  • Identify and understand the use of comparatives, superlatives, and adverbs of frequency in spoken English.

Subsidiary Aims

  • Respond to comprehension questions and discuss the listening content using the target language.

Procedure

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

Ask students: "What do you think makes a city 'better' than another?" "Who is the most famous person you know? Why?" "How often do you practice English?" Write key words from their responses on the board, highlighting comparatives, superlatives, and adverbs of frequency.

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Introduce key vocabulary: bigger, smaller, more expensive, the best, always, sometimes, rarely, never. Have students predict what kind of conversation they might hear in a travel vlog, interview, or casual discussion about habits and preferences

While-Reading/Listening #1 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Listening Lab 30

While-Reading/Listening #2 (18-20 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

First Listen (No Writing): Students listen to the audio/video and focus on general understanding Second Listen (With Notes): Students take notes on any comparatives, superlatives, or adverbs of frequency they hear. Comprehension Check: What is the main topic of the conversation? What words do the speakers use to compare things? How often does the speaker say they do certain activities?

Post-Reading/Listening (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Pair Discussion: Students discuss their answers and compare notes. Speaking Practice: In pairs, students discuss: "What’s the most interesting place you’ve visited?" "Who is the friendliest person you know?" "How often do you watch English movies?"
