16. Problem: The lesson fails to help the students to improve their reading skills, because it focuses totally on the meanings and uses of individual words or sentence patterns.
Solution: The teacher is suggested to divide the class into three stages. In the pre-reading stage, the teacher can engage the students in some speaking activities to help them predict the contents of the text. Thus arouses their interests in the text and, more importantly, gives them a purpose for reading--checking the predictions. Such activities can also activate the students’ schemata about the topic that can facilitate their understanding of the text. Or it is necessary, the teacher can provide the students with the background information or list of new words to help remove potential cultural or language barriers. In the while-reading stage, the teacher can design activities to develop the students’ skills of skimming, scanning, reading for detail or inferring. They can help the students to comprehend the text not only at the linguistic level but also at the contextual and rhetorical levels. The teacher can also design some post-reading activities which offer the students the opportunities of using freely the language they learnt from the text in speaking or writing con texts.
17. Problem: The lesson started with the third stage of the PPP Model--the stage of production but skipped the two important stages before it--the stages of presentation and practice.
Solution: Before the students are asked to talk freely about a topic, they should have relevant language input. Therefore, on the stage of presentation the teacher can introduce to them some vocabulary or some reading/listening materials related to the topic and introduce to them some useful sentence patterns of stating opinions, presenting reasons, expressing agreement, etc. The teacher is then expected to give the students the opportunities to use the newly-presented language items in a controlled framework. This may be done by drills or prompted short dialogues. The focus of this practice stage should be on accuracy and therefore any language errors, once spotted, should be corrected immediately. Finally comes the stage of production where the students do the activities, like the group discussion in this case, to experiment with the new language items freely and creatively. Since this stage is intended to develop fluency, the teacher should refrain from frequently interrupting a student who is speaking for immediate correction.
18. Problem: The teacher should not stop the tape time and again to explain a word or information point, because this is not the way people listen in real life
Solution: Anticipating some language or information barriers the students are likely to encounter in the process of listening, the teacher can design some pre-listening activities to get the students ready for the contents and language of the text. An alternative is to have the students do some inferring activities while they are listening. In this way they can not only have a purpose for listening, but also develop their ability of making inferences based on the contextual cues.
19. Problem: The teacher only performed the role of a manager but neglected some
