Speak in Meaning Groups

Model the whole sentence, then practise meaning groups before rebuilding it. Ask learners to say a different request without adding a pause after every written word. Do not mark one chunking pattern as the only valid pattern.

Teach it in five minutes

1. One minute: play the models without correction. Ask what difference learners notice.
2. One minute: complete the three listening questions; elicit the evidence for each answer.
3. One minute: reveal the written patterns and practise the target contrast or rhythm.
4. Two minutes: use the shadow sentence, then exchange a new sentence with a partner. Let the listener report what they understood.

Model examples

• Could you / send me / the details?
• I would like / a quiet room / please.
• Let me check / the time / again.

Answer guidance

1. The details: The speaker asks someone to send the details.
2. I would like a quiet room, please.: The request is for a quiet room.
3. The time: The speaker will check the time again.
