My Favorite Film
Elementary Higher A level

Description

In this lesson, learners will focus on one of the systems which are vocabulary and the skill of listening for gist and specific information. There will be a productive speaking activity, at the end of the lesson. The context of the lesson is based on films and how can we classify them into different genres. Students are familiar with this topic because they like watching films in their free time. Moreover, the cinema opened for the first time in Riyadh recently. In this session, students will listen and test their understanding of listening through listening to three people talk about a film. In this lesson, students will also do different activities. Apart from the lead in teacher will play a passive role and will monitor students for the errors and provide assistance. The output of the lesson will be speaking where students will be asked to talk with their partners about their favourite film.
