ASSIGNMENT 2
ADAPTATION
Material: Tieng Anh 11 - Unit 7: World population
I. General Evaluation:
1. Good points:
There are some good points but they are the same as other unit, such as
variety of effective activities to teach different sub-skills;
For example: reading: used variety of tasks like gap-fill, comprehension
question to help students practice the sub-skill
speaking:
2. Bad points:
Not communicative and interactive enough:
For example: + writting part: No discussion, no exchange of ideas
+ language: grammar : No speaking activities , Ss repeated
structures=> students can do the exercises mechanically without
understanding, it is a passsive learning
Not meaningful:
For example: + in all exercises of grammar part: The cues are random, no
related to a topic, no scene => hard for Ss to remembers what they’ve learned.
2. II. Adaptation
Part 1: Writing:
Study the chart carefully then write a paragraph of 100 – 120 words, describing
the information in the chart.
Oceania
Norther 2%
n
Latin America
America6% South Asia
8% 32%
Africa 11%
Europe
15%
East Asia 26%
Useful language:
- It can be seen that
- Distributed unevenly
- Account for...percent
- More than double the population of
- Half as much as/ nearly half of
- Rank first/ last
You may begin with:
The chart shows the distribution of world population by region...
3. 1. Aims.
- To practise asking and answering information about world population in
the chart
- To help Ss brainstorm before writing
- To encourage Ss interactions & communications
2. Technique: add
3. Procedure:
T gives the questions in a postcard
Get Ss to ask and answer the information from the chart in pairs
+ What the topic of the chart?
+ Is the world population distributed evenly
+ Which continent has the largest population?
+ Which continent has the smallest population?
+ How many percent does the East Asia account for?
+ Which region has the population that is more than double of Europe?
T calls Ss to make the exchange and gives feedback
T elicits the outline of the chart according to the answers of the
questions above
T gives Ss some useful language can be used in describing the chart
For example: +It can be seen that
+Distributed unevenly
+Account for...percent
+More than double the population of
+Half as much as/ nearly half of
+Rank first/ last
T asks Ss to write
