During this exercise the teacher monitors.

Exposure (6-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

After eliciting one or two responses the teacher requests the students to do the following activity: Alone copy and paste all of the sentences with if and when from the text in a box provided for that purpose. They have 3 minutes. After completing this task they will pair-check for 2 more and then the answer key is shown in OCFB.

When they finish pair checking the teacher shows the answer key and when the exercise is over the teacher congratulates them.

Clarification (7-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

The students are given two minutes to solve this exercise, after which they pair check the answers, if there is any doubt it will be clarified in OCFB. Using these answers on the board the teacher utilizes color highlights to allow students to visualize the form easily. Then the teacher requests the students individually to answer Activity 2 of the handout. In this one, they will observe the target language marker sentences and select the correct choice of form for them, then they will pair check and any doubt is clarified in OCFB all of which, hopefully, should not take more than 4 minutes. Pronunciation is reviewed with the phonemic alphabet, a brief study of the intonation of clauses supported by the Presentation and modeling and drills. After this, the stage is concluded and the teacher informs the students that the stage is over, .

Controlled Practice (4-6 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

For this exercise, students, alone, then pair checked in Break Out Rooms, will go on to Handout 3, which contains a gap-fill exercise where they have to choose between the zero and first conditionals. The teacher demos the first answer and students do the rest individually for 3 minutes. Then they peer check for a maximum of 2. The teacher monitors and when finished the students do OCFB for any possible doubt.

After finishing students report on their classmates' future actions in OCFB.

Delayed Error Correction / Feedback (2-5 minutes) • To provide learners with feedback on their correct and incorrect use of language

After this procedure ends the teacher praises, bids farewell, wishes good luck and thanks the students for their help in his CELTA Course.
