1. Print out the 'script' and keep it with you for when a five-minute
filler activity is needed. You can make up other sentences based
on language you have been studying in class.
2. Tell students you are going to read some words from a sentence,
and they should repeat exactly what you say.
3. Start at single word level.
4. Add to the string of words as indicated in the script below,
making sure that you add stressed words first, then words which
are pronounced weakly. Gradually speed up the delivery of the
sentence.
5. With strong groups, establish a chain, with each student repeating
what the last one said and adding another word, prompted by you.
You could uncover the words students have to say on an OHT, or
turn over cards.
