Procedure (42 minutes)
As a warmer I will still building a good rapport with previous and new learners, asking them how their week was and how they feel, I truly believe that building a good rapport is essential before start teaching. As a lead-in Ss will talk about Lies, so I will provide context setting the followin question: How do you know when someone is laying?. Ss will think their answers for 1 minute and then in the main room Ss will participate to answer the question and discuss about it.
At this stage will be set to do the following activity individually for about 2 minutes and then Ss sill compare their answers in BORs for 1 more minute. Then, in the OP Ss will be nominated to complete the table. Answers: Beginning: - In the beginning - This happened when... - Before long Describing what happened - Well - So, - The next thing I knew - And then, all of a sudden Ending: - So,...´ - Finally,... - In the end - Anyway
During this stage Ss will notice the Meaning, appropiacy, form and pronunciation of the target language. M: Ss will have 2 incomplete sentences and they will have to complete with tell and say each. In this part I elicit the meaning, and letting them an example for them find out when they have to use in, instead of telling them right away the meaning and use. A: I will clarify that both have a neutral use, so it can be used for informal and formal contexts. F: For form I will present a table, which contains the meaning and useful example, so Ss will notice the form for each. P: Ss will listen an audio of me pronouncing the examples, so they will notice where the stress is.
During this stage Ss will have to develop 2 speaking activities. The first activity Ss will have 3 statements and decide, in pairs, if they are agree of disagree of each one, Ss will go into BORs and discuss for about 4 minutes and then in the OP Ss will tell me their thoughts. Afterwards, the second activiy is to tell a story using the sequency phrases studied before, Ss will have 4 minutes to develop this individually and then for 3 more minutes Ss will tell theis stories to a peer for 2 more minutes. Then in the open class 1 or 2 Ss will tell me their stories.
At this final stage I will correct some delayed error during the class, clarify some doubths and provide a summery of the learning experience by asking them: What did you learn today?
