to explain intermolecular forces. One of the ways could be as follow
Arrange two magnets in such a way that south of one magnet faces the
north of other magnet. They will jump and stick to each other due to
attraction
Arrange two more sets and keep them apart from each other so that
they are out of each other’s magnetic fields
Spread iron fillings around them
Choose one of the sets and name it fixed molecule
Now slowly drag one of the others and bring it to the magnetic field of
the fixed one.
Observe the movements
Move it randomly in the magnetic field of the fixed one and closely
observe the movement
Tell the trainee teachers that each set can be analogy for a molecule and
the forces between them as intermolecular forces
Summarize the activity by sharing the following definition of Van Der
Waal’s forces
Van der Waals forces is a general term used to define the attraction of
intermolecular forces between molecules. There are two kinds of Van der
Waals forces: weak forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.
Sub topic 2: Hydrogen Bonding (15 minutes)
Tell trainee teachers that they will find self-explanatory videos about
Hydrogen bonding in LMS. However, explain the concept and use two
models of water molecules and demonstrate hydrogen bonding between
them.
Draw molecular diagrams on the writing board and reinforce the
concept.
Tell them that Hydrogen bond is the electrostatic attraction between
two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom covalently
bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O),
or fluorine (F) experiences the electrostatic field of another highly
electronegative atom nearby.

Sub topic 2: Molarity (15 minutes)
Ask the trainee teachers, “Can you define mole?”
Write their answer on the board, which may be 6.022 * 1023
particles/things
Ask if it is possible to count that large number each time
Tell trainee teachers that in case of pure chemicals, using atomic mass
is useful to determine the amount of substance e.g. Mole of C = 12.01
grams however, in case of solutions, its concentration tis used to
calculate the amount of substance
Molarity is used to find out the amount of substance in solution. It is
number of moles of solute dissolved in certain volume.
Take NaCl and a measuring beaker of water.
Tell trainee teachers that we will prepare 0.75 Molar solution in 0.500 L
1 Mole of NaCl is equal to 1 mole of Na + 1 mole of Cl = 22.98.g/l +
35.45 g/l = 58.43 g/l
Now we want to prepare 0.75 M solution which means = 0.75 mole/ l
but we know that we want it in 500 ml so
0.5 L *0.75/1 L = 0.375 mol NaCl
= 0.375.mol * 58.43 g/mol = 21.91 g of salt will be required to make
0.75 molar salt solution
Now measure 21.911 or approximately 22 g of salt and pour 500 ml
water in a beaker and slowly add salt and prepare solution
Sub topic 3: Solution, Colloid, and Suspension (10 minutes)
Tell trainee teachers that videos regarding solution, colloids, and
suspension are self-explanatory in LMS. However we will prepare each
of them

69
Topic 1: Active and Passive voice. (10 minutes)
Instruction
Share the following information with the trainee teachers
In Active Voice subject, verb and object sentence pattern is followed. In
Passive Voice subject takes the place of object while object becomes
subject. Third form of verb is used in all the cases. “By” is added before
the object in passive voice sentences e.g.
a. Active Voice: He kicked the ball
b. Passive voice: The ball was kicked by him.
Note: Passive Voice is usually used when the verb/action is more important
than the subject. e.g.
The ball was kicked.
The building was constructed in five days. etc.
See activity -1 in practice session
For further details ask the trainee teachers to consult LMS.
Topic 2: Direct and Indirect Narration. (10 minutes)
Direct Speech
Direct speech repeats or quotes the exact words spoken. When we use
direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation
marks (" ") and there is no change in these words. We may be reporting
something that is being said NOW (for example a telephone
conversation), or telling someone later about a previous conversation.
Examples
a. She says, "What time will you be at home?"
b. "There's a fly in my soup!" screamed Anam.
c. Hashir said, "There's an elephant outside the window."
Indirect Speech
Indirect speech is a report on what someone else said or wrote without
using that person exact words.
a. She said, "I saw him." (direct speech)
b. She said that she had seen him. (indirect speech)
For further details and practice ask the trainee teachers to consult LMS.
Topic 3: Integration of four skills of language learning. (20 minutes)
Ask the trainee teachers to watch videos and read articles on the topic in
LMS.

Share the following information with trainee teachers.
In English the main parts of speech are Noun, Pronoun, Adjective,
Articles, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection.
Share with the trainee teachers that in the upcoming fortnight we will
discuss all of them in detail.
Sub Topic 1: Synonyms and Antonyms
Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. Synonyms are words
that have the same or a similar meaning.
70
Antonym Examples
a. Achieve – Fail
b. Idle – Active
c. Afraid – Confident
d. Ancient – Modern
e. Arrive – Depart
f. Arrogant – Humble
g. Ascend – Descend
Synonym Examples
a. Benefit, profit, revenue, yield

g. Enormous, huge, gigantic, massive
h. Evil, bad, wicked, vile, malicious
For further details ask trainee teachers to consult LMS.
Sub Topic 2: Suffixes and Prefixes
Share following information’s with trainee teachers
Prefix
A prefix is a group of letters placed before a root word. For example, the
word "unhappy" consists of the prefix "un-" [which means "not"]
combined with the root (stem) word "happy"; the word "unhappy"
means "not happy."
Suffix
A suffix is a group of letters placed after the root word. For example, the
word flavorless consists of the root word "flavor" combined with the
suffix "-less" [which means "without"]; the word "flavorless" means
"having no flavor."
See activity 2 in practice session
71
Activity 2: Suffixes and Prefixes. (10 minutes)

Instruction
Share with the trainee teachers the following information.
Hearing is the act of perceiving sound and receiving sound waves or
(15 minutes) vibrations through your ear. Listening is the act of hearing a sound and
understanding what you hear. Hearing is one of the five senses and it just
happens all the times – whether you like it or not – unless you have a
73
hearing problem. But if you listen, you are consciously choosing what you
want to hear. You concentrate on what you hear in order to understand
the message. (Difference between Listening and Hearing." Difference
Between.net. February 10, 2017 )
Ask any two participants to come in front of the whole class, one would
ask questions and the other would respond like an interview:

Listening for the gist: It is where the learner tries to understand what is
happening even if he/she cannot understand every phrase or sentence.
The learner is trying to pick up key words, intonation, and other clues so
76
as to make a guess at the meaning.
Listening for detail: We do this when we need to understand practically
everything.

Subtopics 1. Homophones
2. Discourse Marker
3. BBC Interview
4. Obama Speech
Instruction Topic 1 :Summary
(10 Minutes) Share following information with trainee teachers about how to write a
summary.
A summary is condensed version of a larger reading. A summary is not a
rewrite of the original piece and does not have to be long.
To write a summary, use your own words to express briefly the main idea
and relevant details of the piece you have read.
While reading the original work, take note of what or who is the focus and
ask the usual questions that reporters use: Who? What? When? Where?
Why? How? Using these questions to examine what you are reading can
help you to write the summary.
Sometimes, the central idea of the piece is stated in the introduction or
first paragraph, and the supporting ideas of this central idea are presented
one by one in the following paragraphs. Always read the introductory
paragraph thoughtfully and look for a thesis statement. Finding the thesis
statement is like finding a key to a locked door. Frequently, however, the
thesis, or central idea, is implied or suggestive. Thus, you will have to
work harder to figure out what the author wants readers to understand.
Use any hints that may shed light on the meaning of the piece: pay
attention to the title and any headings and to the opening and closing
lines of paragraphs.
See activity -1 in practice session. (10 minutes)
Topic 2: Retelling
Share with the trainee teachers the following information.
Retelling is a strategy that is used to determine how well a student has
comprehended a specific story. Retelling can be used as an effective tool
in improving comprehension as well as assessing it (Jennings, Caldwell, &
Lerner, 2014, p. 268). During a retelling, teachers gain insight as to how
students are putting together the information offered in a text. When
students' understanding of a text is observed and analyzed during
retelling, teachers discover what information students remember and
deem as important.
According to Jennings, Caldwell, & Lerner (2014), to begin a retelling,
inform the student he or she will retell a story after it is read (p. 268).
Then, have the student read the text. After reading, ask the student to tell
about the story as if he or she was telling it to someone who had never
read it. Once the student has finished retelling the information he or she
remembers from the story, you may ask the student to elaborate on
certain parts. Jennings, Caldwell, & Lerner (2014) state, "this prompting is
important for low-achieving readers, because they often know more about
a story than they will tell in a free recall" (p. 268).
Leslie and Caldwell (2001) and Caldwell and Leslie (2008) describe
guidelines for evaluating a retelling. Retellings should include:
a. Presence of the major character(s)
b. Defining characteristics of the characters
c. Problem presented in the story
d. Solution to that problem (or the end)
e. Events presented in sequential order
Ask the teachers to practice such activities in their classrooms
Ask them to consult LMS for further details where they will find
informative articles and videos on the topic
Topic 3: Role-play (10 minus)
Share with the trainee teachers that Role play is the act of imitating the
character and behaviour of someone who is different from yourself, for
example as a training exercise
See activity 3 practice session. (05 minutes)
Topic 4: Preposition (05 minutes)
Share following information with trainee teaches.
83
A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other
words within a sentence. Prepositions are usually short words, and they
are normally placed directly in front of nouns.
Across, After, Against, Along. in, on, over etc
Ask trainee teachers to see practice activities in LMS.
Topic 5: “Wh” question (05 minutes)
Share with trainee teachers that question like: who, what, when, etc. are
called “Wh” questions.
Sub Topic 1: Phoneme & Homophones (05 minutes)
Share following definitions with trainee teachers.
Definition of Phoneme: a member of the set of the smallest units of
speech that serve to distinguish one utterance from another in a
language or dialect. the \p\ of English pat and the \f\ of English fat are
two different phonemes. Homophones are two or more words (such as
knew and new or meat and meet) that are pronounced the same but
differ in meaning, origin, and often spelling.
Now ask them to write two phonemes and two homophones and share
with the class.
Sub topic 2: Discourse Marker
Share with trainee teachers that Discourse markers are words or phrases
like anyway, right, okay, as I say, to begin with. We use them to connect,
organise and manage what we say or write or to express attitude:
Ask the trainee teachers to See LMS for further details.
Sub topic 3 & 4: BBC Interview &Obama Speech
Ask trainee teachers to watch LMS for the purpose.
Practice Activity -1 Summary Skills
(10 minutes) Ask the trainee teacher to read the paragraph and write its summary.
“Oceans and lakes have much in common, but they are also quite
different. Both are bodies of water, but oceans are very large bodies of
salt water, while lakes are much smaller bodies of fresh water. Lakes are
usually surrounded by land, while oceans are what surround continents.
Both have plants and animals living in them. The ocean is home to the
largest animals on the planet, whereas lakes support much smaller forms
of life. When it is time for a vacation, both will make a great place to visit
and enjoy.”
Ask trainee teachers to practice such activities in their classrooms as well.
Activity 2: Role Play (10 minutes)
Make 04 groups of the participants.
Ask them to prepare role plays on the following situations.
A father meeting the principal and discussing his son’s result

can guess the meaning of a word from the other words in the sentence.
See activity-1 in practice session.
Sub topic 3: Literal Questions (10 minutes)
Share following information with trainee teachers.
Defining Literal Questions
Literal questions require concrete, straightforward answers. Answers to
literal questions are always facts, and there is always one correct answer.
In reading comprehension exercises, answers to literal questions can
always be found in the text. Answers to literal questions might shed light
on the “who, what, when or where”.
For example, some questions and activities may include:
a. What words state the main idea of the story?
b. How does the author summarize what she/he is saying?
c. Outlining the first paragraph of the story.
d. What happened first, second and last?
e. How are these things alike?
f. How are they different?
See activity 2 in practice session.
Practice Activity no 1: Guessing Words and its Strategies
(20 minutes) Ask the trainee teachers to read the following paragraph and guess
meaning of the underlined words.
Whenever you read extended texts in English, you will come across words
which you do not know. Even native speakers will not know all the words
when they are reading. Your instinct is probably to look up the unfamiliar
words in a dictionary. If you do this for each word, however, it will take
you a great deal of time, and you may never reach the end of the text.
Ask the trainee teachers to practice such activities in their classrooms also
to develop contextual guessing abilities of the students.
Activity 2: Literal Questions (20 minutes)
Ask the trainee teachers to make pairs.
Ask them to read the following paragraph and develop 3 literal question.
Catching a Thief
I saw a man climbing up a water pipe. He had a knife in his hand. I hit his
hand with a brick. He fell down on the ground and I jumped upon him.
Soon others reached there and we handed him over to the police.
After taking their responses ask the trainee teachers to practice the same
activity in their classrooms.
Assessment Ask the trainee teachers the following questions:
a. What do you know about extensive reading?
(10 minutes) b. What is meant by intensive reading?
c. What do we do when we skim a paragraph?
d. What is the purpose of scanning while we read a text?
e. How we guess words from the context?
