His grandson is asking Mr. Harris what life was like in the 1940s, when Mr. Harris was a boy. Work in groups of four and together try to guess ten words which you think you will hear in this conversation. Write down the ten words in your notebook.” Learners listen to the dialogue to check how many words they guessed. (adapted from TANNER, R.; GREEN, C.

When I teach reading, I like my learners to use the other skills, too. I do various things. For example, before reading a passage, my learners discuss the topic or think about vocabulary they might find in the text; or they listen to a short passage on a related topic and discuss it. At the reading stage, I make sure to spell out why they are reading. We read the passage more than once, each time with a new task. The learners fill in a chart, or match pictures to paragraphs or answer true/false questions. Finally, I save enough time for a follow-up, like a role-play or group work where the learners write a different ending or discuss the issue in the text. (TANNER, R.; GREEN, C. Tasks for Teacher Education: a reflective approach. Essex:Longman, 1998, p. 61). [adapted]
