Procedure (40-48 minutes)
Play the CD (1.16) two times. Have students write letters down from memory. When they are finished check their answers by eliciting students and writing it on the board as they say them. Letters will have two colors - blue for consonants and pink for vowels. Two students will be selected to come up to the board and write their name. I will then ask them to circle the vowels.
Pass out the copies of the textbook exercises. Ask students to look at the the picture next to exercise 3. "Who is the teacher?" (Kate) "Who is the student?" (Pedro) "Please do ex.3 - match the letters with the numbers. Play the recording to check the answers. They will then be drilled on thank you and welcome.
Recording (1.18) is played. Students listen and write the names. This is played two times. Students will compare their answers. A volunteer will write the answers on the board as a means of checking. 1) Magda Janowska 2) Hasan Yousef
Play (1.19) and go over pronunciation in detail, repeating often. Now have them stand up and tell them to write the names of three students (first name and surname) using the questions they just learned. I will monitor them and correct any spelling errors they make. Once they are finished I will ask two students for the first/surnames of people and spell it if they are comfortable.
Visual aids will be used to drill vocabulary. I will hold up each item and ask them to repeat. Perhaps ask them if they have such an item in their bag. With the vocab learned they should then be able to complete exercise 6.
In pairs students will play a game where they say a number and identify the item (noun). This game will first be demonstrated by the instructor and another guest teacher to provide an example.
Explain that each vocabulary word is a noun. Colors will be used to point out how the beginning of nouns (articles) are determined.
Students will complete exercise nine with no help. Once complete or semi-complete students will then be handed the A/An Handout and told to raise the correct article to the corresponding question.
