Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Play an audio video on your phone or laptop and let learners listen carefully. Set a task to guide them to focus on the activity.
- Discuss what they saw and heard. Learners in their groups describe what they saw and heard and do a presentation.
- Select a real life scenario e.g. head teacher addressing the school after winning the sports competition. Learners in groups organise their speech; elect a representative to read while others listen.
