Activities List

 


In Other Words

Aim:

to train students to recognise paraphrase

Target Audience:

students

Relevance to KET:

Listening Parts 1, 2 and 3; Reading Part 6

Organisation:

pairs

Materials needed:

worksheet

1. Print out the worksheet and make enough copies so that half the class have the part labelled Student A and half have Student B. You may want to allow some time for students to go through their worksheets together, to check that they understand and can pronounce everything that is written there.

2. Pair the students so that there is one person with Student A and one with Student B in each pair.

3. Explain that the task is to match each word on student sheet A with a phrase on sheet B.

4. A student with A chooses a word from her/his worksheet and reads it aloud. A student with B selects the phrase on his/her sheet which corresponds and reads it out.

5. If both agree that it is a match, each student writes down the relevant information on their sheet (Student A, key words from the definition and on Student B, the actual word). They can also practise spelling at this point.

Note: The sample activity is based on Listening Part 2 in Sample Paper 1. Other lists of words can be taken from other past papers.
