Monday Sep 3 - Listening comprehension & reading out load

Aim:

1. Listening comprehension. ("Understand different types of clear, authentic speech, in various circumstances")

2. Reading comprehension. ("...read fiction [...] different genres...")

3. Pronunciation, flow, intonation. ("in different situations be able to introduce and actively participate in different kinds of oral communication [...] use English flexibly, for a purpose [...] formally and informally")

Tasks:

1. Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbnFJVgBcw0. Then write a short (no more than half a page) summary of what you've heard. You can of course listen to it many times, and ASK FOR HELP whenever you want. Publish the text in your blog, or send it to me in an email.

2. Work in pairs and take turns reading this text out loud to each other. Consider your pair a 'problem solving unit' when it comes to both pronunciation and understanding. Last but not least, decide how this text grades on the green/yellow/red scale.
