Teachers Notes
3 Mind Your Language!
Time : 45 60 minutes Aims : To practise vocabulary for countries, nationalities, and languages. To encourage students to look closely at how a word is stressed. 1. Elicit the word nationality and check understanding by asking what your own nationality is. Ask which syllable is stressed (the third nationality). Drill the pronunciation. Divide the class into two, giving one group worksheet A and the other worksheet B. Check they understand what to do. They look up the answers in the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English and/or on the CD-ROM. Working in pairs (one student from each group), they now in the missing information by asking their partner: "What do you call someone from ______?", "What s the language spoken in _________?", "In which country is _________ spoken?" They underline the stressed syllable in these new words. What do they know about these countries and people? Do they believe in stereotypes? What is the stereotyped image of their own nationalities? Can stereotypes be damaging? Why (not)?
