WHO ARE YOU?

Teaching Notes

Introduction

Everybody wants to find out more about themselves, which is why questionnaires are so irresistible. They also provide an ideal

means of stimulating conversation, especially as a lead-in to a new topic.

The 20 questionnaires presented in this Resource Pack can be used with students from Lower Intermediate level upwards.

The higher the level of the learners, the less pre-teaching of new lexis is required.

Although questionnaires can be used in the classroom in a number of ways, the approaches outlined below provide practice in a

variety of skills, and cut Teacher Talking Time down to a minimum.

Method 1 (mainly reading skills leading to discussion )

1. Before the lesson, choose a questionnaire. Make photocopies of that master for each student BUT cut off the section which

provides the Answer Key. The students will see that later!

2. In class, introduce the subject of the questionnaire and pre-teach some relevant vocabulary. Key lexical items are printed in

italics in the questionnaires and also listed on the back inside cover.

3. Distribute the questionnaires and set a time limit for completion. Decide this according to your class but 10 minutes might be

reasonably challenging.

4. Students work individually to complete the questionnaires by putting a, b, c or d in the choice column .

They can ask each other, and you, for help with comprehension.

5. Give out the Answer Key. Students work out their scores.

6. Gather data ( “How many scored 0-9?” , for example) by a show of hands and use it to lead a discussion on the validity of the

particular questionnaire. “What other questions should have been asked?” “Are there any particularly good/silly questions?”

“Do you agree with the scoring system/the conclusions?”

✍

Method 2 ( mainly listening skills leading to discussion and reading)

Steps 1 & 2 as before.

3. Arrange the students in small groups of three or four. Give a questionnaire to one student only in the group. Set a time limit.

Allow longer than for Method 1.

4. The student with the questionnaire is the interviewer . He/she presents it to the group as a listening comprehension

exercise. Encourage the Interviewer to take on the role of Teacher explaining and or simplifying the questions as required, but

not showing the questionnaire. The other members of the group listen to the situations, clarify their understanding, and make a

note of their chosen response.

5. Give out the Answer key. Students work out their scores.

6. Give out copies of the questionnaire so that everyone can check the language.

7. Broaden the discussion as in Method 1.

Note These questionnaires are motivating, full of useful language and fun to use. They can be also very illuminating. They are

not , however, presented as deep psychological analysis!
