Main Aims

Subsidiary Aims

  • To develop SS understanding of the meaning, form, and pronunciation of phrases in the context of films.
  • To develop SS listening skills for gist understanding.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T asks SS the questions: Have you seen any good movies? Was it a good movie or a bad movie? It is an open class activity.

Exposure (3-5 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

T tells SS: Now you are going to listen to this audio. I am going to send you a link. T shares the link in the chat. T asks SS: Did everyone receive the link? T tells SS: Answer the questions at the same time that you are listening to the audio. T plays audio, it lasts 2:11 minutes. While the audio is playing, T writes the correct answers on the form. T shows the answers to SS after the audio is finished, and says: here are the correct answers. Do you have any questions about this task?

Useful phrases to talk about movies. (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

T shares the screen with the Google document that has the useful language and says: Here you have some useful phrases to use when you are talking about films. Please take a screenshot of this. T says the phrase "I was on the edge of my seat" and asks SS: where is the stress in the sentences? After the SS finds the stress in the sentences, T repeats the phrase and says: now, repeat the phrase, one, two, three... T says the phrase "The plot was hard to follow" and asks SS: where is the stress in the sentences? After the SS finds the stress in the sentences, T repeats the phrase and says: now, repeat the phrase, one, two, three... T says the phrase "It was like watching the grass grow" and asks SS: where is the stress in the sentences? After the SS finds the stress in the sentences, T repeats the phrase and says: now, repeat the phrase, one, two, three...

Productive Task (12-15 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

T says to SS: I am going to give you two to three minutes to think about a movie that you have seen. Think about the plot of the movie, the cast, the characters, what you liked about the movie, and your opinion. Take notes if you like and include some of the useful phrases. For example, you can say, “I was on the edge of my seat when the character got his powers back,” or something like that. After the time established, T says: Alright, I will send you to break out rooms, so you can tell your classmates about the movie you thought about. You will be in trios, and after 5-6 minutes, I'll switch you. Remember, practice using the useful language. T switches groups 2 times, and takes SS to the main session. T asks 1-3 SS: tell me about your movie.

Feedback and Error Correction (6-8 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

T will choose 4-8 sentences and will give feedback and error correction following the next guidelines: - Non-verbal means (frown or puzzled expression or a gesture) - Finger highlighting (this is when the teacher holds up their hand and uses their fingers to represent the words in the sentence. Then hold the finger which has the error, so if it’s the third word in the sentence, hold the third finger.) - Write blanks on the board and have students fill them in correctly - Write what the students said on the board with the error highlighted in some way - Give students options to choose from (can I go or I can go?) - Ask a question (Was this in the past? Blah blah, kind of like CCQs) - Use terminology as a prompt (tense? Word order?) - Use the phonemic chart - Repeat the sentence up to the error - Draw a timeline
