III. Language Focus (7 minutes) Activity: Analyze the structure and style of the formal email. Highlight the introduction, body, and conclusion. Point out the formal language used and explain when and why such language is necessary. Refer to Ex 3 p.85 from the workbook to provide more examples of formal language. Introduction: The introduction of the email starts with a formal salutation, "Dear Professor Johnson," and then proceeds to introduce the sender and establish the purpose of the email. "I hope this email finds you well. My name is Alex Smith, and I am a final year student in the Computer Science department. I am writing to request a meeting..." The writer uses formal and polite language, which is appropriate for a professional or academic context. The introduction is brief and to the point, clearly establishing the purpose of the email right from the start. Body: The body of the email provides more details about the request, including the topic to be discussed in the meeting and the sender's progress so far. "I have been working diligently on the preliminary stages of the project, and I believe I've made significant progress." The sender continues to use formal language, and maintains a polite and respectful tone. This part of the email is informative and concise, providing necessary details but avoiding unnecessary information that could detract from the main purpose of the email. Conclusion: The conclusion of the email includes a respectful acknowledgment of the recipient's potentially busy schedule, an offer of flexibility in scheduling the meeting, and a polite closing remark. "I understand that your schedule is likely very busy, so I am flexible and open to any time and date that would be convenient for you. I estimate that our meeting would take approximately 30 minutes. Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you soon." The email is signed off with "Best regards, Alex Smith." This is a typical formal sign-off, which helps maintain the professional tone of the email. Formal Language: Formal language is used throughout the email. Examples include phrases such as "I hope this email finds you well," "I am writing to request," "I have been working diligently," and "Thank you very much for considering my request." This type of language is necessary when writing to superiors, professors, or anyone in a formal or professional context, as it shows respect and maintains a professional tone. Remember, the use of formal language depends on the context and the relationship between the sender and the recipient. In a professional or academic context like this, formal language is the most appropriate choice.

IV. Preparation / Planning (2 minutes) Activity: Ask students to plan their own formal email for making arrangements. Give them a scenario: e.g., they need to arrange a meeting with their professor to discuss their project. They should take a few minutes to jot down key points they want to include in their email. Visual Aid: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1w8tWd4sWjxTVHQ6SPID_q7qvFttZiO3ybIPG3w3Z9k0/edit#slide=id.p Worksheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10IKL3t4I5q5aqiuWGszH-GqN3ALMGYxYqs5Ibz0qeCg/edit V. Writing Task (15 minutes) Activity: Students write their own formal emails based on the scenario provided. Remind them to use the correct structure and formal language they've learned. VI. Publishing (8 minutes) Activity: Divide students into groups of three. In breakout rooms, students share their emails and receive feedback from their peers on both content and language accuracy. Visual Aid: Use an example from the class.

VII. Feedback on Content & Language (7 minutes) Activity: Conduct open class feedback. Ask for a volunteer (or nominate a student) to share their work with the class. Highlight any errors and good language use, promoting peer correction. Follow this with Delayed Error Correction (DEC), addressing any common errors or misconceptions and offering suggestions for improvement. This revised lesson plan aligns with your provided time breakdown and materials, focusing on the skills of writing formal emails for making arrangements. The activities aim to engage the students in a meaningful context, provide practice in the target language, and offer opportunities for peer feedback and correction.
