Exposure (10-12 minutes) • To expose learners to TL

T shows some images from A to D and asks Ss: -What are they advertising? -T plays an audio about two friends discussing what to do and asks Ss: -What do they decide to do in the end? -T asks Ss to complete a task in which they have some phrases from the audio and Ss have to clasify them with the correct heading. Ss will have 5 minutes and once they finish T gives OCF.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language
