Sounds Intriguing: Resource Material for TeachersSounds Intriguing: Resource Material for Teachers

by Alan Maley and Alan Duff

Sounds Intriguing offers an unusual and effective approach to oral work: sounds rather than words or pictures are used as a stimulus for free oral expression. The recording is composed of short sequences of sound, each of which suggests the unfolding of a story or incident. The sequences are open to many different interpretations, and there are no 'correct' solutions. This stimulus releases the students' creative imagination and gives them a genuine reason to speak.

The Lexical Syllabus

The lexical syllabus affords the learner a coherent learning opportunity. It does not dictate what will be learned and in what order. It offers the learner experience of a tiny but balanced corpus of natural language from which it is possible to make generalizations about the language as a whole. It then provides the learner with the stimulus to examine that mini-corpus in order to make those productive generalizations.
