in English, writing some of them on the board.

Activity 15: You are being challenged!
In all production activities, students should be encouraged to reflect on the

communication situation. So they need to realize the purpose of the production, the
interlocutors involved (for example, who is writing or talking to whom?), the format,
the characteristics of the genre, when and where this interaction takes place...
Teacher should also encourage the use of multiple communication resources so that
students can make up for their elementary knowledge of lexis and structures with
other forms of expression. Thus the students’ production can get closer to the social
and authentic use of language.
