Assumptions:

-	the teacher's style of teaching and the pace of the course

-	most of them are familiar with the concept of a party

Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

-     Students may not be able to follow the passage easily

→ Follow the task-feedback circle: let them listen to the dialogue again until they

get the gist of the content

-	Students may have difficulty in solving the detailed questions

→ Chunk the listening (pause-play- pause-play)

-    Students may need more time to work on the vocabulary

→ If it takes longer than 5 minutes, cut answer-checking short by verbally sharing

the answers

-     If time is short

→ Cut the post-listening activity short and let students ask his/her partner to join the

party

-     If students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated

→ Ask as many students as possible about their experiences of a party

Listening Script

Carol and Paul's friend Ned is having a babeque.

Carol   :   So, I guess I'll see you on Saturday then.

Paul    :   Huh? I wasn't planning on doing anything then.

Carol   :   Have you forgotten about the barbeque that Ned's throwing? He just had his patio

repaired and he's looking to christen it for the summer.

Everyone's going to be there.

Paul    :   This is the first I've heard of it. I must not have been invited.

Carol   :   Don't be silly. Of course, you're invited. Ned must have assumed that you already

knew about it. He just called up a few people and told them to spread the word.

Paul    :   In that case, I should bring something.

Carol   :   No, no. Ned said that he's going to take care of all the food, but it's BYOB.

Paul    :   What's that?

Carol   :   BYOB - you know, bring your own booze. If you want to drink, you should bring some

beer or wine.

Paul    :   Actually, I'm trying to cut back. I've put on a bit of a beer belly.

Carol   :   Then don't feel bad about coming empty-handed. If you really want to help, maybe

you could man the grill for awhile. I'm sure that you'll do a better job of it than Ned.

Paul    :   No way. That's Ned's baby. He doesn't let anyone near it. I'd rather sit and dine on

condiments than to grill for him.

Carol   :   Maybe we should bring some side dishes that don't have to be grilled.

Paul    :   I'm sure the food won't be that bad. He puts a lot of effort into it.

Carol   :   I guess I can't really complain about free food.
