Module teaching and integrating language skills lesson 1

Possible answers:
Isolated phonemes and syllables have no meaning per se. Neither syllables nor words are used in isolation in authentic speech. This task does not explore any links between sounds and meaning.
This type of activity can be improved by making it more meaningful; in a longer piece of speech; in a text which contains pairs of words that are easy to confuse: ship-sheep; thirty-thirteen; back-bag-beg.
Activity 1.
B) Sentences. You’re going to read five pairs of sentences. Ss should write down each pair using the appropriate punctuation in their note-books. Then 5 students one by one go to the board write them on it.
1. ‘Who?’ said John. (*= pause for participants to write it down) / Who said ‘John?’(*)
2. ‘A doctor!’ called Mike. (*)/ A doctor called Mike. (*)
3. Why? Don’t you like it? (*)/ Why don’t you like it? (*)
4. Lemon, tea and sweets. (*)/ Lemon tea and sweets. (*)
5. See you. Later I’ll call you. (*) / See you later. I’ll call you. (*)’
Ask Ss the following questions and elicit a few random answers after each question:
∼ How is this activity different from the previous one?
∼ What is the main focus of this activity?
