Students will be given a HO to do a matching exercise as a test. They have 2 minutes to do this test. ICQs: Are you going to do the exercise in pairs? How much time do you have? Then the students will check their answers in pairs. This will be done in 1 minute. While they are busy peer checking, the teacher will monitor to choose the vocabularies that need to be clarified. Then she will ask them to write their answers on the board, and corrects the ones that are wrong.
The teacher will write some of the vocabulary items on the board to clarify the form and pronunciation. Drilling will be done as a practice of pronunciation.
The teacher will tell the students that they are going to read a text, in which Robin describes his wife, then she gives the students a HO of a listening transcript in which Robin is talking about Francoise. The teacher tells them that after reading it they should be able to describe Robin's wife. They will read it individually in 2 minutes. Then in pairs they should discuss Francoise's character. The teacher asks some of the students to write some descriptions of her character on the board. Then the students themselves will do error correction.
Each student will be given a sticker on which some target vocabulary is written. They have to stick it on their foreheads. In pairs they will describe each other. Then some of the students will be asked to describe their tags. Error correction will be done on the WB.
