Lesson 1B: Where are you from?

In this lesson, Sts continue with the verb be focusing on the he, she, and it forms. In the fist part of the lesson, Sts learn fourteen country words. He is, She is, and It is are presented through a dialogue about two singers, where they are from, and a concert. The pronunciation introduces Sts to the concept of sentence stress, and practices the /ɪ/, /oʊ/, and /ɛ/ sounds. Finally, in the speaking activity, Sts guess the nationality of singers who are very famous in their country
but probably less famous internationally. Note: Because Sts are beginners, the number of countries taught in the Vocabulary Bank is restricted to fourteen and these same countries are then recycled and reviewed in subsequent lessons. Teachers may also want to teach Sts the names of their own countries in English as well as
those of neighboring countries if these do not appear in the Vocabulary Bank.
