Editor's Notes
- #2 Lesson 1.3 For this lesson, you will need: this PowerPoint presentation time for lesson: 45 minutes You will need: this slide Time: 1–2 minutes F2F classes Welcome students (Ss) to the class by asking them social questions as they enter the classroom and get settled, e.g., How are you? How’s your day? Show this slide and tell Ss to focus on the photo. Ask them to describe what the woman is doing. Read the title of the lesson and the objective. Virtual classes Welcome students (Ss) to the class by asking them social questions as they join the lesson, e.g., How are you? How’s your day? This will encourage Ss to activate their microphones or use the chat box, which will help you identify and troubleshoot any technical problems before the lesson begins. Show this slide and tell Ss to focus on the photo. Ask them to describe what the woman is doing. Have Ss write their ideas in the chat box. Read the title of the lesson and the objective.

- #4 Stage 1: GET STARTED (slide 3) Aim: activate the topic of the lesson You will need: this slide Time: 4 minutes F2F classes Whole class: Read the instructions and questions on the slide. Model response for Ss by telling them how you prefer to communicate and why you think it’s best. Ask Who prefers to communicate with family and friends via text? Ask Ss for a show of hands. Repeat for email, video chat, and phone. Call on individual Ss to give reasons for their preferences. Virtual classes Whole class: Read the instructions and questions on the slide. Model response for Ss by telling how you prefer to communicate and why you think it’s best. Tell Ss to write their preferences in the chat box.

- #5 Stage 2: LISTENING (slide 4) Aims: listen for opinions express opinions and agree / disagree strongly You will need: this slide Time: 7 minutes F2F classes Whole class: Read the instructions and questions on the slide. Explain to Ss that they will now listen to a conversation between two co-workers Shawn and Lorena. (Ss already worked with this listening in the asynchronous course, but they will now be using the audio and ideas to develop more speaking skills.) Tell Ss to look at the photo. Ask if they can identify the device (a fax machine) and tell what it does. If necessary, explain that a fax machine is an older technology that allows people to scan copies of documents and send them to others over a telephone line. Play the audio. Play it again, if necessary. Ask What are their opinions about technology in the workplace? Elicit answers from the class. Encourage them to use phrases from the box in their responses. Confirm understanding. Ask Do you agree more with Shawn or Lorena? Why? Encourage them to use phrases from the box in their responses. Call on two or three volunteers to share their opinions. Tell Ss to raise their hands if they agree with the speaker. Answers: Lorena thinks we get too many useless emails that waste our time. She believes fax machines could be a possible solution. Shawn didn’t think using fax machines would solve the problem because it wasted people’s time waiting in line and it wasted paper.

Call on two or three volunteers to activate their microphones and share their ideas with the class. Encourage them to use phrases from the box in their responses. Instruct the other Ss to use their voting buttons to say whether they agree or disagree with the speaker. Answers: Lorena thinks we get too many useless emails that waste our time. She believes fax machines could be a possible solution. Shawn didn’t think using fax machines would solve the problem because it wasted people’s time waiting in line and it wasted paper. Audio script Lorena Did you get any emails this morning? Shawn No. Lorena Me neither. Shawn That’s strange. Lorena Yeah, my inbox is usually full by this time in the morning. I wonder if the server’s down. Shawn Probably. When it comes to technology, you can rely on the server to be unreliable. Lorena Actually, if nobody’s emailing me, and I can’t send emails, I can get some real work done. Result! Shawn That’s so true. How many emails are we copied into every day when we don’t need to be? Lorena Too many. Shawn It’s such a waste of time. Lorena You can say that again. Shawn All this technology was supposed to help us be more efficient, but it’s become terribly time-consuming instead. Lorena I couldn’t agree more. Let’s ban email and go back to pen and paper. Shawn Right on, sister. We could use phones again for what they were invented to do – making phone calls. Lorena Why stop there? Let’s bring back fax machines. Shawn Fax machines. Now there’s a blast from the past. I hate emails too, but I’m not sure going back to the fax machine is the answer. I remember the line of people waiting to use the single fax machine we had in our office in my first ever job. If the guy in front of you was sending a thirty-page document . . . that was pretty frustrating. And don’t forget about all that paper! Looking at the big picture, I think email isn’t that bad. Lorena Generally speaking, you could be right . . . Shawn Is there going to be a “but”? Lorena Here’s my theory: people usually choose the easy option. Right? Shawn Uh-huh. Lorena Many emails are sent because it’s an easy solution to a problem. Something doesn’t work? Tell ten people about it. It’s easier than trying to work out why the thing doesn’t work. Can’t find a document that was sent to you two weeks ago? Email someone, because it’s quicker to do than looking for the original document. What I mean is, people are lazy, and email helps with that. Shawn I see your point. But, overall, if I had to choose between an inbox full of useless emails and a line at the fax machine, I think I’d still choose email. Lorena Have it your way! So, we should let IT know about the server. Shawn Yeah. Should we call them or write a letter?
- #6 Stage 3: PREPARE FOR SPEAKING (slides 5–6) Aim: listen for and practice main stress Total time for stage: 6 minutes You will need: this slide Time: 3 minutes F2F classes Whole class: Read the instructions and questions on the slide. Play the audio. Elicit answers from the class. Remind Ss that English does not stress every word equally and speech is broken up into different word groups with each group containing a main, stressed word. Read the last line of the conversation aloud to model the stressed words and have the class repeat. Answer: The words are stressed because they represent the main information the speaker wants to communicate. They are said louder, longer, and with a change of pitch.
