Procedure (38-48 minutes)
- T divides the students into 2 teams and tells them they are going to make one word out of the given letters. - As an example, T writes on the board the letters 'O, O, K, B', and asks the students what the word is. - After that T gives out the sets of cards with the letters of the word 'COUNTRY' and tells them to find out what the word is in 30 seconds. - The team, who guesses the word first, will win. - WC FB. T elicits from students the meaning of the word. Works on pronunciation.
- T puts the country words with the vowels missing on the walls of the classroom. - T asks students which letters in the Alphabet are vowels (a,e,i,o,u) - T asks students to write the number 1 through 8 for to write the country names by doing the same on WB. - Students go around and write down the countries in their notebooks. - When they finish, T will have them do peerchecking by asking questions "What's #1?" - "How do you spell it?" - WC FB: T gets individual students to spell out the words and writes them on WB.
- T pre-teaches the word 'nationality' by putting up the 'Nationality' flash card. T elicits from the students first: T asks 'Your country?' - students should be able to say 'Turkey'. Then T asks 'your nationality', if they can't answer, T just can give the answer. - T asks the students to write the nationality words for each country written on WB, just to see if they can do it or not. - After 30 seconds, T puts up the flashcards on WB and asks them to work in pairs and try to match countries with nationalities. - T does WC FB by asking individual students for the correct answers.
- Students listen to T saying the country and nationality words like 'Italy- Italian', and T has them repeat. - While drilling T puts the stress on the words. - Highlights that the same syllable is stressed in most nationalities. - Circles the different stress patterns, like in Italy - Italian. - T takes the flashcards off the board, so now students could check each other in pairs: one student tells a country, the other one gives a suitable nationality. - T plays a game - have 2 teams" one person from each team stands up and T shows the country word. Whoever says a nationality word first, gets a point.
- T writes on WB 'I'm from _______. and I'm _______________.' Then T shows students her passport and elicitsthe answers.

ex 6: - T asks them to fill in the blanks individally. - WC FB if it's needed. - T asks students this question 'Who's your partner?' in order to keep them in pairs. - T asks them to match the sentences with the pictures A-D. - After they finish, T says 'sooo, 6 sentences'... and reads #1, asks one student for the correct answer and asks the question 'Why?' - and students has to be able to say, 'because Sao Paolo is in Britain.' - Then, have them finish the rest by doing the same. Elicit the meanings of the words 'why and because'.
!In order to be flexible, previous two stages can be skipped. - T shows the students all the pictures and says the appropriate sentences like ''He's from the USA or It's German and so on'. - T drills the sentences. - T gives the pictures out to for each students. - T demonstrates the activity: T tells about her picture and lets a student tell about his, and exchanges their cards and finds another partner.
