Speaking

  Ideally, this activity would be carried out with a 

computer screen visible to all students, though 

this is not essential. Ask students what they can 

do with a computer window, giving an example 

(make it smaller) to get them started. They may 

respond with gestures, in which case you can 

supply the appropriate language.  

Suggested answers 

resize it, move it, open it, close it, make it 

bigger, make it smaller  

Vocabulary 

2

  This activity looks at vocabulary for various 

parts of windows and dialogue boxes.  

Students annotate a screenshot of a window  

and a dialogue box. The screenshot is from 

Windows 7.
