STAGE 1

• Activate previous knowledge regarding dictionaries by asking Ss questions such as: “Who uses dictionaries? Are they important to learn a language? Do you have some dictionaries at school or at home? Can they help you learn? How? What kind of dictionaries do you know?” If possible, take Ss to the school’s library and ask them to check the dictionaries available. An alternative activity is to take Ss to the media room. Have them explore different kinds of dictionaries. Arrange teams and ask them to share what they found in terms of intended audience (e.g. dictionaries for kids like the picture dictionary, monolingual, bilingual, specialized, thesaurus, etc.).

Stage 2

Determine the words, definitions and abbreviations the instruction manual will refer to.

In case there are not enough dictionaries, Ss can work in teams using handouts and make a chart with the above mentioned items in their notebooks.

Ask every team to provide three examples of each element using words from their dictionaries. Early finishers might help draw on the board the same grid so the teams can share their words and clarify doubts. Make sure Ss are aware of their functions as well.

Provide Ss with stripes of paper with parts of speech (e.g. Nouns - used to name persons, places, things or ideas, etc.). Ss can write down or use a copy of the headword and add a column with the function of each part of speech. Encourage reflection on the relevance of distinguishing the part of speech to determine meaning through examples in sentences, e.g.: “We took an express train” and “I am running a marathon next month so I train every day”.
