Period 2 Function;Listening and Speaking
The General Idea of This Period
In Function there is not so much to learn for the students in this period.However,as the
students have trouble in knowing about some language phenomenon of subtle differences,it is
rather difficult.So the role of the teacher in this period is to help the students to understand the
differences between “a certain future” and “a prediction”.And the teacher will also have to help
the students make sense of the ways of expressing “a certain future” as well as the subtle
differences between them.It is suggested that the teacher should deal with part as it is.In Listening
and Speaking the speaking is very important,because it can prepare the students for the following
listening.And it is equally important for the students to know some listening techniques.
