Conditional Sentence
Type 1
Through Communicative Approach
1. The Techniques of Presentation
Techniques of presentation model should be appropriate to the context without demanding total realism. There is a right to expect the presentation
models to be acceptable as exponents of communicative function. On the other hands, it is believed that what is presented could be used for a communicative
purpose. Because of the reason, the writer uses some techniques in presenting conditional sentence type 1 such as games, scrambled sentences, song, picture,
dialogue, role play, and work in discussion. Each technique should be based on classroom situation at once.
a. Games
This technique is used in the communicative approach. The students will find the enjoyable and if the game is designed, the techniques
give the students valuable communicative practice. Let‟s see the example
below: 1.
First, the writer divided the class into groups of four. And the writer copied and cut up one sheet per group
2. Second, the writer asked for each student to choose a topic sentence
3. Next, the writer explained to the students that the students must
finish off the first sentence, using the correct tense for the first conditional. Then the students must start the second sentence with
the end of their first sentence. Demonstrate with one of the sentence.
4. Then, the students fold their first sentence under so that all that can
be seen is the half of the new conditional sentence. Then the students passed their sheet to the next student in the group.
5. And the next student continued that sentence and then writes the
start of the next one.
6. This activity continues in this way until all the students in each
group have written sentences in all the columns. 7.
And the writer just monitor and checked the students are using the first conditional correctly and make a note of any repeated error to
go through as a class at the end of the activity. 8.
And the class can vote for the most interesting series of sentences.
