12 Recall and Present

This activity aims to have students make an oral presentation on a planned topic. It is such an activity
that students use three language skills, which are reading, speaking, listening, in an integrated way to
complete the tasks.

Materials and Preparation
A worksheet with an informative text about tips for planning a tour on page 59
Small topic cards on page 59
Copy and hand out the sheet to students. Cut out the topic cards and insert them into an envelope.

Procedure
1 Put students into groups of four or five.
2 Ask students to read the text on the sheet. Give them fifteen minutes.
3 Write the following topics on the board while they are reading the text.
• DESTINATION
• PRICE
• TRANSPORTATION
• ACCOMMODATION
• DOCUMENTS
• DATE&TIME
• NUMBER OF TRAVELERS
4 Then, explain students that they should read the text very carefully and try to keep in mind the
details regarding the topics on the board.
5 When time is up, ask a volunteer from each group to choose one of the topic cards from the envelope
randomly and give information on that specific topic as far as s/he recalls from the text.
6 As the final step, check if the information students have shared matches that in the text and award
one point for each correct piece of information. You can also assign a student from the other groups
to check the information given and keep the score. The group with the highest score will be the
winner.

Suggestion for Extension:
Teacher could ask students to prepare an informational travel brochure about the city/country that they
know very well by keeping in mind the tips mentioned in the reading text. The target of the brochure
might be convincing people to come and visit their city/country. For this activity, students could search
for information about the place on the Internet and then present it by using a presentation program.
