Materials
Main Aims
-
Reinforce & give Ss practice of conditionals (0, 1, 2) in context.
Subsidiary Aims
-
Enable students to gain flexibility and confidence when speaking
Procedure (48-55 minutes)
- Briefly elicit examples of different conditionals from Ss, placing emphasis on present/future combinations before moving on to 'would', 'could', 'had', 'was/were' during the second period of the class. - Give out prompts to be completed for practice.
FOR EACH PERIOD: - Read the exercises in the prompts out loud together with students, randomly asking them to fill out the blanks. - Now, have them write more sentences individually using daily examples of their own to be read aloud.
FOR EACH PERIOD: - Review & reinforce use by summarizing the formation of each conditional category, reminding Ss of typical situations where these would be employed. - For oral practice and to improve their confidence, test Ss by having them verbally give each other a lead-in phrase in pairs, allowing the other to complete the sentence/idea using a suitable conditional.
