The teacher asks students to participate in a short memory game. First, she reads aloud a list of ten unrelated words, and students listen attentively without taking notes. They are then asked to individually write down as many words as they can remember. Next, students complete a brief distractor task by listing five countries that start with the letter “S.” Finally, students are asked to recall and write down the words from the original list once more. The teacher then asks, “Did you notice any difference in how many words you could remember? What strategies helped you recall the words?” Students discuss their observations in pairs and share strategies with the class. The teacher elicits key strategies such as repetition, visualization, and grouping.

Students first think about what they know about memory and search individually for relevant information for 1 minute. They then pair up to share and discuss their findings before a brief whole-class feedback session.

The teacher reads the lecture text aloud in a natural tone. Students listen carefully and take notes while listening, without seeing the questions in advance.

After the listening, students are provided with a set of questions related to the lecture. They use the notes they took during listening to answer the questions individually within 15 minutes. After completing the questions, students compare their answers with a partner. They discuss any discrepancies and justify their responses to each other, clarifying misunderstandings and reinforcing comprehension through peer interaction. After pair discussions, students come together in small groups to compare and review each other’s notes. They identify additional information they may have missed individually and learn alternative ways of recording and organizing key points.

Students discuss how technology (smartphones, apps) has changed the way we remember information. They first reflect individually, then share ideas in pairs, and finally justify their opinions in a whole-class discussion.

Students begin by reading a short story that includes the target collocations and match each collocation with its corresponding definition. Next, they complete a report by filling in the blanks with the target collocations. Afterward, they focus on the collocation pairs to identify patterns and understand how the words naturally combine. Finally, students apply the collocations in practice by creating their own sentences and engaging in a role-play activity as a Consultant and Memory Expert, discussing memory challenges and strategies with their peers.
