a few questions to
encourage students to have a
discussion about their rights.

Activity 2
• Ask your students to review the
questions and their answers as a means of preparing and improving their readiness for the listening task.
rack 46 • When using tracks, it is a good idea to play them twice. The first time you play them, ask your students to

focus on getting the general idea, while on the second, ask them to focus more attentively on the details.
T • Ask your students to compare their answers. Remind them that there are no correct answers as such, but
there are different ways to perceive certain subjects.

• Make sure your students can explain why their answers were either similar or different; this is a way of
fostering metacognitive skills.

• The CD icon will appear throughout the practice to indicate the activity the track is linked to. However,
remember the way we order activities is a suggestion and you may change them to suit the purposes you
established with your students.
