Procedure (40-51 minutes)
In this warm up activity to activate the class at the start of the session and engage the students attention in the topic of the lesson which is about modern classrooms and different teaching styles, first I'll tell them about my own idea of how my school changed in last six years as I just went to my past school to congratulate teacher's day, and I have to lead my speech to the topic. Then I have to ask some questions about topic so students can discuss the question in class and tell their opinion. Also I will use the pictures given in the book and ask for their opinion about them. Questions: 1.What are modern classrooms like? 2.What were classrooms like years ago? 3.How have teaching styles changed?
In this pre-teach part I have to teach some new words which students need to understand the audio better. I'll ask them about the meaning of these words to elicit them and then I'll write the dictation on board and I want them to repeat it after me. words: look the part, mousy-brown, have a razor-sharp wit, crouch, plump, dumpy, court, speak up, poke, dismal, slam something down, booming voice, steering wheel, sarcastic, retaking a class, calling on me, wobbly, gratitude, sneer, gangly, hate someone with a passion.
First I want them to name some school subject and I will write them down on the board then I will tell them about the audio which is about four people talking about a teacher they remember well. I want one of my students to read the questions and I'll tell them to underline the key words. I will remind them that they do not need to understand all the words they hear and they have to only look for the information asked in questions. Also I'll check them with some ICQs before I play the file .I will pause after each person's speech to let my students finish their notes and complete the answers. finally I'll put them in pairs to discuss their answers and when we finished listening to the whole audio, we will check the answers together.
In this section that we have to look for the answer of more detailed question, first I want one of my students to read the questions and again I will tell them to underline the key words. Then I will tell them that the answers are random and they are not in the same order as information are given in the audio and I will check them with some ICQs before I play the audio. I will write the name of teachers named in the audio on the board to make the understanding of the audio better. This time I won't pause the audio after each person's speech and when it's finished I will put my students in pairs and after they discuss about the answers we will check it together.
In this section we work a little on adjective intensifiers and I will elicit some new vocabulary based on what they heard in audio and I will teach them some new collocations and we will practice them for 2 to 3 minutes. After checking the answers by listening to the audio again, we have to work on the "what you think?" part. I want them to read the questions and discuss the answer in small groups using their own experiences. I will monitor them while doing this activity.
I will monitor them by listening to their speech while they are covering the "what do you think?" part and help them if it was necessary and I will write down their errors and when they finished speaking I will mention the major problems and clarify them to class. I can use the board if needed. Finally I'll ask them if they have any question about today's lesson and if not the class will be finished. :)
