Introduction to Vocabulary (4-6 minutes) • To check Ss knowledge of job vocabulary

Instructions: Chest HO -- "Do NOT open the paper. How many of these jobs do you know? Speak with a partner. If you don't know the word, no problem." ICQs: Can you open the paper? (No) / Are you writing or speaking? (Speaking) Ss discuss which words they know. T monitors for problematic vocab. [No FB, as this is just to check their knowledge]

Introduction and Clarification of Vocabulary (8-10 minutes) • To introduce and clarify any new job vocabulary

Ss open the paper, and match the words with the pictures FB: Check in pairs WCFB: Ss to board T clarifies problematic answers (using CCQs) and drills pronunciation [T can also highlight the use of a/an here, if necessary]

Intro to Reading (1-2 minutes) • To set the context of conferences

Reading for Gist (4-5 minutes) • To provide a general understanding of the text

Ss read the conversation and match with the pictures. They have 1 minute. ICQs: Will you fill the gaps? (No) / How much time? (1 minute) FB: Check in pairs / WCFB

Listening for Details (5-6 minutes) • To provide detailed listening practice, and set a context for the grammar

Ss will listen to the conversations and complete the blanks (T will monitor to decide whether to play audio again) FB: Check in pairs, quick elicit for WCFB

Clarification of Grammar (5-6 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Controlled Practice (5-7 minutes) • To provide controlled written practice of grammar

Ss change the sentences to negative, if they are not true. (T monitors, helps and collects common errors for FB) FB: Check in pairs / Elicit answers at random for WCFB / further clarification, as needed.

Semi-controlled spoken practice [if time] (8-10 minutes) • To provide semi-controlled speaking practice of the grammar and lexis

Regroup Ss in new pairs, give HOs A and B. Ss work together to ask each other questions about the circled information on the guest list, and correct the problematic information.
