Main Aims

To provide gist and detailed listening practice using an audio about spending weekend in the context of Lost Weekend.

Subsidiary Aims

To provide clarification of weekend in the context of Lost Weekend.

Procedure (20-30 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will talk about the last trip I was supposed to take on the weekend and how my weekend schedule got messed up.

Pre-Listening (4-6 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

I will explain the new vocabulary in the listening. Arrange- Realize- Meanwhile- Claustrophobic

While-Listening #1 (4-6 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

I ask my students to open their books to page 32. I ask them to listen and answer the question in part A. I want to make sure they have understood the main point of the content. Then they check their answer in pairs and then with the whole class.

While-Listening #2 (6-8 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Now we go into more details. I want my students to listen again and answer the questions in part B. Then they share their answers in pairs, then with the whole class.

Post-Listening (4-6 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

I will ask my students if they have experienced a similar problem in their life. If yes, explain it. What lesson did they learn from it? And if not, what would they do in the face of such a problem?
