places in a neighborhood
pre-intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, the students learn the names of places in a neighborhood through the TTT method. First, I will give them HO1, which is a test, and ask them to do it. After finishing this part, I will check their answers to see which words they don't know. Then, I will teach them the words by using different techniques such as miming, eliciting, and showing pictures. Then, I will ask them to do the second test and I will give them the answer key. After that, I will give them HO3 and ask them to do its first part (a controlled practice). Then I will give them the answer key. Then I will ask them to do part B of the HO3 and finally ask them to talk about the given topic (what is your favorite place in your neighborhood?)

Subsidiary Aims

  • Subsidiary Aims To provide fluency speaking practice in a role-play and speaking activity in the context of Neighborhood places.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (5-8 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will show them some pictures of places in a neighborhood and ask them "what do you need to find in a neighborhood?" and then write their answers on the board.

Test #1 (5-8 minutes) • To gauge students' prior knowledge of the target language

I will give them HO1 and ask them to do the parts. It involves three parts: ○words I know ○words I think I know but not totally sure ○words I don't know Then I will ask them to tell me what words they write in each box.

Teach (10-15 minutes) • To clarify areas of the target language where students had difficulty in the first test stage

First I will teach them the words that they didn't know and then I will try to review the words that they know. I will teach the following words to the students by using different techniques: clothing store-hair salon-news stand-library-grocery store-laundromat-stadium-post office-Wi-Fi hot spot-drugstore -gas station-coffee shop-college campus- movie theater

Test #2 (5-7 minutes) • Check students' use of the target language again and compare with the first test

First I will group them by giving names to them (bank, park). Then I will give them HO2. They should do part A & B in their groups. Then I ask them to check their answers together. Finally, I will give them the answerkey.

Controlled Practice (8-12 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

I will give HO3 to them and ask them to do part A in pairs. Then I will give them the answer key. I will ask them to do part B of the HO3, which is a role play. I will tell them to replace the places' names with the words in HO1 and act out a role play like the conversation.

Free practice (5-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

I will ask them to talk about the topic "what is your favorite place in your neighborhood?" two by two.
