Aims:
Procedure
1. (10 minutes) On the board, write: Teaching aids. Elicit what they are (equipment
and resources that teachers use in the classroom).
2. Hand out Participants worksheet 1. In pairs, participants find the nine aids in the
wordsearch activity. Allow five minutes for this. If participants are finding it difficult to
find the words, you can give them some of the words, or give clues.
3. Check answers together (see key below). Tell participants that the selection and use
of teaching aids is a syllabus area tested in TKT Module 2 Part 2 and that the words
in the wordsearch activity were taken from the TKT Glossary. Ask participants to add
any other ideas to the list of 9 (e.g. computer, DVD player, cassette player, phonemic
chart).
4. (15 minutes) Hand out Participants worksheet 2. Participants work in groups of
three and decide which teaching aids they would use to achieve the aims in the
lessons listed 110 on the worksheet. Check answers together (see key below).
5. (10 minutes) Still in groups of 3, participants discuss the following:
Tell each other about what aid you last used in class, how it helped the
lesson and whether you would use it in the same way if you taught the same
lesson again.
Feed back with the whole group for participants to share ideas.
6. (10 minutes) Give out Sample Task. Ask participants to complete the sample task
on their own then compare their answers with a partner. Check answers together
(see key below).
