A Well Respected Man

The Kinks

'Cause he gets up in the morning

And he goes to work at nine

And he comes back home at five-thirty

Gets the same train every time

'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality

It never fails

And he's oh, so good

And he's oh, so fine

And he's oh, so healthy

In his body and his mind

(…)

And his mother goes to meetings

While his father pulls the maid

And she stirs the tea with councilors

While discussing foreign trade

And she passes looks, as well as bills

At every suave young man (…)

How do most teachers use micro-dictations?

However ‘small’ they are, micro-dictations have great value! They can help students notice connected speech, which is what usually blocks their understanding in a listening lesson. The teacher reads the sentences or plays the recording. They repeat each sentence a few times. Example: He must have gone out.

Students listen and write what they hear.

The teacher now writes the sentence on the whiteboard and asks students to compare it to theirs.

Finally, the teacher asks: which part was difficult to understand and why?

Bigger Isn’t Always Better: Narrow Traffic Lanes Make Cities Safer

In Beijing, Chennai and Fortaleza, the rate of fatalities from road is incredibly high. What do these cities have in common? They have traffic lanes wider than 3.6 meters (11.8 feet). A longstanding belief among transportation planners and engineers is that wider traffic lanes ensure safe and congestion-free traffic flow. Recent academic research, highlighted in Cities Safer by Design, a WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities publication, shows that wider lanes are more dangerous than narrower lanes.

What does a CCQ mean?

A concept checking question is a question designed to help the teacher check students’ understanding of a language item (grammar structure, vocabulary, fixed expression). “Do you understand?”, “Is that clear?”, “We all know that, right?” or “OK?” should be absolute taboos.

When to ask CCQs?

Every time you explain new material or need to check whether students know what you are talking about. CCQs are particularly useful after guided practice and at the end of the lesson as a review.

How to ask CCQs?

There are some simple rules that can help you create good CCQs and use them effectively:

1. CCQs should be easy to understand, use simple language in CCQs.

2. Don’t use the target language in CCQs;

E.g. I’ll meet her tomorrow.

Bad CCQ: Will I meet her next week?

3. Don’t use new vocabulary in CCQs;

4. Plan CCQs in advance;

5. Ask at least 2 CCQs to cover all of the important aspects of the target language;

6. CCQs should check the meaning of the target language, not of the situation.

E.g. She’s been in bed all day.

Bad CCQ: Is she sick?

7. Some of the most efficient CCQs are yes/no questions along with either/or questions; simple Wh-questions and true/false statements. My TEFL. Concept Checking Questions (CCQs).

Chunks

Chunks are groups of words that can be found together in language.

They can be words that always go together, such as fixed collocations, or that commonly do, such as certain grammatical structures that follow rules. A listener or reader uses their knowledge of chunks to help them predict meaning and therefore be able to process language in real time. Chunks include lexical phrases, set phrases, and fixed phrases.

Example

'Utter disaster', 'by the way', 'encourage + someone + infinitive', 'dependent + on' are all examples of chunks.

In the classroom

Areas of work such as idioms, collocations and verb patterns all focus on types of chunks. Learners can be encouraged to identify and record lexical and grammatical chunks as they find them.
