Teaching Practice 2
A2 - Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, students will learn how to listen for gist and specific information within the context of New Year celebrations. First, they will look at some pictures and answer some questions, which will set the context and introduce the vocabulary. Then, they will listen, for gist, to two audio recordings. After each one, we'll stop and they will be asked a simple question. Next, they will be handed the task of circling the correct words from the conversation while they listen again. This will be linked to adverbs of frequency during WCFB. After an interactive language focus segment, sts will practice the use of these adverbs with a new task. If there's enough time left, sts will ask each other how they celebrate New Years.
