Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (4-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

-T welcomes Ss especially newcomers and introduces himself and the rest of the class. -T informs Ss that they'll commence the session by discussing in pairs/groups what they think about a certain quote and it should be done in 2mins. -T shares screen of quote, asks ICQs, shares link with Ss on zoom chat and sends Ss to BORs. -T closes BORs and nominates Ss to share their thoughts on the questions around the quote and conducts OCFB.

Text work - Gist (6-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text and have students identify the TL.

(2mins) -T closes BORs, nominates Ss to share their answers and conducts OCFB (2mins)

Clarification (12-15 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form, pronunciation and appropriateness of the target language
