Key learning points
- Identifying features of a voice message helps to revise key vocabulary and grammar.
- Composing a message yourself means selecting the nouns, adjectives and verbs you are going to use, then writing it.
- Rehearsing what you are going to say helps you improve fluency, i.e. how smooth and natural speech your speech sounds.
- Repeated rehearsal improves your pronunciation, speed and intonation, some key components of fluency.
Keywords
Noun - word for a person, place or thing
Adjective - word that gives information about a noun
Verb - word that communicates actions or states
Fluency - how smooth and natural speech your speech sounds
Common misconception
Speaking doesn't require rehearsal or practice.
To develop fluency, it is important to rehearse speaking and practise reading aloud. This helps you improve pronunciation, speed and intonation so you convey a clear message with confidence and without too many hesitations.
Teacher tip
As the final task is a voice message, pupils could say them aloud to one another, or, if there are iPads or laptops available, make audio recordings to capture the messages in a real-life context.
