You will be woking alone for 3 minutes, but please do not submit your answers when you are done." ICQ: "Where are you going to answer?

T will allow Ss to use the TL by giving new instructions: "You will work in pairs again, you will be asking each other the questions you just created. Talk with your partner for 4 minutes." T will create BOR and monitor Ss' use of the TL. If students did not use TL successfully, T will ask Ss for each others' answers in the main session (without mentioning the question so Ss are prompted to use the TL). T will conduct OCFB on the task, focusing on language. T will go over possible mistakes made during this stage while using the TL, and add a good use of the language. T will use Jamboard to present the sentences, and ask for Ss' ideas on how to correct them. T will wrap up the session and thanks Ss.
