girls learn to play musical instruments. The kids are having a break and are sitting on a bench in the school courtyard. Give the class a moment to look at the pictures in their book, and ask
them questions in Indonesian to elicit the content of the dialogue. For example:

words and sentences they hear. Then, play the CD. Move around the classroom and if necessary, help the students with their task.
3. Play the CD again. Use the recorded version with pauses. Help the students predict what Susan and Eddy will say. Help them by asking questions like Who speaks first? What does
she say?, etc. Questions will be asked and answered in Indonesian. 4. Play the first line of the dialogue. Ask Who speaks now? Then, ask students to guess what that
person says. Play the next line and do the same again with each line asking the students to predict the whole dialogue. Encourage them to try and guess the meaning of new words from
the situation. 5. Ask the class to repeat the dialogue line by line after the rereading, with books still closed.
6. Divide the class into two groups and assign each group a role. Still keeping books closed, ask the groups to repeat the lines after the tape. Have the groups exchange roles.

ple, It’s time for the piano lesson or Wait a minute 8. Students practise the dialogue in pairs. They can practise in groups when there are more

Grammar Practice
Following the inductive method, it is important to point out that it must be the students who discover and formulate the rule themselves. The main idea of the inductive procedure is the
important pedagogical principle according to which, what is the result of a discovery is kept in our memory much longer than what is told to us. This can be done through a discussion invol-
ving the whole class. Some examples are provided here. This is what the teacher could do to highlight the contrast between What’s your name? and
Siapa namamu? Write on the board the word name and elicit the Indonesian equivalent from the students.
Say the sentence My name’s Mario and write it on the board. Discuss with the students the difference between Nama saya Mario and My name’s Mario. Students should notice that
there is to word for word correspondence between English and Idonesian.
25
Ask a student what his or her name is and write on the board Your name’s Giulia. Elicit the difference between my and your.
