TP4 Speaking
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson students will practise speaking skills with the topic of asking each other about what activities they do. Students will use 6 activities to practise. Teacher will conduct MFP and use slides for CQs to check meaning, form and pronunciation. In controlled and freer practice they will have the opportunity to practise with the familiar questions and then some new activities where they have to create their own questions.

Materials

Main Aims

  • To provide Ss with the vocabulary and sentences structure to their speaking for fluency in the context of regular activities

Subsidiary Aims

  • Ss will have also practised listening as the T uses their own examples to introduce the task.

Procedure

Setting context and topic preparation (Lead-in) (6-7 minutes) • To engage students, give examples and introduce the teacher and then make the topic personal for them

- T shows the Ss 3 different pictures on slide 2 – the pictures are of me doing 3 hobbies, things that I like - Taking pictures - Eating sushi - Going running - Script: Here are some things that I like to do. I like taking photos, particularly when I travel to new places. I also like to eat sushi – at the moment not in a restaurant! In the UK I go running, in Merida it’s too hot for me! - T introduces the activity and then puts Ss in b/o rooms to discuss what they like to do - Instructions: It’s your turn. I will open the breakout rooms for 3 minutes. Discuss with your partner what you like to do. - T asks for feedback in the main zoom room using the questions ‘What do you like to do?’

Preparation task (6-7 minutes) • To give an initial familiarity and introduce the key vocabulary

- T shows Ss the 6 pictures on slide 3 - Ss have 1 minute to look at the pictures and think about what activities they can see - Instructions: Here are 6 normal activities, you have 1 minute to think about what activities you can see here on the screen. - 1 by 1 T checks Ss ideas using the chat - Instructions: Picture number 1, using the chat, what activity do you think this is? - T shows Ss the correct answers on the PowerPoint slide and checks understanding

Language and Clarification: Meaning (6-6 minutes) • To clarify meaning

- T shows Ss slide 4 and asks What are these sentences? - Ss have 1 minute to look at the options and write their answers in the chat. - T shows Ss slide 4 and asks Are these questions asking about a past, present or future habit? - Using slides 6,7 and 8, T elicits answers from Ss: What is the positive answer of Do you go swimming? What is the negative answer of Do you go swimming?

Language and Clarification: Form and Pron (6-6 minutes) • To clarify form and pronunciation

- T focuses on meaning: in English we need an auxiliary verb when we ask questions, not like in Spanish! The auxiliary verb is do. To ask a yes/no question, we say do you + the activity using the base form of the verb. - T shows linking between do and you: We don’t say do you, we say duyoo - In slide 10, T asks Ss what is the correct pronunciation – they give answers in chat - T works through the other examples on slide 10, each time asking where is the stress in the sentences. T marks the stress each time.

Speaking 1 (7-8 minutes) • Ss practise new vocabulary

- T shows Ss slide 9. Ss will practise the new questions together for a few minutes in b/o rooms. - Instructions: I will put you in breakout rooms. With your partner, ask the questions and write down if they say ‘yes, I do’ or ‘no, I don’t’. - T conducts example with Ss before opening b/o rooms. - T brings Ss back to the main room and asks some questions such as ‘A, does B go swimming?’ - If time, Ss can do the same activity with a different partner. - If there is a group of 3, Ss must be clear by saying the name of the person they ask.

Feedback 1 (2-3 minutes) • To provide students with feedback and to revise language used

- T conducts DEC to summarise ideas and follow up on the productive stage. - Note on the screen, one or two sentences for Ss to correct themselves.

Speaking 2 (6-7 minutes) • Ss practise the question form with different vocab

- T shows Ss new activities on slide 10. Ss will work together in pairs to decide on a new activity and practise asking the yes/no questions together. - Instructions: Here are some new activities. Work with your partner. Ask some questions with new activities and answer with ‘yes, I do’ or ‘no, I don’t. - T conducts an example with Ss before opening b/o rooms.

Feedback 2 (4-5 minutes) • To provide students with feedback and to revise language used

- T conducts DEC to summarise ideas and follow up on the productive stage. - Note on the screen, one or two sentences for Ss to correct themselves.
