You come into the classroom at the start of the lesson. There are 25 teenage students in the room. About half of them seem very involved in a loud discussion (in their own language, not English) about a current political situation. (a) You shout out OK, OK, let’s start the lesson; you can continue that later. The room quietens down a bit; some people continue whispering animatedly o each other. Now, today we are going to look at ways of talking about the future, you continue. One student asks, But this subject is very interesting. Could we continue the conversation if we use English? (b) You say, I’m sorry, but we have to get through Unit 9 of the book today. Perhaps we can have a discussion next week. Open your books at page 47. If you were the teacher, what would you use as alternative options to deal with the above situation at point a and point b?
