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 in order to DO the function (weather vocabulary, comparatives, present simple).

Participants work in groups to make their own dialogues and get ready to debate |
Handout PPT (Video 3) Higher Order Thinking Questions |
This activity develop higher order thinking (HOT) questions is also a way to advance participants toward more critical thinking and inquiry, which will produce discussions and debates that lead to opposing ideas and opinions. |
Provide feedback
Trainer(s):
|
11.05-11.15 |
1. Discussion and debates 2. A debate is a competition in which two opposing teams make speeches on a particular topic and motion to support their arguments and contradict the members of the other team. A debate in ESL class can be based on a specific topic that has recently been taught, therefore strengthening language skills and vocabulary but also critical thinking on the part of the participants. There should also be a judges’ table made up of 3-4 mentees who will be evaluating the whole process and assessing each team based on certain criteria. The judges—are the ones who will grade both teams and finally decide on the winner. In other words, the trainer should play the role of the coordinator, thus allowing participants to feel independent, comfortable with the process and responsible for following the rules and guidelines. |
|
Some of the criteria which are easy and effective to use are the following: Clear voice Clear way to express their arguments Organized thoughts Strong opening and/or closing statements Effective use of argumentative language Effective use of key language structures Equal participation of all team members Strong arguments, well thought-out statements Effective rebuttal Respect shown to the judges and the opponents Teamwork amongst members of the same team |
Assess performance
Trainer(s):
|
11.15 11.30 |
1. Creating open-ended questions
- How could the question be improved to be a better discussion question? 2. Assessment can be done due to: Respect time limits and talk only when it is your turn to do so. Plagiarism is not accepted. If you have a source, mention it. You can use your objection cards only once. Speak clearly and loudly Don’t look at your cards while speaking. |

More fruitful are open-ended questions that elicit factual information as well as opinions and differing perspectives. |
