Pre-task preparation

Language learning activity

(This section aims at providing students with opportunities to practise the language/vocabulary needed or become familiar with the background for the task that follows.

1. Write on the board a list of food items and a list of food factories in two separate columns. Tell students to match the food items to the factories, e.g. yoghurt to dairy; frozen fish to frozen fish factory; noodles to noodle factory, etc. Ask individuals to suggest some more food items they want to investigate and the kind of factory they will visit. Add their suggestion to the columns.

2. Ask individuals questions, like this: What is your project going to be about? To elicit: My project’s going to be about (name of food). Then ask: Who do you need to interview for your project? To elicit: I need to interview someone at a (place).

3. Invite students to come forward and talk about the food item they are going to investigate, like this: I’m investigating how yoghurt is made, so I need to interview someone at a dairy. Explain to students that they should use the connective ‘so’ to explain what action they are going to take to do the investigation. Remember there is no need for students to learn the passive voice at this stage.
