Highlighting (10-12 minutes) • To draw students attention to the target language.

Teacher presents a listening task, teacher thinks that is just necessary to work with 2 conversations from the 4 that the audio has. Teacher sends a link from google forms and asks students to read the questions first, plays the audio for the first time and if it's necessary for the second time. Students answer the questions, so that they can finally compare their answers in BORs. Students will be then introduced to another listening task, teacher sends a link of another google forms, this time students have to complete the blanks with the correct words, they have to fill out 6 sentences.
