ADVANCED STUDENTS 

Advanced learners can generally communicate well, having learnt all the basic structures of the language. However, they need to broaden their vocabulary to express themselves more clearly and appropriately in a wide range of situations.For example: recognizing vocabulary, being able to pick out key words and syntactic patters, distinguishing the main idea from supporting details, recognize grammatical word classes etc.

1. Pre listening activities. They have the purpose of either providing or activating background knowledge (discussion of the topic, brainstorming, predicting content, guided questions).

●

2. During listening activities. They have the purpose of helping students to develop the listening skills required for effective listening. They can be: filling blanks, following instructions, identifying specific information, taking notes.

●

3. After listening activities. They have the purpose of checking comprehension. True/false questions. Paraphrasing. Writing letters, notes, etc. related to the content of the oral text. Summarizing. Expressing the main idea of an oral text. Discussing, dramatizing, etc.

    Advanced students need preparation and stimulus when writing. Express a particular meaning in different grammatical form. Convey links and connections between events and communicate such relations as main idea, supporting idea, new information, given information, generalization, and exemplification.

     Activities: Writing letters, biographies, proyects, future job or profession, note-taking,  fill in the blank , synonyms, antonyms, etc.

   Reading is a multifaceted process involving word recognition, comprehension, fluency, and motivation. There are three main strategies reading which we use in different situations:

1. Scanning: Reading quickly in order to find a specific point or item.

2.  Skimming: Reading quickly to get a general idea or what the text is about.

3. Reading for detail: Reading all of a particular text to find out specific information. Tips: Make it interactive using highlighting or note-taking to record important aspects.
