I'll start by giving a quick anecdote about my last holiday to Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca last December and the students will do likewise. I've used a google document for this exercise 'https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h9wCbBZVw4HMSE1RX4D7Oa66VvcX8G8r0Wtn1ndMr48/edit?usp=sharing' and the exercise will be carried out in breakout rooms.

I'll cover Meaning, Form, Pronunciation and Appropriacy with marker sentences. I'll explain meaning by using visual aids and contextualising the language, form by eliciting grammar and pronunciation by drilling. Google slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NHHMmaIjt8Kb4iQczPOce8NW66wFEr-SvZ8_RybPd38/edit?usp=sharing Furthermore, I'll use the following CCQs if necessary: Asking about holidays Where/ When would you like to go? CCQ: Am I asking if you’d like to go to a location, yes or no? (Yes) Am I asking if you have a time when you’d like to go, yes or no? (Yes) Asking about holidays How long are you planning to go away for? CCQ: Is this event for the past or future? (Future) Will there be a start and end date, yes or no? (Yes) Talking about what you’d like I’d rather go to … because… CCQ: Am I comparing one with another, yes or no? (Yes) Do I like one more than another, yes or no? (Yes) Telling people about your holiday We chose this holiday because… CCQ: Was there more than one holiday to choose, yes or no? (Yes) Did we make a choice, yes or no? (Yes)

I'll handle the content preparation by modelling (Think aloud!) and using visual realia, before eliciting from some of the students (fishbowl activity) their own personal answers and then get them to practice the TL in pairs. Whilst eliciting I'll further practice their pronunciation. The necessary slides will be below the MFPA slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NHHMmaIjt8Kb4iQczPOce8NW66wFEr-SvZ8_RybPd38/edit?usp=sharing

The students will do sections 1 and 2 from the New Cutting Edge. Pre-Intermediate exercise book. 15 minutes for section 1 and 5 minutes for section 2. They'll be working in pairs students A and students B, students A will be playing the role of a travel agent and be using vocabulary from Useful Language section A and students B will be planning a list minute holiday using section B from Useful Language. Later on, in different groups the students will be telling one another about the holidays they would have planned and the students will decide which one sounds the most interesting. I've chosen this exercise because the language would have been covered in the exposure and useful language sections, the adverts in the left hand column have been made appropriate for a pre-intermediate level and the simple use of instructions. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E1yfDvjnK8-UtmAmoxAsDelilrbIuiLQ1GZLL9oLl1I/edit?usp=sharing)

I'll gather the responses from the speaking production task, review the TL from the exposure and useful language sections and correct any mistakes (misunderstandings) with regards to sentence structure or comprehension on top of informing the students of any gaps of knowledge.
