Main Aims

  • For the students to practice fluency and accuracy in speaking using 'will for probability' in the context of pandemic diseases.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide practice and review of 'will for probabilities' in the context of pandemic diseases.

Procedure

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

-T displays (slide1) asking the students about some problems which the world is facing. -T elicits as many answers as possible from the students. Ss -T reveals some of the problems that the world is going through. On top of them is the ongoing pandemic. -T asks the Ss to take a screenshot before displaying the second slide.

Exposure (4-5 minutes) • For the students to practice speaking for fluency in the context of world problems(diseases).

-T displays (slide2) showing a task for the Ss. -T asks the students to pick one problem and speak about it in pairs. -T tells the Ss to briefly discuss it and not very deeply. In case the students have a little difficulty, T displays the 3 prepared questions to prompt the Ss. -T sends the Ss to breakout rooms. -T monitors Ss as they discuss with no interference. -Ss tell T about what they discuss briefly.

Pre-teach Vocabulary (7-10 minutes) • For the students to learn new lexis in the context of pandemic diseases.

- T displays (slide3) showing a picture to use it for elicitation. -T tries to explain what is going on in the picture in case the Ss needed a push. T could also display the definition for the next step for a further push. T could display a sentence with a gap of the required word for a further push. -T displays the word, ask for the stress, pronounces it, and drills it for a couple of times( more if needed) as the Ss repeat. - T does the same for the rest of the words(slides 4/5/6/7/8) - T goes over the words for one more time to confirm very quickly (could be skipped if needed).

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

-T displays (slide9) showing a picture of a scientist holding a cure. -T tries to elicit the sentence instead of giving it to the Ss (Scientist will probably find a cure for covid-19). -T listens to Ss while they try to give the sentence. -T highlights the form for further clarification. -T asks some CCQs to make sure that the Ss are on board. -T displays (slide10) showing a diagram containing some adverbs of probability. -T reveals them one by one from the least likely to the most likely with eliciting. -T displays 3 sentences containing an adverb of probability. Ss try to figure out which one is grammatically correct. T confirms the answer. (In case there is extra time, T could go over this slide) -T displays (slide 11) for students to briefly practice before the freer practice activity. -T asks the Ss to take a screenshot of the activity. -T asks the Ss to pick 2 or 3 points to answer. T tells the Ss that they will have to interview their partners for this task. T sends Ss into breakout rooms to discuss. -T monitors subtly as Ss discuss. -T listens to them when they get back from breakout rooms. Then ask Ss to finish it as HW.

Productive Task(s) (8-10 minutes) • For the students to practice speaking for fluency and accuracy in using 'will' in the context of pandemic disease

-T displays (slide12) containing the freer practice task. -T asks the students to take a screenshot to use it in case they needed some help discussing the points. -T asks the Ss to discuss the prompt questions, and more if possible in pairs/groups. -T sends the Ss to breakout rooms and monitors subtly. T takes notes to use for the feedback.

Feedback and Error Correction (4-5 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

-T displays the notes which were taken during monitoring. (If not, then starts text step) -T listens to Ss as they express what they discussed. -T uses finger correction if needed.

Flexi stage (3-5 minutes) • To provide an extra chance to practice fluency in speaking in using will for the context of pandemic diseases.

-T displays (slide 14) containing a question for the Ss to discuss. -T asks the Ss to discuss it together. T could give some questions to prompt the Ss. -T listens to the opinions of students.
