chants - when students repeat lines and lyrics in a rhythmic way as if (almost) singing. Useful for establishing stress and rhythm, chatting -> LIVE CHAT. check questions are asked by the teacher to make sure that students have understood a new situation, concept, piece of grammar or vocabulary item. choral repetition is when the teacher gets all the students to repeat a short phrase or sentence at the same time and with the same rhythm. chorus is the word used to describe any situation (such as in a drill) when the class speak together using the same words, rhythm, stress, etc. chorus reaction - when the teacher divides the class into, say, two halves and each half, speaking in chorus, takes one part of a dialogue or responds in some other way separately from the other half. circle seating - a situation where students and the teacher sit in a circle. class-to-class is when one class works with another, doing surveys and questionnaires, for example. clauses are parts of sentences with a subject and a verb. They are often joined together by conjunctions. -> Chapter 5 pages 60-61 cloze - a test in which every nth word is randomly replaced by a gap/blank for the students to FILL IN. Different from MODIFIED CLOZE. cognitive effort is when students are encouraged to think about what they are seeing, hearing or working on - rather than, say, just repeating mindlessly. coherence (1) - in a lesson plan, coherence is where the pattern or ‘shape’ of the lesson makes sense. Instead of being a chaotic mess, there is some sensible sequence or THREAD/S to the lesson. (2) - in writing, coherence is when writers organise their ideas in a logical (or coherent) way. -> Chapter 5 pages 76-78
