Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will Pre-teach some of the key terms for the lesson, and attempt to clarify there meaning before the readings and exercises.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

We will do a reading on capital cities, and work through the associated exercises from the Global Elementary book. I will use individual work and PW to get them discussing the main text.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will pre-teach several key Wh- question words, and clarify their use through the lesson. I will also encourage the students to work with each other in pairs.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

I will use simple examples and work to pronounce the specific lesson words clearly, slowly and accurately. I will encourage each student to make up simple sentences using these words.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

I will monitor the students and pose a series of simple CCQs throughout the lesson. "Where is your city?" "Where is X city (for example Paris; answer France)?" "Where do you like to travel? Which cities?" "Where would you travel if you could pick any city?" Et cetera...

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

We will discuss and engage with the suggested readings and exercises as a group, in pairs and and in small groups. I will constantly monitor to check the the students understand the concepts we are trying to learn for the lesson.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Towards the end of the lesson I will set some simple exercises to allow the students to produce their own sentences with each other and with the group.
