Teaching Presentation Skills – Some Techniques: 

Teaching Presentation Skills – Some Techniques Ss analyse model presentation for content and language - controlled practice of language – preparation of own introduction Ss see two versions of the same introduction – one effective, one not. Discuss which they prefer and why. Task based approach – Ss prepare and present their own introduction, then watch model version and compare

Did you? Oh no! Whatever did you do? Gambits That reminds me of … etc

Problem Solving Activity: 

Problem Solving Activity Dialogue – Short turns Primarily Transactional Discourse Equal participant rights Neutral – informal style Spontaneous speech

Problem Solving Activity: 

Problem Solving Activity Initiation of activity Negotiating a solution Restating and checking the solution

Does this all need teaching?: 

Does this all need teaching? There are cross cultural differences between genres Even when there aren’t, Ss may still need practice in doing it in English

What did you do at the weekend?: 

What did you do at the weekend? S1 : My weekend wasn’t very special. I was going to go to Venice but I didn’t … So I just stayed at home. But I went to the cinema on Saturday. And you? S2 : I stayed at home too because I er I have an exam next week and I had to study. I just watched television.

A speaking skills lesson: 

A speaking skills lesson Main Aim (Skills –Speaking) Ss will improve their ability to participate in informal conversation with high transactional focus, in particular by increasing their awareness and ability to : a) Ask for feedback : What about …; Is it OK if we … b) Give feedback : No, we can’t; Yes, that’s OK for me; Right, I’m with you etc … c) Use repair strategies : stopping the speaker -Hold on …; Querying what was said - Left? Sorry?; Asking for more specific information –Whereabouts exactly?

Slide19: 

Subsidiary Aims (Language Systems) Ss will consolidate their ability to : Make suggestions : how about…; let’s … ;why don’t we …; what if we …; etc Give directions : turn left; first on your left; straight along etc Lesson Fit and Assumptions In the previous lesson, students focused on ways of making suggestions and of giving directions. It is therefore assumed that these functions will need no or little preliminary focus during the lesson.

Procedural notes: 

Procedural notes Lead–in (10-15 mins) PW : T tells students of a problem she has (has to get to Porta Genova but is phobic about the Metro). Asks Ss to think of three suggestions to help her. T/Class : Suggestions elicited, suggestions exponents and directions exponents focused.

Slide21: 

Task (10 mins) T/Class : T explains task, and tells students to tell her when they have either completed it or given up. PW : Ss attempt task. It is presumed they will succeed not at all, or with difficulty. T monitors, stopping the task when Ss give up or seem to be getting frustrated.

Slide22: 

Follow-up (15-20 mins) Students listen to native speaker model of task and identify differences between native-speaker strategies and their own. If time only : Ss listen again while following the transcript Students look at transcript and identify ways in which the speakers : a) ask for feedback b) give feedback c) use repair strategies

Slide23: 

Task stage 2 (15-20 mins) T/Class : T explains second stage of task – Ss have to find the route from the Garden Centre to the Indian restaurant. PW : Ss complete task. T monitors T/Class : Feedback : content and language

Summary: 

Summary Each genre of spoken discourse will have its own specific features : - content and organisation - interactive conventions - linguistic features The T. needs to know what these are and, as necessary, focus on them in the classroom.
