9.3 Extending skills
Tell students to decide which word in each line has the stress in a different place to the others. Set for pairwork.
Feed back visually on both questions with the whole class. Elicit answers. You could play the recording again to model the words.

Explain to students that lecturers sometimes talk about topics which are not very relevant to the main point of the lecture. When the lecturer does this, it is called a digression. Very often the lecturer will use language to signal that what they are about to say is a digression. Students have already seen an example of a digression: the lecturer’s story about her own experiences when she discusses coding in Part 1 of the lecture in Lesson 9.2.
Tell students to look at the phrases in the box and think about when the lecturer might use them. Explain that they have to decide whether the phrases are likely to be used in relation to a digression, or a relevant point. Explain that some of the phrases mark the beginning of a digression; others mark the end of a digression, when the lecturer is making a transition back to the main point.
You may want to tell students that they have heard some of these phrases before: some of them occurred in the lecture in Lesson 9.2, some appeared in previous units and others are new.
SKILLS BANK 9.2 Recognizing digressions in a lecture
You could refer students to Skills Bank 9.2 at this point.
Set for individual work and pairwork checking. Feed back visually with the whole class, using the answers opposite.

Refer students to the handout in Lesson 9.2. Elicit what they know already about games development and games in society, and ask them to make a note of any questions they would still like the lecturer to answer.
Ask students to prepare a page to take notes using the Cornell system. Remind them that they may not be able to note down all the relevant information as they listen. If they miss something, they should leave a space. They can fill it in after the lecture.
Let students read the questions through, and tell them to listen out for the answers to questions 2, 3 and 4. Check that students understand that questions 2 and 3 relate to a digression.
1.–4. Set for individual work. Tell students they should complete the Notes section.

Play Part 3 straight through. Elicit the answers, and feed back verbally.
5. Set students to work in pairs with small-group checking.
3.2 Asking for information SKILLS BANK
Encourage them to practise language for asking for information from other students – they could refer back to Skills Bank 3.2.
