T tells the SS about his weekend program and what did he do in the weekend? T shows some real objects like a watch, a new t-shirt and a pair of shorts. T elicits from the SS the word shopping.

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

T introduces the topic and tells the SS that they are going to learn new words and some useful phrases about shopping. T tells the SS that they are going to watch two dialogues, the first one between a customer and a salesperson in a clothing shop. The second one at the supermarket. But before watching the video, T hands the SS some questions to read. T asks ICQS. "What are you going to do first?" read the questions. T passes the questions: May I see this jacket, please? Do you have in red? May I try on? Do you have a shorter one? Do you have a smaller one? Do you have a bigger one? How much is it? May I have some natto, please? How much is it? Now watch the dialogues and answer the questions in pairs. T gives feedback by asking two or three students for answers.

Highlighting (3-5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

T directs SS's attention; T shows the SS flashcards with different items and asks the SS what do they show.
