This

book

helps

students

learn

how

to

express

their

opinions

and

ideas.

lt

does

so

by

forging

the

path

from

simplified

to

more

complicated

questions

to

teach

students

how

to

feel

comfortable

speaking

in English.

The

book's

order

is

pertinent,

so

it's best

not

to skip

around.

There

are

five

sections

to

each

lesson

in

the

book:

Vocabulory

Usage,

Let's Staft,

Let's

Talk,

and

an

Exercise

and

Activities

page'

The

vocabulary

section

is

divided

into

New

Words

and

tef

3

Talk

Words'

The

New

Words

are

the

words

on

the

first

page

of

the

lesson.

They are

used

to help

get the

students

acquainted

with

the

topic.

The

Let'sTolkWords

are

topic

related

aswell

and

give students

the

vocabulary

necessary

to

produce

their

own original

sentences

for

the

Let's

Talksection.

All the

vocabulary

is

pertinenf

and

all

words

should

be

pronounced,

defined,

and

briefly

explained

to the

students.

This

can

be done

by

using

example

sentences,

pictures,

pantomime,

or role

play. ln some

lessons

space

has been

provided

so students

can

add

their

own

relevant

vocabulary'

Fhe

lJsoge

section

helps

students

become

acquainted

with

the

vocabulary

words

through

matching

exercises,

defining

and

drawing

exercises,

writing

exercises,

and

games.

This

section

gives

students practice using

the

vocabulary

words.

The

exercises

are

meant

for

group,

pair,

or class

practice.

The students

help

each

other

use

and

understand

the

meaning

of

the

words

through

activities.

The

activities

are

eclectic

to

prevent

boredom,

and,

at the

same

time,

accommodate

various

learners'

styles.

Let's

Start

provides

activities

that

encourage

students

to

get

ready

for

conversing.

Talking

in

groups

or

as a class,

sharing

ideas,

using

one's imagination,

and

speaking

are

the

elements

that

comprise

this

section'

The

let's

lolk

section

is

the

core of

the

text.

To work

in the

let3

Iolk

section

students

should

be

in

groups of

four

to six.

This section

is filled

with

adult topics,

and

questions

geared specifically

for

adults.

The topics

increase

in difficulty

not

only

grammatically,

but

in social

sensitivity

as

well.

The

questions

in

this section lead

the

students

into

forming

original

sentences

that

stem

from

their own

opinions

and

beliefs.

There

are

no correct

answers

to

the

majority

of the

questions:

The

questions

are

meant

to

promote

conversation.

The

teacher

listens

to

what

students

say and

determines

when

grammatical

corrections

are

necessary.

lf

the

student

is understood,

but

forgets

an article,

the student

is

generally

not corrected;

however,

if

the

student is not

understood

by a

native

speaker,

or could

be

misunderstood,

then

a correction

is

necessary.

You

must

remember

that

it

isn't

the

correction

that

embarrasses

the student,

but

how

that

correction

is delivered.

You could

say,

"Your opinion

is

very interesting.

The

way

most

English speakers

say

that is

. . .

(or)

People

would

understand

you

better

if

you

said

. . .

."

Students

not

only

app-eciate

such

corrections,

but

they

expect

the

teacher

to correct

them

when

their

grammar or

pronunciation

prevents

communication.

Finally,

to

close

each

lesson,

there

is

an

Exercises

ond Activities page

where

students

take

surveys,

write

their

thoughts,

and

expand

on the

topics.

The survey

section

encourages

students

to

meet

and

converse

with other

students,

gives

additional

practice

in creative

speaking

and

listening, and

allows

the students

writing

practice.

Now

that

l've

"talked

your head

off,"

please

go

to

the

first topic

and

begin.

And

when

your students

ask

you how

they

can

improve

their

English-just

tell them

to

"Talk

Your Head

Off "

Tolk

a

x



To

the

Teacher

Developing

a

textbook

that

elicits authentic

language

instead

of

textbook

tolk

(drills

or

exercises

that have

preordained

answers)

presents

many

difficulties.

Should

the

book

be

written

as

one

speaks?

lf

so,

what

kind

of

speech

(formal

or informal)?

Common

everyday

spoken English

is

filled with

grammatical

inconsistencies

that

traditional

prescriptive

grammarians

would

identify as

errors.

Linguists,

on the

other

'hand,

view language

as ever

changing

and therefore

write their

grammatical

rules

to

fit

the spoken

language

that

is

used.

This book

implements

a liberal

and conversational grammatical

structure.

Prepositions

occur

at

the end of

sentences

since they

are

rarely,

if

ever, at

the

beginning

in

spoken English.

Contractions

are

used,

since they are

conversational,

and

they

usually

do

not

violate

standard

English rules.

When

looking

at the

grammar

focus in

the

lessons,

the

structure might

not

be

as apparent

as in

some grammar

books.

The

structural foci

are

carefully

embedded

into

the

lessons

to have

students answer

using the correct forms.

Teachers

act

as

facilitators

to help

students produce

the

forms.

Many

of the lessons

demonstrate

new

grammatical

experiences

for

the students; however,

in

all

lessons,

previous

grammatical

structures

are

used.

Therefore, each

lesson

contains

a

multiplicity of

grammaticalforms.

Furthermore,

from

lesson

to

lesson,

the book

gradually

increases in grarnmatical

complexity.

The

idea

is

nof

to

have students practice

one grammatical

form

at

a time, but

rather

to

continue

what

they know

while

introducing

new

structures. "Real

world

English" involves

a

conglomeration

of

grammatical

structures

even

within

basic

conversations.

Students

need

to

practice

speaking

the

way

native

English

speakers

speak rather

than practicing

one

structure

at

a

time. Thus,

this

book gives

conversation practice

that is as

close

as

possible

to

"real

world

speech."

Tolk Your Head

Z vtt



Tolk

Your

Head

Off

is the

kind

of

book

students

and

teachers

have

been

talking

about

for

a long

time' Students

want

to

learn

to

speak

English.

Teachers

want

a book

that

simplifies

the

learning

process

while

making

it

a

unique

and

enjoyable

experience.

Talk

Your

Heod

off

accomplishes

both

of

these goals

and

more

After

studying

the

beginning

levels

in English,

students

have

acquired

enough

basic

vocabulary

and pronunciation

skills

to

produce

sentences

with

their own

ideas and

opinions.

They

have

the

ability

to

have

conversations;

they

just

need

the

confidence

and practice.

Practice

they

find

interesting

and

fun.

My

students

constantly

ask

me, "Teacher,

how

can

I learn

to

speak

English?,,

I

answer

them

with

a

few questions

such

as, "How

did you

learn

to

drive?,,

or

,,How

did you

learn

to

walk?"

or,

for

that

matter,

"How did you

learn

to

speak

your

first

language?"

The

answer

to

all

the

questions,

both

theirs

and

mine,

was

,,you

just

do itl,,

we

learn

to speak

by speaking:

not

by

repeating

drills,

but

by

forming

original

sentences

through

original

ideas.

lnteresting

and meaningful

conversational

topics,

with

lead

questions,

make

this

possible.

The

students

will

neither

have

perfect

grammar

nor

precise

pronunciation

at

the

onset

of instruction, but

that

is

why they

have

a

teacher

who

is

there

to

correct,

interpret,

instrucf

and

facilitate

their

learning

process.

As

an

intermediate

or

advanced

ESL

teacher

you

step

back

and guide

students

through

their

original

thought

processes.

With

this

method

of

instruction

students

not

only learn

to

speak

quickty,

Uut

they

are

also

very

enthusiastic

about

the

conversational

topics.

They

can't

wait

to find

out

what

they

are

going

to

talk

about,

so attendance

soars.

Not

only

that, you

will

find yourself

enjoying

the

class

as

much

as

your

students

do,

as

you

learn

different

facts,

trivia,

and

students'

opinions

on

a

variety

of

subjects.

Research

shows

that

small-group

and pair

work

dramatically

increase

the

learning

process.

Nevertheless,

one

cannot

just

write

questions

on

the

board

and hope

the

students

will

talk.

Putting

any group

of

strangers

into

a

circle

and

asking

them

to

converse

in any language

is

a

difficult

task.

Some

people

might

not

talk

because

they

feel

they

would

be

judged,

others

might

be

shy,

but

most

would

be

embarrassed

to talk

to people

they

have

never

met before.

Now,

if

you

add

lack

of

ianguage

proficiency

to

the

above,

you

have

quite

a

task getting

your

group

of complete

strangers

with

limited

language

proficiency

to

speak.

The

key

here

is

complete

strangers.

once

people

know

each

other,

or

at least

feel like

they

know

each

other,

they

wilfbe

willing

to

converse

on

a

variety

of

topics

in groups.

And,

once people

feel

comfortable

in

theii

groups,

they

can

and

do

help

each

other

fiil

in

$e

gaps

in

their

ranguage

abirities.

To

get

to

know

someone

one

must

begin

with

non-threatening

questions,

usually

based

solely

on

facts,

anc

then

build

to

more

subjective

questions

formed

through

opinions.

Examples

of

fact

guestions

may

be,

,,what

is your

name?,,

or

,,what

is

the

person

next to you

wearing?"

After

learning

some

facts

about

each

other,

the

students

will

be

ready

to answer

more

socially

sensitive

and

thought

provoking

questions

such

as,

"why

do

some people

get

divorced?"

or

,,what

uo ,on.''"

*uy,

people

define

success?"

Finally,

and

perhaps

the most

difficult

of

all,

come

the

opinion

questions

such

as,

"Do

you

think

a government

has

the right

to enforce

capital

punishment?"

Why

or

why not?,,
