Please complete this task carefully as it is one of the factors we take into consideration when making a decision about your application. You may like to refer to a grammar book when preparing your answers - e.g. Oxford Learner s Grammar, Grammar Finder by John Eastwood or Grammar for English Language Teachers by Martin Parrott, published by Cambridge University Press. The task is made up of three sections: correcting student s mistakes, helping students understand differences in meaning and a writing task. Please complete all sections. 1. Correcting a student s mistakes Each of the exchanges below contains a mistake. In each case: What is the correct version? b) What is the mistake? c) Write in simple terms, as if speaking to a learner of English, how you would make the correction clear Example Did you go to the concert last week? No, I would of gone but I couldn t afford it. No, I would have gone but I couldn t afford it b) The learner has used of instead of have to talk about something they wanted to do but didn t. When we say would have, we say it quickly, so it sounds like would of or woulda, but would of doesn t make sense grammatically. c) I would make this clear by writing the sentence on the board and underlining the error. I would say, After would we need to use have plus the past participle verb. We can contract would have to would ve I could say the full sentence slowly, and then repeat it, getting faster and faster until at normal speed so the students could hear it naturally. 5 visit ihlondon.com call +44 (0)20 7611 2400 tweet @ihlondon

Q1.4 Why didn t you answer the phone? Because I had a bath. b) The corrected version is c) I would make this clear by 2. Helping students understand differences in meaning In the following examples: Comment on the differences in meaning between the following pairs of sentences b) Outline some ideas on how you might teach these differences in meaning Example She was very nervous in class. She was very shy in class. b) There is a difference in meaning between nervous and shy. Nervous means she is worried or anxious. She is not calm. Maybe she thinks something bad will happen if she speaks in class or she thinks she will make lots of mistakes and doesn t want people to hear them. Shy means she doesn t like to speak and is very quiet in class. She is not confident, and maybe an introvert. I would show the difference by giving a context for each situation and asking questions. E.g. Today there is an important exam. How do you feel, nervous or shy? You could also use visuals to support the contexts by showing a picture of someone who is nervous and someone who is shy. You could use gestures/mime/facial expressions to show the difference in meaning. For nervous, I could wipe the imaginary sweat from my face or bite my nails. For shy I could hide behind my hand. Q2.1 If I had the money, I would buy a new car. If I have the money, I ll buy a new car. The difference in meaning is b) I would teach this by 7 visit ihlondon.com call +44 (0)20 7611 2400 tweet @ihlondon
