Delta Module One, Paper 1, Task 3 : what learners need to know (1)

1.3

You will be given a section of published ELT materials and directed to some of the language features learners would need to be able to command successfully to complete the task.
Your task is to provide three more things they need to know with examples of what you mean.
This question carries 12% of the possible marks so spend no more than 10 minutes on it.

This task for the learners is a familiar information-gap one.
Learner A is given a town-centre map with half the information missing and Learner B gets a map with the other half missing.  Between them, they have to fill in the information that is missing from their maps.  In other words, they are practising asking for and giving information about where things are.
They are asked to imagine that they have accosted a stranger on the street to ask for information so they have to be as polite as possible.
An example of part of what the learners have is something like:

Student A Student B

The learners will, of course, need to be able to:

  1. Use simple prepositions of place, e.g., opposite, in, at etc.
  2. Ask questions with where ...?
  3. Use the copular verb be in, e.g., It is in Hope Street

Can you come up with three more things with examples that the learners will need to be able to do to complete the task?  In the examination, you only need three but think of more if you can.
Click here for a list of 12 possibilities when you have.

You may have thought of others.  You only have to find three but you must exemplify all of them (as above).
