Coffee: Notes for teachers and tips
Tip: use realia
Why not bring in a container of freshly ground coffee and ask students to sniff: what
images / thoughts / ideas do they have when they smell coffee? Elicit adjectives to
describe the smell.
4. Pre reading tasks.
@ Using the handout ask students to go through the questions. Do they
‘agree on how to make a cup of coffee?
Tip: personalise the topic
‘Students are always more interested in reading an article if they think it has something connected
with their lives
b Refer to the headings taken from the text. Students only spend a few
minutes trying to answer the questions, nothing to be written down.
2. Reading for gist
a Handout the text and ask student to match the headings with the
Paragraphs as quickly as possible,
Tip: encourage different reading skills
‘Students don't need to read all the text to do this so tell them that, and explain that in real life we
often skim a passage fo get overall meaning
‘The correct order of headings:
1 How did itall bogin? Kald's dancing goats
2 Who were the first coffee addicts? Mustims
3 How did it spread? by smuggling
4 What made Kald’’s goats dance? the caffeine
5 What is the Bean Belt? the tropics
$ Manual labour or machine? usually manual
7 Who ship, roast and retail the coffee? developed countries!
the North
b The students then read the article again in more detail. Remind them they
only need to give a very short answer (suggestions above) and do the
first one as an example.
Tip: use the headings
This is just one idea. Alternatively give the text first without the headings and students try to write
‘some (all questions in this case) and then compare with the originals. This makes the reading
more of a challenge and more motivating

Reading: Coffee
You may know that around the world more people drink
coffee than tea. And that, after oil, it is the second biggest
traded commodity. You may also know that the drink comes
from beans which are first roasted and then ground. But what
else do you know about this popular stimulant?
1
It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi. One
day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely: instead of
grazing quietly as normal they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed
the red cherries from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was
surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement - he felt ike dancing too!
2
But it wasn't used as @ drink at first, but as a food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal
fat, were used by monks to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Ethiopia
coffee was later cultivated in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around
‘AD 1000. Three centuries later Muslims were keen coffee drinkers and as Islam spread,
80 did coffee. Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.
3
For hundreds of years the plants were guarded safely. But some beans were smuggled
out of Arabia and taken to India. In the 17" century coffee was soon growing in a new
continent. From India to Indonesia and then a century later beans were smuggled once
again to Brazil-which is now the largest coffee producer in the worid.
4
It is the caffeine, an addictive stimulant drug, which made the goats dance and kept the
monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks, including tea, coffee has the
most caffeine. 150 milligrams is the minimum dose needed to stimulate the nervous
system and this can be found in a single strong cup of coffee. In the short-term a couple
of cups can prevent fatigue and delay sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can
cause anxiety and restlessness.
5
This is the band around the middle of the world between the tropics of Capricom and
Cancer. A coffee plant ikes lots of rain and shaded sun with rich soil, and the climate in
the bean belt is ideal, 70 - 75% of the world production is the milder, higher quality
Arabica that originated in Ethiopia. it grows best in higher altitudes where it is not so
hot. The remaining 25% is the stronger Robusta which can survive in higher
temperatures and lower altitudes.
