    DEFINITION OF TERMS: 2
     
    CHORUSING:
     
    Rapidly repeating phrases 
    three or four times 
    with a recording. 
     
    The 4-peat provides
    a correct pronunciation model.
     
    Students get four chances
    to match their voices 
    to the recording.
     
    Most students hit 
    a 90% correct level
    by the fourth chorusing try.
     
    This reduces anxiety
    about verbal ability.
     
    TELL-BACK: 
     
    Orally relate (tell-back) 
    the content of a reading 
    to a partner.
     
    Practice speaking skills.
     
    Must be done
    immediately after a reading
    before memory decay.
     
    Use memory trigger 
    or memory pattern notes
    as a guide.
     
    Include as much detail
    as can be recalled.
     
    If students run out
    of things to say
    repeat the tell-back.
