Ask them to try to make some past tense questions and
their intonation
While-listening:

Play the whole recording and ask them to write past tense
questions
·
Play it again and ask them to write signposts and new
vocabulary
·
Have students to compare the words they have written down
with a partner
·
Discuss differences as a class and offer corrective
feedback
Post listening:

Ask
general questions about the recording
●
Ask
students if they recognized the questions’ intonation
●
Pair
students and ask them to share their notes with each other and have each group
to read them to the class
●
Pass
the script of the recording that they were listening to and listen again
●
Ask
to highlight the past tense questions and sign posts while listening
●
Read
the script’s questions to the students and ask them to repeat it with the
correct intonation
●
While
they are in groups ask them to read the script’s questions to each other and
provide feedback
Feedback
●
Mention common mistakes to the class
●
If a student had a mistake give her/him a corrective
feedback at the right moment (do not distract or confuse the student) or after
the student has done her/his conversation
●
Peer feedback
Assessment
