Procedure (41-47 minutes)
I'll ask Ss the following questions: What do you do? Are you happy with your current job? Are you looking for another job? How long have you been working as a/an...?
Gist: I'll show them three pictures and three short texts about these people and ask Ss what kind of work they think each of them would like to do and if they can think of a suitable job for them. Intensive task: I'll ask Ss to read the text, find, and underline the sentences that contain the present perfect continuous with for and since.
I'll give Ss a guide discovery form on Google Forms, and have them do the exercises (1 to 3) about meaning in pairs. OCFB CCQs: I'll model and drill the pronunciation, then I'll have Ss do the exercises (4 to 8) about form and pronunciation in pairs. OCFB CCQs: I'll elicit the pron and form more systematically, like word and sentence stress, connected speech, and contraction...
I'll ask Ss to do the task individually, then check answers with their partners.
I'll have a Find Someone Who activity.
I'll praise the Students for some good language, ask Ss to report back what they've found about their partner, comment about it, and provide a DEC at the end.
