Language Grading and Concept Checking Assignment for Teachers

Teacher LanguageThis part of the assignment is set to enable us to assess your language grading and
concept checking. You should show a) some of the language you would use in the
presentation, and b) to give one instruction.
You must use direct speech, e.g. T: So everyone, look at this picture, please. What can you
see?
S1: Man and woman
T: A man and a woman, yes, can anyone say a bit more?
S2: They're riding their bikes.
T: Excellent. Good. What are their names do you think?
S3: Donald and Melania.
T: Great idea! – So I'm putting that on the board (Teacher writes on the board 'Donald and
Melania are riding their bikes.')
You might need to put in some predicted student responses, as in the example above.
Check the examples in Unit 7 to make sure you understand what is required.
N.B. If you do not use direct speech, you will be required to resubmit the whole assignment.
This document should not be more than 3 pages long, including this page; approx
700-1000 words in total.
a) Presentation
You do not need show the entire presentation, but show us some of the language you would
use to elicit the target language from the context you have chosen, elicit the form and
concept check.
Show the actual words you would use for:
Eliciting the target language, the form and the concept
i) eliciting the target language from the context
T: So what tense do we use when we say something about the present time?
S: Present tense.
T: More specifically?
S: simple present tense, present perfect tense, present continuous tense and present perfect continuous
tense
T: good. Very good
Now, can you give me one example of the simple present tense?
S1: I eat muffins.
T: right
Do you want to share any other examples?
S2: yes. What about ‘I play football’?

T: very good
Now, if I ask you to add one possibility to the sentence that you have uttered just now, what that will
be?
S2: I did not understand.
T: let me explain.
When I say ‘I play football’ then I can add a possibility such as ‘if I play football, I will be an expert in
the sport one day’. Is not that right?
S: yes.
T: so, now it is your turn to give me any such possibilities to the condition: ‘if I go to the party’...
S1: I will enjoy.
T: that is correct but you tell that in a full sentence.
S1: if I go to the party, I will enjoy.
T: does anyone want to try?
S3: if I go to the party, I will dance.
S4: if I go to the party, I will swim on the pool.
T: very good
Now, let’s tell me something that you do not do.
For example, if I do not go to the party...
S6: if I do not go to the party, I will bore.
T: you will get bored. Right
..........
ii) eliciting the form
T: now see the form of the examples that you have given.

Look at the board everyone.
See here the form is
If+ simple present, subject+ will+ infinitive
Why is that?
See, the sentences start with if
Then there is the verb.
Then the next clause comes with the probability.
Can you see it?
S: yes.
T: So tell me what is the tense of the verbs in the first clause?
S: simple present.
T: what are the common elements in all these sentences?
S1: the word if
T: yes absolutely right.
And what else are the similarities?
S2: the two clauses
T: that is also right and.....?
S3: the simple present form of verb
T: yes. Do you want to add anything else?
S4: no
T: see, there is the word ‘will’ in all the sentences. Isn’t it?
S: yes.
iii) Concept checking
T: so tell me the reason behind using the word if here.
S1: to present the possibility.
T: yes.
But why are we using the word will here?
S5: it is because the next clause is talking about the future.
