Review for the First Week of Class

I. Introduce English phrases for the classroom.
Write some of the following phrases on the board.  Tell the students what these phrases mean.  These
phrases will be useful inside the classroom.  Add additional phrases that you think may be useful.

“What does ___ mean? “ and “___means ___.”
“I don’t understand ___.”
“When do we use___?”
“Please explain ___ again.”
“Please help me.”
“Great Job!,” “Very Good!,”  or “Excellent Job!”
“Who can guess what ___ means?”
“Try again!”
“Please open your books to page ___.”
“Who knows the answer?”
“Can I have a volunteer read_____?”
 
II. Give the students abbreviations you will use in class.
Write these abbreviations for grammar terms and their meanings on the board.  Tell the students to copy
these abbreviations into their notebook.  Explain that these are abbreviations you will use when you write
on the board in your class.

S—Subject        
N—Noun          
V—Verb        
Adj—Adjective                    
Adv—Adverb
DO—Direct Object
IO—Indirect Object
V1—Simple Present (e.g. I go, she goes)
V2—Simple Past (e.g. I went, she went)
V3—Past Participle (e.g. I have gone, she has gone, etc.)

III. Review good study skills.
In English For Cambodia Book 1, students are introduced to a lot of material very quickly. Remind students
that if they do not study on their own time, at home, it will be difficult for them to learn English. EFC Book 1
is the first book students study in school. If they want to be successful later in books 2-6 they need to
understand clearly the material in Book 1. Good study habits early can bring rewards later.  Book One
