Inquiring about a Job



Note to Teacher: Suggestions for Using Objective #33 Materials: Beginning HighIntroduce the materials in the order they appear in this guide and in the student booklets. Lessons have been set up to follow a natural progression to teach students the vocabulary, listening, speaking and writing skills that they will need to be successful in the assessment tasks. The materials take the learner step by step from the vocabulary words to simulated assessment tasks.Plan to implement the lesson materials at least 8-12 hours over several days immediately preceding the assessment day to prepare students for the assessment. Repeat lessons as needed or remind students to review lessons they may have missed to accommodate absences. Show the video demonstration of the level-appropriate oral assessment tasks to your students on at least 2-3 occasions to ensure that all students understand what is required of them in the assessment.Note: Oral assessment (inquiring about a job) and written assessment (fill out a job application) will be administered on the same day.For questions about implementation of these materials, please contact Jan Forstrom at jforstro@sdccd.edu or 619-388-4522.Expansion Activities1.

Presenting information gap activities:Use a transparency of a Student A paper. Explain the task. Model the task. Point to each step on the transparency and demonstrate correct statements and questions, or elicit correct responses from the students. Repeat the statements and questions, having the students repeat statements and questions after you. Ask for a volunteer to be Student A. Make up answers for the questions about the job. Write the information on the transparency, using key words only. Model the task again with two or three more students, each time writing the key words on the transparency to demonstrate proper note-taking. . 2. Partner PracticeInstruct the students to find partners. Have students decide who is Student A and who is Student B. Have “Student A’s” raise their hands. Have “Student B’s” raise their hands. Direct students to find appropriate Student A/Student B pages in their student booklets. Tell the students to put their pencils on the table. Have two students model the task orally while the other students listen.Have the students practice the task in pairs: Student A is the caller. He/she asks questions and takes notes on the information provided by Student B. Student B listens to the questions posed by Student A, then reads the information in the ads to answer the questions. On subsequent days, repeat the presentation of task and facilitate partner practice using additional information gap activities found in this guide to insure that all students have had plentiful rmation GapPage 1 of 2Speaking, Listening and Note-taking PracticeStudent AAsk Student B questions about the missing information.

It would be helpful to show the video demonstration of the oral assessment before proceeding. Showing the video every day for the last few days before assessment will build student confidence and increase understanding of what will take place during the oral assessment.Use a transparency of a Student A form to show students the required steps for the oral assessment and the note-taking form they’ll use. Point out that they will only ask three questions during the assessment. Using a transparency of the form, demonstrate how to check the three items they plan to ask about during the assessment role-play.Model the oral assessment with a student volunteer.Ask a student volunteer to come to the front of the room. Place the transparency of Student A form on the overhead projector. Direct the student to first check the 3 items he/she will ask about during the simulated phone call. Tell the student to take notes during the call on the transparency. Copy a job ad from a Student B page onto the board to demonstrate the place of business and the job opening to be discussed in the role-play. Follow the script that follows on the next page and use the information on selected Student B page to answer student volunteer’s questions about the job. Allow time for the student to take notes on the transparency.After completing the demonstration, ask the student volunteer two comprehension questions about information you provided during the role-play. Direct the student volunteer to refer to his/her notes to answer your questions. Repeat the demonstration several times using several different student volunteers. Direct students to practice the role-play using the Student A form and a Student B pages. Have partners change roles so that each person performs both the role of caller and role of person at company who has information about the job opening. Make additional copies of the Student A note-taking form as needed for additional practices on subsequent days to insure that all students get plenty of practice. Use any and all of the Student B papers for final practices. All vocabulary in the oral assessment is found in the final activities that follow. FINAL REVIEW - Show the video once again and repeat the demonstration of the role-play on the day of assessment prior to arrival of examiner. Then allow students to practice in pairs using additional Student A forms and selected Student B pages from the student booklets.Note: Both the oral assessment and written assessment (fill out a job application) will be implemented on the same day.

Answer the questions.Note to the Teacher:Preparing Students for Assessment Task 2: Fill out a job application – Beginning High Students will fill out a job application using information provided them on an information sheet. In order to standardize the assessment, students will NOT fill out job applications about themselves for the assessment task, but will complete the form using information about a fictitious person.The activities found in the student booklet simulate the assessment task.Use a variety of grouping strategies for maximum effectiveness. Have students work in pairs, alone, in groups, etc. to complete the practice application activities. Then make additional copies of the blank application and have students fill them out using their own personal information.Note: Answer keys for all practice applications are found in this guide. You may provide copies for students to check their own work (for students absent during practice) or for students to check their work with a partner or in a group. To personalize the instruction, you can have the students practice filling out the application forms using their own information even though the assessment task will involve information about a fictitious person.Note To Teacher: VOCABULARY FORJOB APPLICATIONSThe following are words your students will encounter in the job application lessons and may encounter in the assessment.
