The lesson starts with showing students some pictures make them fell they want to do something to change these problems. This is followed by a listening exercise to let the students find which laws the four people are talking about.

Main Aims

  • • In this lesson, students will learn to develop their speaking skills, fluency, to express their opinions using some useful language within a listening context about "new laws".

Subsidiary Aims

  • to practice listening for gist and specific details

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will show the students a number of pictures of common issues they hear and read about daily to urge them to feel a need for passing such laws to stop these actions, then letting them read some laws and match them with the right pictures.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

Asking Ss to listen to people talking about four of the laws suggested on the website, then mention the reasons and examples they give in the record.

Useful Language (5-6 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

Ss will listen again and tick the phrases they hear in the record, then they will check their answers in pairs. Also, I will highlight the difficult ones, drill them, and ask some Ss to give examples using some of the useful language.

Productive Task(s) (18-20 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

Ss will make a list of laws using two from their own ideas and collect the rest from their friends, with the help of useful language a, then choose two suggested laws that they would like to discuss, either from the website or from the list the class made. After that they will make notes for each law using these headlights (opinion, for or against, -reasons-examples)

Feedback and Error Correction (3-4 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

checking some of the errors the students made while speaking, concerning language and content. Allowing some of the students to share some of their friends' ideas to check how they can use the useful language properly.
