Rationale for lesson

The reason why radio advertisement has been chosen is due to the following:

• I would expect students listen to the radio everyday. They are exposed to radio advertisement whether it is in English or in their native language. It is a useful area to explore as students will pick up a few words used in advertisements and hence generate interest in learning the language.

• This area will be interesting as some students may not like a particular advertisement and some may do. This will encourage a healthy discussion amongst the students. A lead in/ warmer can be introduced regarding this subject followed by activities after the listening exercise that would encourage students to practice their productive skill (listening).

• This exercise was chosen because students require a lot of concentration while listening to the task hence it demands listening. It also gives an opportunity for students to check their answers in pairs. (Scrivener 2005, p. 176).

• This lesson is appropriate to the upper-intermediate students as they should have the knowledge of lexis relating to advertisements. This means I can concentrate on a few words for lexis and therefore allow more time for the students to focus on their skills based part (listening) and their follow on tasks.

TASKS

Task 1: The pre-listening task (p.64)

This task is a good introduction to the topic of radio advertisements as it is easy. This will be a good lead in to the topic. Students will be asked to state their favourite advertisement and if they listen to the radio. A top down method has been used in this exercise where we are making use of what we already know to assist us to foresee the content and structure of the text. This gives an overall impression of the message (Scrivener 2005 p. 178).

(Scrivener, 2005) states that we cannot use a bottom-up method i.e.

    We read adverts as a whole, unconsciously absorbing all of the elements, signs, implicit and explicit, that are designed to work in unison. The mental short-hand we use for deciphering pictures and words to decode them, which is especially pertinent to advertising, immediately informs us that the advertisement is not for pleasure, but for our attention; to encourage us to choose one brand over another, and to consume.…

    Advertising, in any form, contains within itself an element of persuasion. Advertising that is purely informative is often all that is needed to persuade a reader or listener to buy the product. Persuasion is not the result merely of using strong words and phrases to urge people to buy a product or accept an idea. Persuasion is a two-way process. In the case of advertising, it involves a recognition or belief on the part of the reader or listener that the advertised product will satisfy a need or desire. When a person is already clearly conscious of some need or want, and a product exists that will satisfy that need or want, it requires very little in the way of advertising to persuade the person to buy. Under such conditions, all an advertisement needs is an announcement of the product’s existence, its price and where it can be bought. When consumers are not conscious of specific needs o wants or when the qualities of a product are not clearly observable, it then becomes the task of advertising to interpret the hidden qualities of the product in terms of basic human desires.…

    ➢ Get a copy of a local daily paper, a national paper and a national newsmagazine and bring each to class. Rather than look at the articles, focus on the advertisements. You can ignore the “supplements” that often come with the paper. Take a guess at what the ratio of Ads to articles is, then count the number of Ads in the first section of each newspaper or an entire newsmagazine and compare it to the number of news articles. Look at the sizes of Ads and their content. Take note of the Ads that appear in particular sections, such as Sports or Business. What can you conclude about the kind of audience toward which the Ads are directed? Are there any obvious or subtle connections between any of the advertisements and the stories in the paper? Do any of the stories have the quality of an Ad– announcing the opening of a new store, for example? Are there any Ads that have the quality of a news story making claims about a new weight-reducing pill, for example? Are the Ads clearly labelled as advertisements or distinguished from the news in other ways, such as being enclosed in a border?…
