Listening activities
In this unit, students listen to a woman
talking about her first job, teaching in Tanzania,
and then find answers to the pre-set
questions. The aim may be to develop students’
listening abilities.
Speaking activities
The speaking activity in this unit is
called ‘A maze’ in which students are presented
with a problem and a ‘menu’ of
choices. They have to discuss, negotiate,
argue, and persuade until they reach a
group decision. They are then presented
with the ‘result’ of their decision, another
problem and another ‘menu’ of choices.
This continues until they are out of the
maze. The aims of the activity may be to
provide students with an opportunity for
free speaking practice and to practise the
skills of negotiating and giving opinions.
