Part A
What might happen if you…
2. Ask students to raise their hands when voting or making some kind of
choice? (e.g. “Ok, who wants to listen again?”)
3. Spend too long writing on the board with your back to the students?
5. Spend, say, 5 seconds at the most monitoring each pair as they work?
7. Don’t accept homework which is overdue but fall behind with the
correction yourself?
8. Drill students in chain? (i.e., student 1 asks student 2, who in turn asks
student 3 and then 4 etc, linearly)
10. Provide rather than elicit the correction during controlled practice?
11. Monitor a free speaking activity and write the mistakes on the board for
delayed correction?
Part B
What might have happened?

practice stage (in which students had to talk about what they’d already / still
hadn’t done that day), all of them got it all wrong.
2. Natalie Cole spent 10 minutes presenting yet and already. Her students did
20 minutes of controlled practice. During the free practice stage, most of
them got most of it wrong.
3. Mathew Perry spent 10 minutes presenting yet and already. His students
did 20 minutes of controlled practice. During the free practice stage, some of
them got some of it wrong.
7. Dionne Warwick told her students to skim a text. Not only did it take them
15 minutes, they also underlined all the unknown words.

1. Some of Barbra Streisand’s students freeze whenever she gets close for
monitoring.
3. One of Kenny G’s elementary students tried to use the second conditional

it wrong and asked him “Is that right? How I say it?”.
7. Alicia Key’s students are working in groups. Two groups have already
