Talk a Lot Elementary © English Banana.com v Hello, and welcome to the Talk a Lot Elementary Handbook! This handbook shows you how to use Talk a Lot materials to learn or teach spoken English, as well as providing background information and practice worksheets on related topics, such as connected speech, sentence and word stress, and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The Talk a Lot course objectives are very simple: • Every student talking in English • Every student listening to and understanding English • Every student thinking in English, and • Every student taking part in class Talk a Lot is structured so that every student can practise and improve English grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, word and sentence stress, and interpersonal skills, by working in pairs, groups and one to one with the teacher. The main benefits of Talk a Lot are: • Students have to think in English during lessons in a controlled and focused way • Students learn how to memorise correct English structures naturally, without abstract and unrelated grammar lessons • Students learn how to construct eight different common verb forms, using positive, negative and question forms, as well as embedded grammar appropriate to their level. The verb forms studied are: Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple, Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Modal Verbs, Future Forms, and First Conditional • Students learn many essential vocabulary words by heart, including word stress and the sounds of English • Students learn how to become more fluent when speaking in English, by joining together words in a sentence using the techniques of connected speech • Students enjoy following a simple and effective method that produces results quickly So far we’ve published two Talk a Lot Elementary books. The ten lesson topics studied in Talk a Lot Elementary Book 1 are: Town, Food, Shopping, Health, Transport, Clothes, Work, Family, Home, and Free Time whilst the ten lesson topics studied in Talk a Lot Elementary Book 2 are: Crime, Sport, Music, Weather, Animals, Cars, The Human Body, Colours and Numbers, Life Events, and Nature A third Talk a Lot Elementary book is currently in preparation, with the following brand new lesson topics: Talk a Lot Elementary Handbook Introduction For more fun worksheets, games and quizzes log onto www.englishbanana.com now! Talk a Lot Elementary © English Banana.com vi Learning English, Films, Hospital, Books, Airport, Television, Education, Money, The Environment, and Holidays Important Note This book is the Talk a Lot Elementary Handbook, and doesn’t contain the materials for Talk a Lot courses. This book gives instructions and guidance for using the materials, which can be found in the existing two Talk a Lot course books. You can download the course books for free from http://www.englishbanana.com, or buy hard copy versions from any good bookseller. Downloadable course materials for Book 3 will be added to our website in stages, so please check back regularly to see what is available to download! You can see how all of the different units and activities from the three Talk a Lot Elementary course books fit together on P.1.1. As well as containing instructions about how to use Talk a Lot materials, this handbook also provides information sheets and practice worksheets to help students learn skills that will accelerate their improvement in spoken English: • how to identify and use the techniques of connected speech (from p.11.1) • how to identify and use sentence stress (from p.12.1) • how to identify word stress (from p.13.1) • how to identify prefixes (from p.14.1) • how to identify suffixes (from p.15.1) • how to identify compound nouns (from p.16.1) • how to identify weak forms (from p.17.1) • learn the sounds of English with the International Phonetic Alphabet (from p.18.1) • how to identify vowel sounds (from p.18.19) This handbook is not intended to be an exhaustive academic work. The aim was to write a brief, helpful guide and pack of resources that would provide a way into practise and language work in the classroom, rather than a dry, analytical manual. For example, I have deliberately avoided confusing jargon when writing about connected speech. Phrases like “bilabial plosive” and “palato-alveolar approximate” – though fun to say – can be studied later, or at the student’s leisure. (See the bibliography on p.x for ideas about further reading.) The sentence stress activities in this course are focused on neutral speech. Intonation is largely ignored – except where it concerns yes/no question forms – in favour of grounding students in the basics of word stress, sentence stress, and connected speech techniques. The subtleties of intonation, and how meaning can be altered, can of course be practised in conjunction with Talk a Lot materials, but should perhaps come later on for new students of spoken English, after they have mastered the techniques demonstrated in this handbook. My aim in writing Talk a Lot materials is always to be as non-prescriptive as possible, so that users may take what they want from the work and use it in the way that best fits their [...]...
