Description

In this lesson, students learn about future clauses using (If, Unless, as soon as, before, and after) through guided discovery in a text-based presentation. The lesson starts by showing SS a video of a man quitting his job and asking them what they think of the situation. Then, I will ask them to answer a question in pairs to introduce them to today's topic, i.e. changing jobs. This is followed by a brief PTV and an introduction to the context. Then I will give them the context to read and match the quotes to each speaker. Highlighting the TL in the context is followed by clarification of MPF, a controlled practice where ss complete the sentences, and finally, a freer practice stage where they interact with each other to see if they have anything in common. Finally, language and context feedback.

Procedure

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

1. I will start the lesson by showing SS a video about a person quitting his job and asking them to watch and discuss their thoughts in pairs. 2. Then, I will show a question on the PPT (If you leave your job, what job will you choose and why?) and ask them to answer in pairs, then share with the rest of the class.

Pre-teach vocabulary (5 minutes) • SS will be aware of the meaning, pronunciation, and form of 4 new words before they read the context..

I will briefly give the MPF of 3 words before exposing my students to the reading text. I will show the pictures with the meanings and ask them to match the word with the correct meaning. Answers will shown on the PPT after drilling the words. Note: If they are already aware of the words I won't spend much time on this stage.

Exposure (10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

1. I will show students 3 pictures on the PPT and introduce the characters and give them a hint of what they're about to read about, i.e. changing careers. 2. I will present the text and ask them to read and discuss the main idea in groups. Followed by an OCFB. 3. SS will be asked to match the quotes to the speakers and check their answers in pairs. Then, the answers will be provided on a slide.

Language Clarification (10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

1. I will ask SS to circle the following conjunctions (If- as soon as- before- until- after) in the context. 2. this will be followed by CCQ such as How many sentences does a conjunction link? two What tense is the verb that follows the conjunction? Present does it indicate the present or the future? Future 3. I will pick a sentence from the context and drill chorally, in groups and individually. 4. I will explain the MPF indicating the intonation as well as the sentence stress.

Controlled Practice (7 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

1. SS are asked to complete the sentences in pairs and personalize the answers. This is followed by OCFB.

Freer Practice (8 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

1. SS are asked to mingle and find out if someone has the same answer as they have. 2. Those that have common answers will sit together and each one will talk about his/her partner. 3. This is followed by Language and content feedback.
