How?

Practises: speaking, the imperative

Students give mini presentations on "how to do something".

Some sample topics:

• how to start a car
• how to use a photocopier
• how to make a cup of tea
• how to make an omelette
• how to change a tyre
• how to change baby's nappy
• how to make a telephone call
• how to play golf

This can be more or less complicated, as the teacher wishes. It can, for example, be a 2-minute delivery with no visual aids, or a 15-minute exposé with OHPTs and handouts followed by questions.
