Students’ age range: 16-18
Topic: articles
Description: Before I start, I tell the students that a prize can be won if they complete the task in their group. I also give them the instructions. First listen then write only the articles and nouns in your notebooks. Then you sit in your group and I appoint a team leader. You will have to discuss the usage of the article within you group and correct where necessary. I will read a passage. There will be an incorrect usage of the articles . the students listen to a passage that I read two to three times and each time I come across an article they have to write down the article that is used and the noun that follows.
After that I put them in groups and they have to look at each others list to see if they have the same things that was read out loud.
They then have to correct where the article is used incorrectly and discuss amongst themselves why it is used incorrectly.
Here they also practise the pronunciation of the nouns.
