Well, I am from Colombia in my case they usually know a little about the topic, so What I do is to create the atmosphere, I make two lists on board and I asked them what�s the difference between them, then try two things. one ok tell one example each very quickly very quickly. type and print pieces of paper with both of them (count and uncon) I paste them on the wall and they have organize them including some challenging words like furniture, and other like that. then I tell them they going to supermarket they have to amke the list to shop including vocabulary about containers, and then we visit a supermarket with a sheet where write info abotu the products like prices, containers and things like that, then they present the info to the class.

 

Hope it�s useful..

 

Merry Christmas
