help when using video in class.)
Keep it short
Exploit the material
Switch the TV off when the students dont need to look at it.
Only use video material to extract language for study.

5. What are some other ideas to liven up a video lesson? Match the excerpts in the balloons with the items below.
a. Dont let students mentally switch off; make them think; challenge them. Cover up the screen and ask
questions; Listen to the words/music whats the picture? What are they describing: Where are they?

b.

Then, look at the images and compare.

In pairs, the above idea becomes an instant communicative activity: Tell your partner what you think was
happening. It could lead to drawing and comparison of pictures.

6.Teachers have increasingly found ways to exploit computers in classroom time; even if they dont have any
special programs, there are useful things to do with a computer and standard office-user software. Match the
excerpts in the balloons with the items below.
1. Computer-based reference materials are very useful. A good thesaurus dictionary and encyclopedia are
great classroom resources, allowing students to quickly check things during lesson time.
2. Teachers often think in terms of a computer lesson. Thats fine, but also consider planning lessons that
involve short periods of computer usage, e.g., ten minutes writing a text as a follow-on from a previous
classroom activity, and then printing it out for others to read.
3. Teachers can mark students work. They can ask students to submit their homework on e-mail attachment,
and then mark it using a notes-adding or comment option so that students can go back and review their
work and prepare a new draft.

5.As teachers, we should make practice of exam techniques a little more interesting. Many of these ideas also
perform the essential task of raising awareness about how the tests are marked and the criteria the examiner will
use. Find five ideas that will do so.
1. Students mark each others tests.
2. Students do an exercise at great speed (Blitz it) 10-20 percent of the normal time allowance no thinking
time. Teacher records the grades.
3. Teacher gives students the chalk and let them discuss and work through an exam paper together on the
board (teacherless lesson). Teacher only looks at (and marks) the board when students have completely
finished. (This is also a good group-building exercise, as it becomes a joint responsibility to get the best
possible answers.)
4. Students set tests in a particular style for each other (e.g. they take a text and rewrite it with gaps; they
prepare multiple-choice questions on a text, etc.)
5. Students take some written information about the exam (e.g. from a prospectus or a marking scheme) and
turn it into exercises in the style of typical exam questions.
6. Teacher does the exercise (including a mistake or two!) and the students correct it.

7. Why might teenage classes seem demanding on the teacher? Match the excerpts in the balloons with the items
below.
1. Teenagers have changing interests. They get bored quickly.
2. Its a difficult period of life. Teenagers are often not sure about themselves and how they feel about things.
3. Strong emotions of various kinds may be rising and falling. Sexual or romantic feelings may alter the
workings of some techniques and activities.
4. Motivation may appear to be low, especially if learners feel that they have been forced to attend something
they dont want to.
5. Activities might be rejected or done without personal investment because the learners feel silly or
embarrassed when doing them.
6. Discipline can seem to be a problem. Teenagers seem particularly averse to things that they see as
imposed on them.

story and work on getting this understood and correct before we move on to work on telling the story, whereas fluency

9a.Find the assertion that does NOT apply to Projects.
1. Projects are a useful way of providing an ongoing thread to classroom work. They supply a longer term goal to
focus on, and students can invest their energy in something that has a tangible outcome.
2. Projects are successfully done when students have all the same language level.
3. Projects are usually task-oriented rather than language oriented. The learners focus on doing something
practical rather directly on studying language.
4. Projects typically involve learners in decisions about precisely what is done and how to do it, as well as in
collecting information, solving problems and presenting the final outcome as a written or performed
presentation.
5. The planning, decision-making, ideas-collecting, structuring, discussion, negotiation, problem-solving, etc. are all
an integral part of project work.
6. The language learning arises from learners having a reason to communicate authentically in English to achieve a
specific goal.
