Teaching Procedures
Step 1 Review the last period of the unit
Skills building 1: listening for facts about people
When we are listening for facts about people, there are certain things we need to listen for.
These includes:
1.date when they were born and died
e.g. He/ She was born/died on 26 May 1962.
2.places where they were born or died. These might be or countries.
e.g. He/ She was born in London, England.
3.specific things that they did in their life. This will include dates and places such as when and
where they got married or had a child, etc.
e.g. He married Jane in Paris in 1999.
4.information about why they did something and who or what influenced them.
e.g. He wrote this opera because he liked East Asia.
Step 2 Listening
While listening to the recording, ask the students to apply listening skills in practical use, such
as note taking. The teacher should be responsible for the speed of the recording and make sure the
student can finally understand the text as a whole. After the teacher can check the answers with the
students.
Step 3 Table fill-in
In this section, the students first are required to go through three passages. Since during the
listening we have just finished part of the exercise, the teacher can design a skimming and scanning
practice here, asking the students to find the relevant information of the table provided. And later ask
the students to check their answers by presentation.
Skills building 2: finding out about people’s lives
Sometimes you need to find out about people’s lives. You can start by asking the following
questions.
Which city/country was he/she born in?
When was he/she born?
What instruments did he/she play?
When was…written?
When did he/she die?
Where did he/she die?
Did he/she have brothers/sisters? What were their names?
When did he/she get married?
Who did he/she marry?
Can you tell me any other information about him/her?
Is there anything else you can tell me about him/her?
Asking for further information
In this section, the students are supposed to work in pair to practice the skills in skills buildings.
The teacher can encourage the students to pracise their spoken language during this part, and later the
teacher can also provide the sample answers to the students.
Skills building 3: writing someone’s life story
When writing someone’s life story on an exhibition board, you need to:
1.Start with his/her name as a little with the dates of his/her birth and death underneath.
2.Perhaps use a timeline to illustrate what the person did in his/her life.
3.Write the information in the order that it happened.
4.Include pictures to make it attractive.
Writing the life story of a composer
In this section, the students should apply their learned skills to practical use. First they have to
collect some facts about the composers, find out about people’s lives and then write someone’s life
story. The teacher first of all should remind the students of these steps and then give some
instructions to the students. If it is needed, the teacher can also give the students a sample writing to
show how they are supposed to phrase their article.
