Procedure

Lead-in (Stage 1) (5-7 minutes) • to engage Ss in speaking and to make the context of the lesson(greetings) interesting.

- greet the Ss and ask if they remember my name (if not, write on the board), and see if I can remember theirs by asking each one. - project the pictures (from course book) on the board. Activate the ss background knowledge by asking "what do you see in this picture?" "Is it a man or a woman?" "What color is her dress?".. - Put ss in pairs and ask them to work together to match the places to the photos. ( I have already written the places on the board). - Monitor to ensure ss have understood. (walk around and listen) - WGFB. T: "where is picture A?"..Ss: "A TV-Studio"..etc

Listening for gist (Stage 2) (10 minutes) • to provide a controlled listening practice for gist

- Tell the ss they will hear some dialogues and that they will match the dialogues with the pictures. - Hand out the dialoges (Course book page 8). - Play the recording once. - Ss check with their partner - WGFB; quickly check ss have matched correctly with WG. - Tell ss they will listen again, this time they will write the missing words in the dialogue. - Peer check, then WGFB. (project the answers on the board)

Controlled practice (Stage 3) (5-7 minutes) • Introduce SS to present simple of to be, pos. and neg. forms

- Tell the ss they will fill in the gaps in Ex 2 (Coursebook page 8). PW. - Monitor and encourage to find answers in the dialogue (Ex 1B) - When most are finished, ask ss questions (CCQs) like "I`m- is the long form or the short form?" (short) "What is the long form?" (I am). "Is there a short form of the negative of I`m? (no) "What`s the negative of "is"? (Isn`t). What`s the negative of "are"? (aren`t). etc..
