Teacher’s Guide:
Say:
For Pronunciation and Vocabulary Part:

• (Circle vocabulary words on the left side for emphasis) Now these are the new words and expressions that we have just learned form the
conversation/dialog that we have just read. I want you to use it in a sentence. (Praise the student in every sentences that she is able to give and give
timely correction every after sentences made.)
• Circle the words on the right side for emphasis) Now we have here another set of words that are more useful to use when we will be making
sentences or expressing our ideas about food. I will read them first you listen and say the word after I read it. (Give timely correction for
pronunciation mistakes)

For Comprehension Part:

• Do you understand all the words that we have just read? Are there any words that you don’t understand? (explain in the simplest manner words that
students don’t understand)
• Let us try to use those words and expressions in a sentence. (Give timely correction for mistakes in grammar for the sentence given by thes tudent)

Note:
• If you can sense that the student is capable of expressing his or herself ask to give another sentence in each words and expressions learned.
Teacher’s Guide:
Say:
• Now that you have learned new words and expressions already, let us try to use those words and expressions in answering the following questions in
this page.
o Allow students to have free talk in this part but teach them how to correctly give their responses with each question, encourage to follow the
format of ANSWER + EXPLANATION + CONCLUSION in a simplest manner. This will give them a glimpse of how they will be taught on their
grammar skills.
o Always remind the student of the correct way of giving first sentence in answering question. For example if student will be asked of question
such as “What is your name?” the answer should be “My name is _______________”. This will be the simplest example that we could give to
our student for them to understand the format of answering question accurately.
