These handouts are deliberately designed to be multi-purpose hence the name and can therefore be used in lots of different ways according to the needs of your students and your teaching situation. For Talk a Lot lessons it would be great to use the handouts to improve students speaking and listening skills but the handouts can also have value as tools for consolidating material learned during lessons and for practising students reading and writing skills . as homework activities . Some suggestions for using the handouts 1. Practise Speaking and Listening Skills A reading race between pairs of SS using the whole text or part of it. See for a reading race lesson plan. Students listen as the teacher reads a version of the text with twenty differences. Students have to spot the differences. Gap-fill Version -the teacher reads the text whilst the students listen and write the missing word or suggest any word that makes sense . Comprehension Questions - students listen and make notes as the teacher reads the text. They shouldn t write every word but only the important information . names places dates etc. Students then compare their notes with a partner or the whole group. The teacher reads the text again and students check their notes and refine them before comparing them again with their partner or group at the end. Next the teacher either asks the questions verbally or gives students the handout with the questions. The teacher checks feedback with the whole group at the end of the activity. With lower level groups it may be necessary to do the reading and note-taking stage a third time. Note you don t have to use all thirty questions - it depends how much time you want to spend on the activity Adaptations i students or the teacher could write their own comprehension
