Assignment B – Teacher Language
This document should not be more than 3 pages long, including this page; approximately 700-1000
words in total.
a) Presentation
You do not need to show the entire presentation, but show us some of the language you would use to
elicit the target language from the context you have chosen, elicit the form, and concept check.

Show the Actual Words you would use for:

i) Eliciting the Target Language from the Context


… (having shown the 2 pictures)
T: Very good, can you think of a possible connection between these two pictures?
S1: Zaheer wants to buy Xbox?
T: Yes! He dreams of buying it. But his family doesn’t have a lot of money. So he is waiting for the next Eid so
that he has a lot of cash.
T: Can someone make me a sentence for this situation using the present tense (pointing at the Eidi picture)?
S2: Zaheer get a lot of cash on Eid?
T: Almost there, but the verb get when we use it for 3rd person singular, do you remember how we conjugate it?
S1: gets?
T: Excellent Fahim! So we have (writing on the board Zaheer gets a lot of cash) …in place of ‘on Eid’ if we say
it with Eidi, how can we write it?
S2: as Eidi?
T: Very good Shehreen! Please complete the sentence.
S2: Zaheer gets a lot of cash as Eidi.
T: Now let's make a sentence for this situation in the future (pointing at Xbox picture).
S1: Zaheer buying Xbox?
T: Try using the auxiliary for a future time. Anyone?
S3: Zaheer will buy Xbox?
T: Good job Sumaiya! (Write the elicited clause on the right side of ‘Zaheer gets a lot of cash as Eidi’) So now
we have two situations here. Imagine (pointing at first picture) this doesn’t happen. Can this happen then
(pointing at the second picture)?
Class: No!
T: So how can we make one sentence from these?
Class: blank

T: (Pointing at the beginning of the conditional clause) Putting one word here can help you. Try thinking about
the relationship between this and this (pointing at the two sentences).
Class: blank
T: Ok, let me help you a bit more (with an encouraging smile), in Bangla the word is ‘jodi’.
S1: Oh! So the word is ‘if’?
T: Maybe, try saying the full sentence using if.
S1: If Zaheer gets a lot of cash as Eidi Zaheer will buy the latest Xbox.
T: (Looking at everyone) Does this sentence mean anything to you?
S2: It means Zaheer must get a lot of Eidi, then he can buy Xbox.
T: Excellent work you two (looking at Fahim and Shereen). (Now write if before the conditional clause and join
the two clauses by putting the comma). Ask the students does it sound natural to always say Zaheer or can we
use a pronoun.
ii) Eliciting the Form
T: If a sentence has several parts, what do we call each part?
S1: Clause?
T: Yes! So how many clauses did we just use for this sentence?
S2: 2.
T: Good and what do we call this clause (pointing at main clause), and this one (pointing at conditional clause)?
Class: blank
T: As you mentioned earlier, this clause depends on this clause to happen (pointing at main and then conditional
clause)?
Class: yes.
T: So this is the condition, in Bangla we call it ‘shorto’. If the condition happens, then this (pointing at the main
clause) happens or results. We call this the main clause.
T: Please notice that we are using ‘if’ to form the condition. If + subject + which present tense did we use?
S4: Present simple!
T: Very good Mustakim! So (going back to the board) If + subject + present simple, subject + ‘will’ + infinitive
T: This is how we make this grammatical structure which is known as the first conditional.

iii) Concept Checking


T: Has Zaheer received his Eidi?
Class: Not yet.
T: When are we talking about? Present or future?
S2: Future.
T: Good. So what grammatical structure did we just say this is?
Class: First conditional.

T: Good, we use it to talk about future events which are likely to happen depending on a condition. If the
condition happens, then there is a good possibility for the result to happen. Imagine that Zaheer doesn’t get a lot
of Eidi. Can he still buy the latest Xbox?
Class: No.
T: Can someone make me a sentence for this? It’s in the negative form.
S3: If Zaheer doesn’t get enough Eidi, he will not buy the latest Xbox.
T: Excellent Sumaiya! If Zaheer doesn’t get a lot of cash for Eidi, he won’t (showing contraction with 2 fingers,
will not with fingers in V form and then won’t while joining the 2 fingers (Walsh, L. n.d.) buy the latest Xbox.

B) Instructions to ONE of the Activities in your Lesson


Freer Practice Activity
T: Ok everyone, please get into groups of 3.

S2: 3 students together sir? (Teachers are called sir and madam traditionally in Bangladesh)

T: Yes 3 people in each group. We will now do a speaking activity. But first, you need to create some sentences
individually. They will help you when you speak to each other. Look at the worksheet (distributing the
worksheets at the same time). There’s an example given. Using the situations on the left column, make an
affirmative conditional sentence that’s true to you. Below that, write the question form using the conditional
(pointing to the respective parts with a spare worksheet in hand), as you can see in the example. You have 4
minutes to finish the affirmative sentences and to make the questions.

T: Ok, will we speak first or do the task in the worksheet first?

S4: Task in the worksheet!

T: Good. How many affirmative sentences do we make for each situation?

S1: One!

T: Do we also have to make a question form of it?

S7: Yes.

T: Good! so you have understood the task well. Your 4 minutes start now.
----------------------
T: Ok time's up (popular expression in Dhaka)! Now we’ll do the speaking activity. You have to speak to your
group members naturally. You ask them questions that you wrote. Hear (gesture the ear) what they have to
respond. They can also ask you the same question that you’ve written and asked them. In this case, you already
have the answer to that, written in your worksheet (point to the corresponding space in the worksheet). But for
the questions that your partners wrote, you’ll have to think (gesturing to different students to make it easier to
understand the instruction). Don’t be too serious about this task. Be relaxed and have a friendly chat! But be
realistic. Samanza let’s do an example to show to the class.

1145 words excluding the instructions in the format
