Procedure (33-45 minutes)
- T shows SS a picture of a girl and guy from story - T elicits adjectives from SS to describe emotional states of individuals in picture. Suggested answers: sad, unhappy, happy, excited,... Have learners talk about (in pairs) 1 or 2 questions related to the topic of the lesson (text). T will ask SS "do you remember a time you were excited? or sad?" T asks SS to write 3 sentences about it. T will put SS in pair groups to discuss.
1. Use/Adapt the text and design a task that exposes learners to the TL. 2. Learners read and answer individually. 3. Learners compare answers in pairs, then OCFB - T tells SS to match the lexis with definitions - SS match the verbs with meanings Read and listen to Part 1 of a short story. Read and answer individually. Match adjectives to sentences. We will compare answers in pairs. Gist reading/ listening - Present the target language (according to the rules you want to cover in the lesson) in a short text, so the students can see the target language in context. Set a short gist task, so students get a general understanding of the context first. Let students read individually, check in pairs and conduct class feedback. see jamboard
- T asks SS CCQs to make the meanings more clear - SS answer CCQs - T drills the lexis items from SS - SS repeat - T elicits stress from SS in each lexis item Clarification of MFP - During class feedback, you should check the students’ understanding of the meaning of the target language (using Concept Checking Questions), elicit the form, as well as drill the pronunciation (chorally and individually, if necessary) to ensure the students know how to say the structures and any contractions. see jamboard
- T asks SS to read out loud the sentences to check pronunciation accuracy of target language - T plays the audio 2.51 from the coursebook so that they can check their answers
- T asks SS to match the verbs with correct endings to make them nouns - SS do the task
- T asks SS to think of three things that have increased or decreased in their country recently - T puts SS in pairs and tells them to compare their ideas and discuss - SS compare their ideas and discuss
