(possible answers: The person is lost/ She is looking for an address/ She got lost in the city, etc.) -Have you ever gotten lost? -What did you do to get to the place you were looking for? -T asks Ss to participate and share personal experiences (personalization)
1. T asks Ss to read the conversations fairly quickly.. Gist questions: "What situation is happening in both conversations?" "Who is lost and who is giving instructions?" ICQ: Are we going to read in detail? No / Are we going to read very quickly? Yes 2. T conducts OCFB after Ss had read the conversation.
1. Meaning: T asks Ss to read the conversations again and locate the phrases were there are 1) Asking for directions and 2) giving directions. Instructions: "Read again and find the phrases for requesting and for giving directions" 2. Appropriacy: T asks Ss to locate an F next to formal sentences and I to informal sentences. Each student should identify at least one phrase. Instructions: "Add an F is the sentence comes from a formal situation or I if it comes from an informal situation". 3. Form: T asks students to identify the similarities in the phrases for requesting and for giving directions. (questions vs. imperative sentences) 4. Pronunciation: T drill pronunciation using attitudinal intonation.
1. Gap-fill task: T presents a similar conversation with some sentences extracted from it. Ss work in pairs and locate the phrases in the right place in the text. T conducts OCFB after pair work. 2. Role-play: T asks some Ss to participate doing the role-play with their partner.
