Aim
– to enhance the students' cognitive awareness of the role, form
and meaning of adverbs and adverbials and facilitate their use.
1. formal instruction
-- the connection between adj. and adv., classification of adv. based
on form. Students are given handouts containing the information
printed from the exercise session of lecture 8, the link to adverbs,
which, in a very simple form, introduces the types of adv. on the
basis of their formation from adj. The order is: ly, the same as
adj., irregulars. In the following discussion the students
are encouraged to add examples of their own.
2. short controlled
practice -- handouts with sample sentences illustrating the transformation
of adj., similar to the sentences shown on p. 332 in the practice
section but incorporating all the varieties of adv.(any grammar
with exercises shows a lot of examples)
3. consolidating
receptive stage-- focus on use of adv. as modifying activities,
adjectives and other adverbs. Students are given newspapers,
magazines, or copies of articles and the task is to identify the
adverbs, their type and use. That stage is used to draw the
students attention to adverbials of time, space, manner, reason,
their difference from single – word adverbs is pointed out, position
variations are discussed. The examples in the newspaper are
backed up by the information on p. 336, and a word order exercise,
similar to D p. 339 is done
4. Integrated skills
-- task:
you saw an accident on your way back home. Describe it and
your reaction to it; include adv. and advl. and be ready to explain
and justify their form and use. Depending on the level of the
particular group, we can give them the beginning: At 5 yesterday
evening, I was slowly driving home... variation:(more skills involved,
but more controlled) The teacher saw an accident, the students ask
questions to get
inf. about it, take notes, and write a description.
5. kind of evaluation
stage – students exchange stories in pairs and discuss adv. use
and form in closed pairs, the teacher moving around, ready to join
in , if asked.
