Context guessing

Goal of this class: students know that they can use context to understand what is being said.

 

• Why is context important?

• How about if I say: "It's okay to make mistakes". 

What is context?

Elicit: what is context?

What if I say?

"It's okay to make mistakes"

"It's okay to make mistakes"

Context guessing can help you!

Listening can be difficult!

Use your eyes!

The context of the story can help you 

to understand what is going on.

Watch this video from Romania.

Use the context (your eyes) to guess what happened.

Discuss with a partner in English

What do you think has happened?

A personal train, in which there were 30 passengers, crashed into an agricultural combine. Apparently, the vehicle is right on an unmarked railroad crossing.

Paradoxical is the fact that less than 20 meters away there is a level crossing with a signalized and equipped railway, but the only access road to the agricultural fields in the area intersects with another railway. Thus, people are forced to put their lives in danger, every day.

Context guessing can help you!

Listening can be difficult!

Focus on intonation!

The way things are said can help you 

to understand what is going on.

Listen to this audio fragment.

Focus on how things are said.

This is the audio tape from a YouTube video. 

Use the context (focus on intonation) to guess what happened.

You know more than you think!

Most new information is built on old information. Context can help you remember the information that is already in your head. And that will help you understand the new information.

So don't say: "ik kan geen Engels" and then shut your ears and eyes. The information you already have in your head, in your own language, helps you to understand what is said in English.
