Cloud of words
This is an excellent activity to prepare students for the topic of the text and the
vocabulary they are going to encounter.
o
The teacher provides the title of the text.
o
The learners work together in groups to make guesses about the topic.
o
Then, the teacher provides a cloud of scattered words (relevant and irrelevant
words to the text)
o
They try to identify which ones of these words the
learners will find in the
text (they may use their dictionary).
Videos
Videos are an excellent tool to create a context for the reading activity and to
bridge the gap between listening, writing, speaking, and reading skills.
o
Choose a short video related to the topic of the reading.
o
Set a purpose for students while they are watching the video. For example,
ask a focus question, or ask them to complete a chart while they are watching the
video.
o
After watching the video, students work in groups to agree on their answers.
o
After correction, students may discuss the video.
