READING JFK International Airport Arrivals

[P1.2.1: Five photos, four of which integrate the texts as captions with the photos. Photos should look more authentically part of a magazine article than in OE. Think newspaper magazine supplement, and link them better/more authentically so that they work as a single article rather than four not obviously connected texts. Layout could change from the OE (as we seem to be doing quite a lot of the ‘across the top’ thing). How about if the 3 photos on the recto are stacked in the 1st recto column, and not so high (not landscape, but more square perhaps)? Then the grammar would just run down the verso right-hand column. However, if this doesn’t work because of the reading flow, the current layout may well need to be retained in order to make a clearer flow from the reading tasks to the grammar.] Photo of each passenger should be against what look like backgrounds in an airport terminal; many public spaces could substitute: Note, in each case we can change the nationality if there is a better photo of someone who looks more appealing/interesting. Some suggestions at the end of the document. 1: Photo of authentic sign for JFK International Airport; integrated or separately from this is an authentic (US) Arrivals sign. 2 Wei Zhang is a young male computer engineer, casually dressed (20s); 3: Maria is a Latin American female (any age, from late20s to 40s) 4: Sonia is an Italian business student. (in 20s) 5: Jack is a young Australian actor (in his 20s); Wei Zhang is a Chinese computer engineer. ‘I’m from Beijing but I’m not here on business. I’m here on holiday. It’s my first time in New York.’ Maria Santas is from Brazil (or alternative Latin American country) She’s an English teacher. She’s in New York for an International Teachers’ Conference. ‘It isn’t my first time in the US but it’s my first time in New York. I’m very happy to be here.’ Sonia Conti is a student from Italy. ‘I’m a business student at the Columbia University.’ ‘Is it a good university?’ ‘Yes, it is. It’s very good for my English too.’ Jack Brown is an actor from Sydney, Australia. ‘I’m a TV actor in Australia, but here in New York I’m a waiter in a restaurant. New York’s a good city for actors.’

Key (To be written later)

Teacher’s Book suggestions:

1.1 3D The teacher may decide to customise the lesson, e.g. Which province in China do you come from? 5A T could generate more items relevant to the teaching context. Speaking - If students might have limited or not enough shared background (geographical) knowledge for this task, you might precede it by eliciting from the whole group a list of 8-10 countries that they know, and two cities in each country (on the WB). 1.2 Vocabulary: the photobank photos provide extra vocabulary on jobs. Depending on the level of the class, the teacher might want to use these before the practice activity or leave them for self-study/homework/another lesson. 1.3 Functional phrases: Additional idea: Get students to add the questions to their phrasebook. Check their writing and spelling. Additional idea: You could ask students to translate the questions in to their own language and then translate them back. 1.4 1B In relevant teaching contexts, point out that adjectives are placed before nouns in English.
