    TKT Module 1: Units 5-8 Describing language skills and

    subskills – Exercise 1, express your opinion.

    Teachers can help students read a text by reading it aloud while they follow
    in their books.

    There are no major differences between how we read in our mother tongue and
    how we read in a foreign language.

    To understand a reading text, you have to read and understand every word in it.

    When doing listening comprehension in class, I prefer to read the transcript to


    students rather than use a recording. This way I can speak slowly and
    pronounce words carefully.

    I always give the students a copy of the transcript I’m going to read so they can
    follow it while I’m reading.

    I never use passages for listening comprehension which have unknown words.

    Writing is more or less the same as speaking. I don’t think there are any
    particular thingVs to teach students.

    I always give my students a model or example text to copy from when we


    are doing writing in class.

    Writing lessons are boring – just sitting and watching students write is not
    interesting.

    Doing a speaking lesson is easy. You don’t even have to prepare!

    I don’t think there is much value in doing speaking activities in class. Students
    can talk to each other in breaks or at lunchtime.

    Students don’t like talking to other students because their English isn’t very
    good. They prefer talking to the teacher.
