Assignment 2, Part 2.2
Three Activities for exploiting the authentic text with advanced students
A) A dictionary activity (see Unit 2) – either an activity which could be used for vocabulary pre-
teaching or one which could be used as a follow-up for further vocabulary development.
Name of Activity: Call My Bluff (modified and adapted to the specificities of the described class)
How Long the Activity would Take: 1’ (instructions) + 4’ (definitions) + 7’ (peer-correction)
Total 12’
Aims:
To enable students to use a dictionary efficiently
To engage their interest and pre-teach vocabulary
To enable them to peer-correct
Teacher’s Instructions:
*Use the vocabulary cards, each containing 3 of the 12 vocabulary items.
*Divide the students in 4 groups of 3. (the assignment guide says a class of 12 while some documents say 15,
for the activities I’ll go with 12 students)
* Tell each group to choose a card. (they will only see the back of the cards)
* Ask them to try to come up with their own definitions for each word/phrase/expression they
have on their card. They should write them down. (4’)
* When done, ask the groups to swap their cards and then look the words/expressions up in the
dictionary and correct if their definitions do not match.
* Let each group present the definitions of the words they have.
Materials:
* 4 Vocabulary cards
* Dictionary
* Internet connection.

B) An activity which requires students to use online resources. (See Unit 10) You MUST provide a
student worksheet which MUST give examples of the websites students could use for this
activity.

How Long the Activity would Take: 13’

note the type of transport they need to use to get there. (8’)
