This document outlines an approach for teaching language in context using a text. It involves presenting the target language through a text to provide examples of how it is used naturally. Students are guided to deduce meaning from the text rather than being directly taught. The presentation involves arousing student interest, pre-teaching vocabulary, having students read for gist and details, modeling pronunciation and drilling exercises to practice the language in context. The goal is for students to independently use the target language patterns from authentic examples in the text.

1. Presented by: Fella Boudjema, CELTA holder

2.  Language contextualised
 Clear model, Meaning, Form, Pronunciation and
Appropriacy (MFPA) are contextualised.
 Develops students meaning deduction from the
text rather than spoon feeding them.
 The context can cover all the forms.i.e. Positive &
negative sentences, and questions.

3.  The text covers the target language (TL)
 The text covers the main function of the TL
 The text can generate other examples of the TL
 The text gives the students the right pattern to use
independently
 The TL is naturally used, contractions,...
 The text is useful for verbs patterns, phrasal verbs
use, prepositions,... Which all need a
contextualised example to be correctly used.

4.  Before the presentation:
◦ Arouse students’ interest in the TL via a text,
◦ Pre-teach vital lexis to understand the text.
 The presentation: Step 1/ Gist
◦ Stimulate interest in the text,
◦ Set a question/task for gist,
◦ Students have a brisk reading to answer the question for
gist,
◦ Students check their answer(s) in pairs; then, as a class,
◦ Give feedback on the question for gist,

5. The presentation: Step 2/ Details and
MFP
◦ Elicit marker sentence
◦ Model- 1st
time
◦ Highlight the spoken form and pronunciation
◦ Check the concept/ 1st
time
◦ Model- 2nd
time
◦ Drill chorally, then in groups, then individually for each
marker sentence
◦ Provide a substitute table for students to record
◦ Check the concept/ 2nd
time
