Suggestions
When you put students into pairs to
complete these exercises, make sure they
respect the role assigned, i.e. Student A
and Student B.
Make sure students fully understand the
instructions before starting each stage of
a task.
When students are doing exercises that
prepare them for speaking activities,
(forming questions, or reading texts and
tables), go around the class offering help
and support, and checking students
form questions correctly or understand
the texts or tables. With weaker classes,
you may wish to check answers or
understanding as a class.
When students are doing the speaking
exercises, go around the class offering
support without interfering with the
flow of the exercise. You may also wish to
make a (mental) note of any frequent or
common errors to review as a class once
the activity is finished.
Allow students to use Spanish when
discussing how to do the task, but insist
on English when students ask and answer
questions to complete the exercises.

Suggestions
When you put students into pairs to
complete these exercises, make sure they
respect the role assigned, i.e. Student A and
Student B.
Make sure students fully understand the
instructions before starting each stage of
a task.
When students are doing exercises that
prepare them for speaking activities,
(forming questions, or reading texts and
tables), go around the class offering help
and support, and checking students form
questions correctly or understand the texts
or tables. With weaker classes, you may
wish to check answers or understanding as
a class.
When students are doing the exercises, go
around the class offering support without
interfering with the flow of the exercise. You
may also wish to make a (mental) note of
any frequent or common errors to review as
a class once the activity is finished.
Allow students to use Spanish when
discussing how to do the task, but insist
on English when students ask and answer
questions to complete the exercises.
