Methodology
Introduction
(5 minutes)
1. An AST must be familiar with tools
and their uses. Otherwise, it is impossible to describe procedures.
Explain to the participants that they will have the opportunity to
test their knowledge in this area first by identifying and categorizing
tools, then by explaining procedures using them.
Pre-Tasks
1. (30 minutes)
Divide the class into pairs and
distribute Handouts 1 and 2 to pairs. Have participants match the
pictures of the tools with their appropriate names and definitions.
Using the Facilitator's Guide to Handout 1, correct with the class. 2.
(60 minutes)
In small groups have learners categorize
the tools on Handout 3 by their functions. As you correct with the
class, ask them to give examples of how the tool is used. For example, " Taps
and dies are electrical tools. Taps are used to cut inside threads
and dies are used to cut outside threads on rods."
3.
(30 minutes)
Group participants into groups
of three, and have them read the description of a car battery on
Handout 4, then match the vocabulary. Correct with class. Task
(30 minutes)
1. In the same groups of three, have
each participant describe to the other group members one of the following:
- how to test a battery
- how to recharge a battery
- how to service a battery
While one group member is speaking, the others listen and take notes.
They then repeat the instructions back to the speaker to make sure
they have been clearly understood.  Downloads
