AI Introduction

Ipfq 1.A BasicInstantLesson

Ed
This book is called Instant Grammar Lessonsand it can be used in exactly that way. Here is a
very simple, straightforward way to createimmediate lessons:

T..c l. Copy a pageof the book (1 copyper student).

c: 2. Giveout thepages.

L>:

3. Let the studentscompletethe exercise.

I 4. Correctthe work in class.

l 5. If you wish, copy and distributefor

-JGN homeworkor extrapracticethe follow-up

Lrl exercisewhich is availablefor eachunit.

In'- !

hd That's it - an instant grammar lesson.But lnstant Grammar Lessonshas been designedto be
I.csl
usedmuch more imaginativelythan the above absolutelyinstant lesson.Each unit has been
IT
carefullydesignedto provide classroompracticewhich is:
I"!.j
interactive spontaneous lively learner-centred
I
Used in this wa¡ it will be much more effectivein helpinglearnersuse,practiseand, most

importantl¡ retain the target language.To get theseadditional benefits,teachersneed to spend

a short time preparingthe worksheetsand explainingto the classthe basicinteractive

methodologywhich will ensurelearnersget m¿lximumbenefitfrom their classtirne.This is

developedin Section4 of thesenotes.

2.TheContents

lnstant Grammar Lessonscontains:

32 units of photocopiableclassroommaterialsto activateessentiagl rammar
Follow-up grammar homework for each lessonto consolidaterarget structures
Full teachers'instructionsand answerkey

,-. ,.¡r

The lessonsare grouped into five sections:

Section1: SequencingActivities

Learnerswork together to reconstructnarratives,compositions and letters,using link words
and phrasesto help them. In some casesthey also have to make choicesof tenseand
grammaticalisethe sentencesbefore they put them in order.

Section2: MatchingActivities

Learnersread out sentenceheadsand tails to each other and try to reach agreementon
possibleand probablematches. Learnerspractisecombining words into word partnerships
and clausesinto sentences.

Section3: RephrasingActivities

Learnersreformulate sentencesusing important grammar patterns such as modal and
reporting verbs.

Section4: CompletionActivities

Learnersuse both real-world knowledge and structural awarenessto complete sentences
logicallyand grammatically. Acceptabilityof the completedsentenceiss negotiatedwithin the
gr o up .

Section5: DictationActivities

Learnerslisten to the teacheror a partner reading out sentenceswhich contain important
word partnerships.They note down important partnershipsA. reascoveredincludecommon
verbssuchas do, haue, and take, phrasalverbsand prepositionalphrases.

3.A BroaderViewof Grammar

Instant Grammar Lessonscoversall the essentialareasof grammar at an intermediate and
post-intermediatelevel. This makes it the ideal supplementto a Cambridge First Certificate or
similar course. Target structuresinclude:

past & presenttenses

future forms

modal verbs

conditionals

reportedspeech

the passive

But not all the grammar an intermediate learner needsis about sentenceformation. \Word

grammar,the ability to build natural phrasesand expressionsfrom known words, is also

extremely important. So too is discoursegrammar, an awarenessof how sentencesare linked

together into paragraphsand whole texts. :
\ülord and discoursegrammar focusedon in Instant Grammar Lessonsinclude:

word partnershipsor collocations: balanceddiet, fatal accident
common verbs usedin many word partnerships: have and get, give and take
contextualizedphrasalverbs: look forward to (an event),get over (a bad experience)
reporting verbs and their grammar: agreethat, d,oubtuhether, askabout
prepositionalphrases: at first, in particular,on purpose
sequencingand linking expressions: after a while, a few weeks before, on the whole

l:C 4. An lnteractiveLesson

:l The materials in Instant Grammar Lessonsare designedto be used in classso that the
grammar practiceis basedon livel¡ spontaneouso, ral activities.In everycase,this is then
:t consolidatedby extra written practicewith new examplesof the samegrammar point. This
extra practiceprovidesinstanthomework. It also ensuresthat learnershave a permanent
IT record and clear idea of what they have learnedin eachlesson.

tIt rtttt tl 1. Make copiesof the photocopiablepageswith the target language.Most of these
pagesare designedto be cut up into strips, cards etc.

2. Preparea suitablenumber of stripsor cardsfor your class.
3. Put learnersinto small groupsof 2-5 learners;sometimesthe number of groups (for

exarnplean evennumber of groups)is important. The LessonNotes give detailed
suggestions.
4. Explain that, in most cases,the learnersare given stripsor cardswhich contain part
of something-part of a letter,a sentencea, nd so on. Their task is to reconstruct,
match or completea whole, usingthe languageon their strip or card and their
knowledgeof grarnmar.
5. In most cases,individual learnersread out what is on their card and othersrespond
spont¿lneousloyrally by contributing suggestionsT. hesesuggestionsare basedon
either their own card, or suggestionsfor appropriatelanguagebasedon their
knowledgeof grammar.The most important part of the practiceis the processof
suggestingg, uessinga, nd revisingthe suggestionsto take accountof other suggestions.
Thesesuggestionsg,uesses(right and wrong), and revisionsof the suggestionsare
more valuableto the learnersthan the more obvioustarget of "getting the right
answer". The teachermonitors the activit¡ without helping or correctingat this
stage.
6. Learnersagreeon a "best suggestion"--the most likely order,the bestcompletionsor
whatever. Theseare reviewed as a whole classactivity.
7. The teachergivesfeedbackand any extra information.
8. The follow-up worksheetcan be copiedand distributed,one per student,a, s written
consolidation,a permanentrecord,or homework.

5. PracticaTl ips

Workingin Groups

Instant Grammar Lessonsworks best with learnerswho are used to working independentlyin
groups. If yclurclassis not usedto working in this way, start by doing one of the activities
with a smallgroup yourselfin front of the restof the class. '$lhenthey havegot the idea,let
them all try the sameactivity themselves.
The more people there are in each group the more discussionthere will be. Three to five
people per group is ideal. More than five in a group may make reaching a consensusdifficult.

Timing
This dependson the ability and levelof the studentsS. ettingup the activity,the activityitself
and any follow-up shouldtake about 30-45 mins.The activitywill be most effectiveif it is
spontaneousin, teractiveand lively- so try to maintaina briskpace.

Correction

The Instant Lessonsactivities are designedto be learner-corrected. Someteachersmay want
to intervenein group work if learnersare going badly astra¡ but, as a rule, correctionand

reformulation of errors is bestdone as feedbackafter the activity. Put someof the incorrect
languageyou heard when you were monitoring on the board. Can anyoneremembersaying
it? Can they seewhat is wrong with it now? Can anyoneelse?

Revision

Someof the activitiescan be usedmore than once so learnersgain confidenceand a real
degreeof fluencywith the grammar beingpractised.
You may like to repeat an activity later in a courseto give learnersa chanceto recyclethe
languagethey have had difficulty with. An activity repeatedlike this may only take a few
minutes.

Variations
TherearedetailedLessonby Lesson oteswhichincludesuggestionfosr alternative

proceduresand follow-up work.

Copies

If you can photocopy the materialsonto card and laminatethe cardsor strips,this will
significantly prolong the life of the materials.

Re-usingstrips

When you collect the jumbled texts, give eachgroup a paper clip to put round their set of
stripsso that you can usethe stripsagain.

_l In fact, everything went much better than he had expected,and a few
hours later he was approaching the outskirts of York.

Next, he set off to look round the cathedral and all the other historic
,l buildings.

To beginwith, he thoughtit had beenstolenand immediatelyset off to
call the policebut thenhe noticedthat the adjoining streetslooked very
similar.

Even though it was late September,York was packed with tourists and,
as a result,all the centralcar parks were full.

Finall¡ when Joe had got tired of sightseeingh, e returnedto where he
had left his car. To his surprise,it was nowhereto be seen.

J 10 Fortunatel¡ the traffic was not too heavyand and, evenbetter,the
weatherwas perfect. Soonhe was nearingthe city centre.

This storyall beganwhenAnna visitedLondon. Shehad only arrived
1 in Nottingham a few weekspreviouslyand her Englishstill wasn't

very fluent.

Although it was late November,London was packedwith tourists and
consequentl¡ there was a long queueat the taxi rank.

At first, shethought shemight have missedthe last train and set off at
once to find the information office, but then shenoticed the station
architecturewas different.

4 Then shesetoff to do somesightseeing.

S Despiteher poor English,shewas determinedto go on a day rrip to

London by traln.

A Anna decidedto take the Underground and sometime later shewas
standingby the river on the Embankment.

Eventuall¡ when Anna had got tired of looking at historic buildings,she
made her way back to the station. Much to her surprise,shecouldn't see
any trains going back to Nottingham.

I Actuall¡ it all went much better than shehad expected,and after an hour

or so the train was approachingthe outskirts of London.

It was King's Crossstation,not St. Pancras. Shehad taken the wrong
exit out of the Underground. After shehad searchedthe subwa¡ she
found St. Pancrasand naturally felt very relieved but rather silly.

Luckil¡ her train arrivedat St. Pancrasstation exactly on time, and better
10 still,it wasn'training. It wasn't long beforeshewas looking for a raxi
