Author

This lesson uses a grammar chant to introduce and practise the grammar needed ('should'/'shouldn't') to offer advice, while focusing on natural pronunciation features of stress and rhythm. The learners have the opportunity to practise the forms in a fun and meaningful context, which they can then go on to use in a small-group activity using problem cards.

Aims

  • To introduce and practise 'should' and 'shouldn't' for giving advice
  • To encourage learners to practise the natural pronunciation features of rhythm and stress
  • To increase learner–learner interaction

Nice chant and problem cards but where did the verb "to blob", as in "he shouldn't blob" come from?  I can guess a meaning for it but I've never heard it used and can't find any examples of it anywhere, therefore, is it useful to teach it?
