Metacognition questionary
- 1. Metacognition questionary Unit 1: In this unit, you have learnt expressions we use for asking for and offering advice and support, linking words, and the First Conditional. Before you continue to the text unit, review the contents of Unit 1 and plan ahead. Here are some learning tips. Make a general outline of what you are learning (you can use graphs, tables, drawings, etc.) and in what situations you can use it. Look at the first page of Unit 2 and check how what you learnt in Unit 1 is related to the new contents. Ask: “What will I be able to do differently because of learning this?” Look through Unit 1 paying special attention to headings, pictures, tables, etc. Does this help you to remember things better? Ask: “What do I already know about this?” and “What do I still need to find out?” If you follow this advice you will be able to consolidate your knowledge and get ready for the new contents in the next unit. Unit 2: In this unit, you have learnt how to request and exchange information and you consolidated your knowledge of the First Conditional and linking words. Before you continue to the next unit, review contents of Unit 2 and evaluate your progress. Here are some useful tips. Structure and organise the information you are studying and what you still need to learn. When studying unfamiliar material, take the time to think about how this information relates to things that you already know. Teach the concepts and contents you know well to a classmate – it will help you to remember better. Follow this advice to consolidate your knowledge and be ready for the next unit.
- 2. Unit 3: In this unit, you have learnt how to find information in oral and written texts and also how to express suggestions and recommendations. Before you continue to the next unit, review the contents of Unit 3 and evaluate your progress. Here are some learning tips you should use. Before reading or listening, focus all your attention on the task at hand. When reading or listening to a new text, decide what the main idea is. Decide in what situations you should apply your new knowledge. Decide how relevant what you have learnt is and pinpoint the areas you still need to revise and improve. If you follow the advice offered, you will be able to consolidate your knowledge and get ready for the new unit. Unit 4: In this unit, you have learnt how to locate and infer information and how to express certainty, uncertainty, knowledge, or its absence. Before you continue to the next unit, review the contents of Unit 4 and evaluate your progress. Use these learning tips. Remember that predicting is an idea you think will come true, while inferring is making an educated guess based on provided information. Inference is nor based on hard facts; it is based on subtle information that the reader must find. To help you infer, you can use a simple chart with three columns. What I know My inference Proof from the text When you infer, you can use expressions of certainty or uncertainty to indicate how sure you are. If you follow the advice offered, you will be able to consolidate your knowledge and get ready for the new unit.
- 3. Unit 5: In this unit, you have learnt how to match visual and written dues, establish the purpose of a text, and express different emotions. Here are some learning tips. Crate graphic organisers/tables to establish sequence and purpose of text. You will understand the text better if you have some prior information about it. Use diagrams to display large amount of information in ways that are easy to understand and help to reveal relationships and patterns. Practise expressing emotions using different pictures as clues.
