Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Lead-in (3 min): Ask: "What do you like about your best friend or sibling?" Pair discussion. Model and demonstrate using ICQs. Elicit responses and introduce adjectives (reliable, resilient, easy-going). Quick feedback.

Test #1 (7-10 minutes) • To gauge students' prior knowledge of the target language

Work alone: Match the idioms to their meanings. Check answers with a partner. Teacher reads the meaning, students provide the idiom.

Teach (15-20 minutes) • To clarify areas of the target language where students had difficulty in the first test stage

Teach (MFP - Meaning, Form, Pronunciation): Meaning: Elicit synonyms. Use CCQs and provide situational examples. Personalization: Ask students if they know someone who fits a certain idiom. Form: Identify which idioms use "to be" and which use "to have." Highlight hedging (e.g., "A bit of a goldfish" to soften tone). Explain compound adjectives (e.g., quick-tempered). Pronunciation: Focus on linking, catenation, and intrusion. Practice phrases: "Down to earth," "Heart of gold," "Pain in the neck." Model and drill pronunciation. Pair practice.

Test #2 (8-10 minutes) • Check students' use of the target language again and compare with the first test

Test (Application - 5 min): Work alone: Replace words in sentences with idioms. Peer feedback.

Free practice (13-15 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Production (Speaking Task - 8 min): Group work: Talk about two people they like and one they don’t. One minute to prepare. Students share in small groups. Whole-class feedback.
