Question: a) Look at the text below and identify 5 lexical items (phrasal verbs, collocations or phrases) that you could focus on for language learning

Question: b) Justify your choice of lexical items. Relate this as much as you can to the teaching context to explain why these items will be useful for this group of students.

Question: c) Analyse the items in terms of the different aspects of word knowledge covered on this module, making sure you cover key aspects of meaning/use, form and phonology. Outline how you might clarify the meaning/use in class, giving examples of clarification techniques, questions and patterns.

Question: d) Explain your teaching/learning aims in relation to these lexical items. For example, are you teaching them for passive recognition or productive use? Will you explore these items as part of the pre-reading or in a focused post-reading language stage? If you intend to enable the students to use the lexis in a productive stage, what kind of task will this be?

Question: e) Select one or two grammatical structures/items in the article and discuss how you could use this text to help learners understand the form and function of this area of grammar. Consider also whether the grammatical item is a key feature of this genre.

Question: f) Briefly outline the teaching and learning activities that you could use to exploit the lexis and grammar in the article, e.g. would you use a discovery technique or do a brief presentation? Would you provide controlled practice and/or a more communicative task? Note you do not have to design any reading tasks, but you can briefly outline ideas to support your description and rationale for the language focus stages.
