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.
