SECTION Introduction to Picture Prompts

1 1.1 What Picture Prompts contains

Notes Each Picture Prompts book contains:

• a description of ways of using games and game-like activities in foreign language teaching;

• a menu of 20-30 standard activities which can be used with the specific picture cards;

• photocopiable sets of pictures to use around a theme (eg Health), or to provide practice in a specific language area (eg Adjectives);

• instructions for using the pictures, including: - vocabulary list; - useful language; - suitable standard activities; - additional activities;

• spinners to photocopy and cut out for use with games; • blank boards to photocopy and use to make your own games.

Each book thus provides a rich resource of ideas and photocopiable materials which can be used with a wide range of age groups and language levels.

1.2 Using games in the language classroom

Notes Games and game-like activities provide excellent ways of allowing learners to practise language in a relaxed, creative way. They encourage the repetition of key language items in a way which is motivating and challenging. New lexical items and grammatical structures can be used within familiar game-like formats, thus providing the slower learners' with support and guidance, while allowing the faster ones to use their creativity.

The practice provided through Picture Prompts extends that contained in the course book, and allows mixed ability classes to work in groups at their own pace.

1.3 Preparing the picture sheets

\lotes The picture sheets can be prepared in different ways: • They can be photocopied onto paper, for use as handouts or worksheets. • They can be enlarged, for use as flashcards or posters. • They can be copied onto card, and cut out, to make individual cards for use in

games. • Text can be added beneath the pictures, or on the back. • To protect the pictures, they can be copied onto paper, glued onto card, and then

covered with acetate. • They can be photocopied onto acetate to provide OHP transparencies. • The visuals can be combined or grouped to make display materials, or to make

a picture dictionary or topic reference book. • The blank masters can be used to create new sets of visuals, and to make

matching text cards and new games.

1.4 Using the picture sheets

\otes The visuals can be used to: • introduce a new word or phrase; • serve as a prompt for spoken language in a practice or review activity; • serve as a reminder of the meaning of a written word or phrase; • provide the starting point for introducing or revising related vocabulary; • illustrate a structure, often in combination with other pictures; • provide a series of examples to illustrate a teaching point; • provide random prompts, when used in conjunction with a spinner or die, for

practice or assessment.

Page 7: Picture Prompts Body and Health

1.5 Language presentation

Notes Introduce new language, using the visuals as flashcards, or on the OHP. Provide plenty of time for the language to be heard and practised before you ask any student to speak alone. Chorus work and class repetition are useful here. Encourage the learners to experiment with their voices: they can repeat the words in different ways, eg emphatically, softly, angrily, questioningly, etc. This helps to avoid boredom, and encourages good intonation and pronunciation.

Learners who are good at relating ,sounds and visuals will find that they can easily associate language items with the illustrations. Others may find it useful to see the written form as well, so introduction of this should not be delayed. At this stage, attention should be drawn to differences between pronunciation of the written form in English and the students' own language. In this way, these items can be used later as production models by the students.

1.6 Practice activities and games

Notes Once the learners are familiar with the new vocabulary items, individual or group activities and games can be set up to practise them. Such activities will provide opportunities to practise the items in context, and in association with specific language structures and functions. This will help them transfer the language into their long-term memories.

During the course of an activity, you should help the students with any lexical items or pronunciation features which they are unsure of.

Section 3 (page 9) sets out a collection of standard activity-types which can be used with any of the picture sheets in this book.

The language notes opposite each page of pictures give activities which are designed specifically for that visual set.

1.6.1 Varying the activities Most of the standard activities are based on well-known games and may be familiar to your class. Younger learners are often very good at making up their own variations, while older ones may rely on you to suggest these. However, adults usually respond well, as they can practise actively without using the language 'in public'.

The important thing is that the learners are practising the language in an active, meaningful way, and are also having fun. Some of the games may generate noise; others are quite quiet. Some are competitive; others require co-operation.

You may wish to decide how to encourage weaker students in the competitive games. These can often be made into exciting team events, using mixed ability teams, with a time element. If this involves physical movement, make sure there are no hazards in the classroom!

For extended practice, you may wish to get the students to move round the room after each game, changing partners and groups. Most games last between 5 and 15 minutes, although the writing activities generally take longer.

Allow time at the end of a game to discuss difficulties, and ideas for varying or improving the game. There may be ways of adapting it to reflect the students' own interests more closely.

Page 8: Picture Prompts Body and Health

1.7 Assessment

Notes 1.7. 1 Self-assessment Activities and games based on picture cards are ideal for encouraging the learners to assess their own progress. Once they are sure of particular language items, they can discard these particular cards and use more unfamiliar ones. The cards can be used together later for a test.

1.7.2 Teacher assessment This can take place:

• during a teacher-controlled activity with the OHP; • by observing individuals and pairs at work; • by joining in with groups or individuals during an activity; • by providing individuals or groups with a worksheet, based on the same visuals.

Such feedback provides information for future reteaching, or for planning future work.

SECTION Using the Pictures

2

2.1 Use in class

Notes

The pictures contained in this book can be used singly, or in a variety of combinations. to support work at different stages of the language programme. They can also be used with students of different abilities, needs and ages.

The visuals can be used: ~ • with the whole class, to introduce vocabulary and concepts; • with individual students and groups, to practise or revise specific language items.

They can be: • combined in many different ways to illustrate relationships between different

areas of vocabulary; • used in random groups to introduce variety and an element of challenge; • introduced singly or in groups as the starting point for using language creatively.

Function cards (page 51) can be used in combination with the visuals to encourage the transfer of learning from one context to another.

Board games (page 51-53) involving the visuals and/or dice and spinners, can be used to set up group activities which are simple or demanding.

2.2 Using the OHP: why

Notes If available, an OHP is particularly useful for introducing new vocabulary. It can also be used for whole-class work at various stages in the language programme. It can be used to: • ensure that the students understand the concepts underlying the activity; • review previously-taught language items before introducing new, associated vocabulary; • present new language; • provide teacher-led practice of new language; • assess whether the new language has been well enough learned for the students to

go on to group work activities; • play whole-class games; • demonstrate the rules of a game before it is played in groups; • invite suggestions from the students on ways of using language items in different

situations; • encourage activities which require the students to make creative use of the language

they have learned; • organise feedback on an activity; • assess learning; • revise items which were learned earlier in the programme.

2.3 Using the OHP: how

Notes There are many ways of using the pictures on the OHP. Here are several, which will add variety and interest to your lesson.

• Move the pictures slowly into focus and ask the students to name them. • Flash the picture up. If it is not named, repeat more slowly. • Reveal sections of the picture bit by bit. • Cut the picture into sections, and put on the OHP in random order, and/or upside

down. Ask the students to reassemble in the correct order. • Use as silhouettes. • Use a keyhole shape cut out of card as a frame. Play 'Through the Keyhole'

guessing games. • Colour the pictures using instructions from the class. • Add overlays for items such as the price of clothes. • Use for whole-class games such as Noughts and Crosses [3]; Whats on the Card?

[1]; Kims Game [6]; True or False?[14]; and Guessing Game [13].

SECTION

4 Using the Spinners

Language spinners or dice can be used in combination with visual materials to add a further enjoyable dimension to the learning experience. Spinner versions of dice included in this book are:

• Question and Pronoun • Tenses • Colour x 2 • Mood • 10, 12 and 20 sided Number Dice.

Blank spinners of different shapes and sizes are also provided for teachers to create their own language versions, and amended or additional prompts.

How to prepare

• Photocopy the spinners onto thin card, or photocopy onto paper and glue this onto thicker card. Make a hole in the middle, and push through a section of a thickish drinking straw, a long matchstick, or a toothpick. Secure with rubber bands or blutak around the straw on both sides of the spinner.

• Blank spinners are provided so that the materials can be easily adapted. For example, teachers can photocopy and duplicate selected items and paste them up to create additional materials appropriate to particular groups. Learners can be asked to adapt the games and make up new ones as an exercise.

• It is also possible to use small cards as an alternative to dice or spinners.

Group Work - Suggested Activities:

Use a spinner or dice as an extra prompt within games such as Three in a Row or True or False? Choose one item on the dice or spinner for repeated practice of one item, or allow players to have a free throw. • Cards can be used to indicate the context in which sentences indicated by the dice

should be generated, for example Questions about Fitness, Colours of Monsters, Feelings about Health Problems.

• Stacks of cards and a selection of dice can be used to generate quite complex sentences. Eg Questions dice + Pronoun dice + Tenses dice + Health cards can give: When do you take aspirin? Why was he sick? Where did she sprain her ankle?

• Sentences generated could be written down for later checking with the teacher.

Question Spinner: Example: Why are you going to the doctor's? - Because I've sprained my ankle. Pronoun Spinner: Example: I've got short curly hair, but you've got long straight hair:. Colour Spinner: Example: That monster's got green hair and a purple tongue. Faces Spinner: to prompt opinions and feelings. Examples: I like ... I love brown eyes. I don't mind short hair:. I hate wasp stings. Number Spinner: Examples: I've got ten toes. That monster has three eyes.

Tenses etc Spinner: (the first three of these prompts are based on video controls). > (play) say something about the present. » (fast forward) say something about the future. «(rewind) say something about the past. X negative say something using a negative. 1 question make a question.

command give a command.
