Diga: Let's do a brainstorming about sports events you know about and then write the concepts in your notebook. Es importante que fomente la comunicación oral del inglés en estas actividades para que los estudiantes no sientan ansiedad al pronunciar las palabras. Puede indicarles:It's okay to make mistakes, say only one word out loud, or just give it a try, para mostrar que todos pueden contribuir con la lluvia de ideas.

Errores frecuentes

Un error frecuente de los estudiantes en las actividades de lectura es priorizar la lectura rápida por sobre el entendimiento, o viceversa. Puede explicar que no es necesario apurarse en la lectura y que algunas palabras pueden entenderse desde el contexto, y aquellas cuyo significado no se pueda dilucidar,o tengan otro significado, pueden ser buscadas en el diccionario.
