Teacher: "Good morning! Today we are continuing our unit on Travel and Transport, but with a special focus on our country. I want to tell you a short story about my journey yesterday. I was in a hurry to get to the Central Museum. I decided to take the fastest transport in Almaty. I went to the station, bought a token, and descended on a long escalator deep underground. The train was very quiet and smooth. The stations were so beautiful, with paintings showing our history and mountains. I saw the Kazakh language everywhere on the signs. Oh, and I remember seeing a big statue of a famous composer at one station... I think it was Abai Kunanbaiuly? Anyway, I reached my stop in just 15 minutes! It was fantastic."
Prompt: "Listen carefully. There is one factually incorrect detail in my story about the Almaty Metro. Can you spot it? Discuss with your neighbor for 30 seconds." Feedback: Takes answers. (The mistake: The statue at the station is of composer Kurmangazy Sagyrbayuly, not Abai. Abai has a station named after him). "Excellent spotting! Yes, we have stations named after great people like Abai and Kurmangazy. This shows how our metro celebrates our culture. Today, we will learn more about this amazing part of our city." |
Students listen attentively. They discuss in pairs to identify the mistake. Volunteers share their answers with the class. | Descriptors:
|
- Teacher's script. - Images of Almaty Metro stations (Raiymbek Batyr, Almaty, etc.) displayed on screen. - AI Tool Suggestion: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) could be used beforehand to create a "wrong" image (e.g., a metro station with incorrect symbols) to make the trigger more visual. |
