Task 5 - group 4 – Marília Salgado Vilas Boas Safar

This link is a good option to work with students. With the testimonials they present, we can work as a listening activity and it is a good exercise for students to get used with the language in focus. We can use the Top-down strategies and the listener taps into background knowledge of the topic, the situation or context, the type of text, and the language. This background knowledge activates a set of expectations that help the listener to interpret what is heard and anticipate what will come next. Students can listen for the main idea, predict, draw inferences and summarize. After listening there are questions related to the passage and it is a good exercise to check if the students understood what the video was about. On the other hand, I think they could have explored more the listening formulating more questions about the subject.

I think it is a good tool to work with students. This link has many options to work with. You can practice listening and at the same time practice reading through several dialogs they present. Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. A transcription of the dialogue is shown and this is very good and helpful for comprehension.
This link provides you an option for you subscribe and get in contact with people all around the word. Students can practice writing and learn different people and culture.
They also can sing many songs and learn new words from them. I thing every body likes singing and listening music. It is worth look for them.

I believe that this kind of exercise is very good. You can record a dialog or any kind of work or music and even classes. Then, when you want you can hear it. This exercise specifically is a dialog between a woman and a man and is nice to introduce a new topic or to review some points already studied before (phrasal verbs, expressions, words). In the first moment they speak slowly and this is good for students to get used with the pronunciation and understand better what they are saying. Concomitantly, they explain the words in bold that are the topic of the work. After they repeat the dialog normally and we can get it easily. I can use it as a work in class or use as a homework.
