Main Aims

  • To practice and contrast structures used to talk about intentions and wishes.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide accuracy speaking practice in a conversation in the context of wishes and intentions
  • To provide gist reading practice using a text about lifestyle in the context of wishes and intentions

Procedure

Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T will welcome Ss to the session, this is the first class of 3. T will ask present Ss about their plans for the weekend while the rest of the Ss connect. T will write the plans on the Jamboard screen as Ss mention them, especially those where Ss might have used the TL.

Exposure (6-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T will introduce the next stage by sharing Jamboard slide 2. T will ask students which person is a couch potato, and which is a live wire. When Ss come up with the definitions, T will share a new link in the chat with the first Google Form. "Read the sentences in the Google Form, and select your answer: Is the speaker a couch potato, or a live wire?" T will demonstrate activity while screen sharing and ask for help of a S for the first answer. "Work individually, you have 2 minutes." After time's up, T will ask Ss to discuss their answers in pairs. "Discuss your answers with your partner in the breakout rooms. You have 2 minutes." T will create and monitor BOR. When time is up, T will bring Ss back to the main session and go over the answers quickly (ask for the answer to nominated students, classify the sentences and avoid going into reasoning)

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

T will highlight 4 sentences from the previous exercise to clarify with MFP: I’m going to walk for more than half an hour today. I’m planning to buy a more comfortable sofa when I have enough money. I’d like to spend my next holiday lying on a beach doing nothing. I’d rather play a sport than watch it. For Form and Meaning, T will share new link with Ss and share new instructions. "In pairs, answer the questions in the Google Form." T will demonstrate how to answer while screen-sharing, with the help of a S. "You have 3 minutes, work with your partner." T will create BOR and monitor Ss as they answer the handout in pairs. T will bring Ss back to the main session and go over answers in jamboard. For meaning, T will show slide 4 and ask Ss to share their answer and uncover the general meaning of each sentence. For form, T will show slide 5 and ask Ss to share their answers while creating a visual aid of the sentences' structures. For pronunciation, T will share slie 6 and go over the stress, intonation and cases of linkage, intrussion and weakened sounds.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T will share new link with Ss. "Create sentences using this new language in the Google Form." T will screen-share the form and ask help from a S to create the first question. "You will be working alone for 3 minutes." After time's up, T will bring Ss back to the main session and allow for a peer-check stage. "Compare your sentences with your partners, discuss for 2 minutes." T will create BOR and monitor, looking for weak points to go over during OFB. During OFB, T will go over the questions quickly and correct any major mistakes.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T will show students Jamboard slide 8 and introduce new stage: "Use the questions in the board to talk with your partner about your plans for the future." T will demonstrate and model language with a strong S or fellow teacher. "Talk with your partner for 3 minutes." T will create BOR and monitor, paying attention to examples of correct and incorrect language use to bring up during DEC. T will bring Ss back to the main session when time's up and go over mistakes, asking Ss to correct the sentences.
