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.
