Introduction
(20 minutes)
1. Indicate to the class that this topic extends
over two days. Explain that they will be given opportunities to describe
procedures and process related to their trade as it is required for
the certification process.
Pre-Tasks
1. (10 minutes)
Distribute Handout 1 (requirements
for a 90-day certificate), and discuss with class.
2. (30 minutes)
Distribute Handout 2 and assign
non-technical vocabulary (verb) exercise to participants to do
in pairs or small groups. Have groups present their answers and correct.
Tasks
(90 minutes)
1. Divide the class into five groups.
For example, if there are twenty participants, there will be four
in each group.
2. Designate "expert" groups and assign them word lists
and diagrams for their particular area.
- Group 1 engines
- Group 2 fuel systems
- Group 3 electrical systems
- Group 4 power trains
- Group 5 suspension, steering and brakes
(Optional) 3. Distribute Handout 3 (optional) as
an example of the task. Assign each member of the group the task
of explaining one of the following procedures to the rest of the
group:
- diagnosing a fault or problem,
- servicing a part or system,
- repairing a part or system, or,
- overhauling a part or system.
If there are more group members than procedures, pair a participant
with weaker English skills with one who has stronger English skills.
4. Ask the group members who are listening to the explanations to
follow along using their word lists and diagrams, and check off the
words on their list as they hear them. Group members may take notes
and assist each other at any time if they are having difficulty explaining
a procedure.
5. Visit each group to correct pronunciation and stress. Indicate
that the class will continue discussing explanations and procedures
tomorrow.  Downloads
