Revision
Why use concept checking?
What makes a concept check question effective?
![Page 3: Concept checking structures2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547dccfdb4af9fa0158b54b5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some guidelines
1. Make sure that you are checking the MEANING
2. Make sure that you are specific about the meaning.
3. Avoid the target language in the question
4. Grade the vocabulary and structures that you use below the target language

Checking structures
Let’s try an example……
![Page 5: Concept checking structures2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547dccfdb4af9fa0158b54b5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
I used to smoke.
What’s the meaning here?
I did something before.I did it more than once (probably often)I don’t do it now.
![Page 6: Concept checking structures2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547dccfdb4af9fa0158b54b5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I used to smoke.
So we make those into questions:
• Did I smoke? Yes.• More than once? Yes.• Regularly? Often? Perhaps.• Do I smoke now? No.
![Page 7: Concept checking structures2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547dccfdb4af9fa0158b54b5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
I used to smoke.
What’s wrong with these?
Did you smoke?What did you used to do?Did you regularly inhale tobacco fumes?

TIME-LINES
A useful way to check or illustrate meaning.
Time lines can show if we are talking about something temporary or permanent, a point of time or a period of time and the time setting of the action.

Important!!
Timelines are only helpful if TIME is involved…
![Page 11: Concept checking structures2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547dccfdb4af9fa0158b54b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I’d rather have a coffee.
Time isn’t important here
I’d rather have a coffee now.I’d rather have a coffee in the morning.
So what is the core meaning of ‘would rather’?

I’d rather have a coffee.
I want a coffeeI want it more than something else.BUTIt’s not very important to me
