Procedure (37-48 minutes)
I ask students: Do you go to malls? What do you buy? Then they start a pair work. they discuss these questions: Do you like shopping? Why?/Why not? When do you usually go shopping?
In this stage I present these expressions: Er, Let me see and I think about it. The first two expressions allow us time to think whereas the third expresses refusal. I do that in a context. Then I ask them to practice them in other contexts.
This is the first listening activity. Students listen to find the correct answer to this question: Which shops are Martina and Alex in? I tell them there are two conversations. The first is between Martina and a shop assistant and the second is between Alex and a shop assistant.They do the task then check pairs.
Students listen again for more specific detail. They do two tasks. They fill in the gaps with the correct word from the the listening material. They answer this question: What do they buy? They do that individually then they check in pairs.
There is a game called a disappearing dialogue. Students practice the conversation through rubbing out parts of it till they are able to say it from memory.I ask students to practice the conversation in the context of shopping for a mobile and a bag.
Students have a list of shopping items . They read it carefully. They listen to Martina and Alex. They underline the things they buy.Then they listen for more specific detail.They will answer some questions.
