DIRECT METHOD LEGACY 

INPUT V/S INTAKE

Through real objects we will teach forms

and meaning. So as a result we expect that at

least students can retain vocabulary. In this casewe are talking about the weather (winter, summer,

autumn, winter) so the idea is that they could be

able to identify each other, also what type of 

clothing is used in each of them and the names of 

these.

WHAT SOME ARE  YOUR SS GOING TO 

INTERNALIZE? 

What for them is meaningful. In the case of our unit,

they will probably internalize their favourite weather 

or sport.

TASK BASED LEARNING 

Think of a task based learning activity to

complement your unit.

 Ask them to draw their favourite weather andsport, then they have to present it and explain why

they chose it.

Use realia to made connection between the real

world and what they are seeing in the unit. For 

example, show them an object and ask them where

the object is: on, in, under or by the table and how

many objects they see.
