SUGESTÃO DE ATIVIDADES: LISTENING.

Essa atividade serve para os níveis iniciais e para ser utilizada quando o tema for nacionalidades (nationalities).

É bem simples: O professor ler o texto e depois entrega somente as perguntas para os alunos. Antes de iniciar a leitura, peça para os alunos focarem a atenção na pronuncia das nacionalidades e países.

Essa atividade é simples e não exige muito preparo do professor. Apenas temos que observar aqui, a necessidade da pronuncia na hora da leitura. O professor pode ainda pedir para os alunos reescreverem o texto trocando apenas as nacionalidades e o nome dos países.

Lembrem-se sempre que as atividades devem ser um pouco desafiadoras. Você pode dizer o nome dos países e pedir para os alunos darem as nacionalidades. Outra sugestão é falar o nome de famosos e pedir para completarem com suas nacionalidades. Nesse caso, lembre-se de ativar os conhecimentos prévios dos pupilos.
