Procedure (47-64 minutes)
The students are given 4 context to read alone then they need to practice them with their group partner and make a conversation similar to the contexts.The teacher will pay close attention to their discussion and will note their mistakes.
The students will be given some time to think about the context then they will be asked to discuss with their partners about the topic. After discussing they surely will have some problems with the new words and phrases so they will be asked to highlight the new vocabularies and phrases.
In order to practice the productive skills, the students need to work more and more on them. For example, they can be asked to talk more about the topic and add their own ideas related to the subject. Writing skills can be improved by asking the students to write down their ideas with their own sentences.
While the students are speaking about their given subject, the teacher can have some time to observe the students and maintain their functions and help them with new words and grammar.
When the students are done with talking about the topic, the teacher should ask them about the task and their idea about themselves that how good they think they did the job. It is important to be aware of the students' reactions to the result of the work.
After students' group work the teacher should ask them about their problems, which were not solved during the group work. They must have a note of their problems and ask the teacher to explain and elaborate them. While the students are trying to solve their problems the teacher has to listen carefully to their pronunciations and correct them if needed.
In order to make the students practice the task the teacher can give them some extra practices to improve their productive skills. The teacher should pay attention to the difficulty level of these practices and ask the students to do their best and be well-ready for the next session.
