trainee to repeat it.
- Repeat this process for each line.
- Repeat the entire dialogue with
appropriate body language.
- Repeat the entire dialogue with
a trainee. (You and the trainee will
read the dialogue together at the same time.) You may
also want to

do the same for person 2.

C: Teaching Grammar to Intermediate and Advanced Learners
- Highlight some of the material cited in the tutor training manual
under
the sub-heading
"some considerations."
- Tell the trainees that
they do not need to be apprehensive about
teaching grammar. They know a lot more grammar than they might
think.
- Review parts of speech on overhead, Grammar (Parts of
Speech).
- Show overhead, Grammar (Example 1). Let trainees know
that
this is an early sample of Hyun-Chu's work. They were introduced
to
her in Session 3.
- Ask trainees,
"How would you correct these two
sentences? What
type of word is causing the problem (noun, verb, adjective, adverb)?
What rule can be applied?"
-
Possible answers include: the verb (
"action word" ) is always
used in the present tense. The learner should use "went"
" ate" and "danced" to discuss things in the past.
- n Give tutors the Reference Sheet for Tutors: Looking at
Common Verb Tenses to file for future use.
