Introduce and discuss language functions as what students DO with the language using these examples:
Participants will be asked to contrast language functions with forms by saying that language forms are the structures (grammar) and vocabulary that students need to perform the function. Use the “Orally compare the weather in your city to the weather in Paris” example to discuss the language forms we need to DO the function (weather vocabulary, comparatives, present simple).

Ask the questions: “What is routine?” Ask PP to tell their answers to their peers. Mini-lecture on benefits of using routine activities on the quality of the lesson (learners feel less anxious as steps are predictable, they act more independently as they have already experienced the same activities before) Trainer: (mini-lecture) Effective classroom routines have purpose and meaning far greater than simple management. As you strive to establish good routines toward a communicative language classroom environment, your students will increase in learning and use of the target language. This module will help you explore different classroom routines you can apply to your teaching context while using English. Routines are important for promoting classroom management and establishing shared expectations with your students. Students learn with less stress in environments with structure and routines. Establishing routines can also develop students’ independent learning habits because they know what to do with confidence.

Ask PP the question: “How do you end your lessons?” They should share their experiences. Present the Wrap-Up routines and Exit tickets. For the wrap-up at the end of a lesson, you can set up instructional routines such as paired or group reflection for sharing. Your reflective wrap-up questions can be: • What is one thing that you learned today? • What is one question that you still wonder about? • What is one way someone helped you to learn? For example, you can write on the board, and say: • “Class, let’s read the wrap-up questions on the board.” • “Class, let’s take a look at the wrap-up questions on the board.” • “Class, let’s think about these reflection questions as our wrap-up.” • “Can I have someone volunteer to read the wrap-up questions?”
Divide the class into two groups: A and B. Group A should create questions for Wrap Up routines. Group B should create statements for Wrap Up routines. They should write them onboarding cards. |
