Meaning Teacher procedes to the next part of the class, teacher asks students if they remember the audio, and asks CCQs while showing a board with examples of the target language. - During the audios, How did speakers introduce themselves, with 'I am'? No/No with 'This is' - What expression is the expression to ask for someone? 'Can I speak to...?' - And if I receive the call? 'Who's calling?' - What can I do if the person I'm looking for is not there? ask to leave a message/'Can I leave a message' - How can I finish the call in a formal way when I receive it? 'Thanks for calling' Form Teacher procedes to check form. In this case since they are fixed expressions teacher shares screen to a list of expressions and variations and highlights the modal auxiliaries in case it's necessary Pronunciation Teacher shares screen to a board where students can see examples of the useful language and the IPA pronunciation and stress of the syllables.
