Step IV Asking for clarification
Activity 1 Ask students to read the conversation and answer the following questions.
Questions: What does Zhou Wei want to buy?
Why does Martin feel puzzled about what Zhou Wei wants to buy?
What misunderstanding has happened ?
How do they clear up the misunderstanding?
Suggested answer:Zhou Wei wants to buy some pants. In American English,“pants” refers to trousers. But the word “pants”means underwear in British English. Martin explains that“pants” refers to underwear in British English.
Activity 2 Ask students to role-play the conversation and find out the expressions to ask for clarification.
Confusion:You don't ?Really ?What does it mean?
Clarification: That's what I mean by...I knew what you mean.
Other expressions:Do you mean...?I'm sorry. Would you mind repeating....?I beg your pardon. So am I right in saying..?So what you're really saying is...
Activity 3 Ask students to choose one or two pairs of words and make a conversation asking for clarification with the expressions above.
Step V Summary
In this lesson, we listened to and talked about differences between British English and American English and learned how to ask for clarification when we do not under-stand other people.
Although there are some clear differences in pronunciation between British English and American English accents,they do not lead to communication difficulties. As learners, we don't have to worry about copying British or American English accents. A focus on correct intonation and stress is more important.
