3.1
Packs of connected sentence cards have eight sentence block sentences on them – with oneword on each card. The aim of the cards is for students to learn about:a) sentence building: how to make a sentence; the order in which we put the wordsb) sentence stress: which words are content words and which are function wordsc) connected speech: how we join together the words in a sentence; how we connectthe sound at the end of one word with the sound at the beginning of the next wordThere are lots of ways in which you could use these cards, some of which are suggestedhere. There is also a detailed lesson plan on p.3.3 which outlines how to use the cards toteach the techniques of connected speech. From p.3.6 there is a detailed demonstration ofhow you could use the cards to teach connected speech by focusing on the vowel andconsonant sounds that occur between words in a sentence.First of all, print the cards (on thin card, if possible). If you are able to laminate them, thatwould be ideal, because you will be able to use the same set of cards again and again!Ideas for using the connected sentence cards:
•
Ask students to work in pairs or groups to put together the cards to make thesentence. You could give one sentence (of the eight sentence block startingsentences) to each pair or group in the class; when they have finished their task, tellthem to go and help put together the other sentences
•
Mix up all of the cards from a set of eight sentences and ask students to put wordsinto groups according to the kind of word, e.g. nouns, adjectives, main verbs, auxiliaryverbs, and so on. Elicit from them which kinds of words are content words and whichare function words (see p.12.1)
•
Get students to write their own starting sentences. Check them for accuracy, then askstudents to make their own connected sentence cards using the blank template onp.3.2. Then, they swap their sentence (or sentences) with another group and try tosolve the sentence(s) that they get in return
•
Follow the detailed lesson plan on p.3.3
•
Use the demo (from p.3.6) as a guide for building lessons that explore connectedspeech
