Is that Sentence Correct?

Skills: Listening/Speaking/Writing

Time: 10-20 minutes

Level: Beginner to Advanced

Materials: Blank paper, vocabulary words

This is a sneaky way to get your student to make grammatically correct sentences using the target vocabulary. Start off by giving your student 5-6 vocabulary words. They should be words that the student is quite familiar with already. The challenge in this activity is not the actual word; it's using it in a sentence. Give the student five minutes to make some sentences using those words (one sentence per word). Do not offer any assistance or correct any errors. You can also make some sentences using the same (or different, but familiar to the student) vocabulary words. Some of them should be correct while some of them should be incorrect.

The student reads his/her first sentence. Discuss whether it is correct or incorrect and why. Read your first sentence and have a brief discussion about whether it is correct or incorrect. The activity continues until all the sentences are done.

Procedure:

1. Give the student a few vocabulary words (and, as the teacher, you can use the same words or different words that the student is familiar with).

2. Instruct the student to write one sentence per word while you do the same with your words. Make some sentences correct and some incorrect.

3. Take turns reading sentences and discussing whether they are correct or incorrect.
