Procedure (39-51 minutes)
-To set the lesson context and engage the ss in thinking about giving advice I will show a Google slide with the text from exercise 3a page 42 of the Speak out Student Book. - give ss 1 minute to think about what Tomasz can do to improve his English - ask ss if they have any answers - if ss have no ideas I will come up with a suggestion (e.g. watch movies in English and use subtitles in your own language) and ask them again.
To provide context for TL I will ask ss to listen for global understanding first. Ss will have to fill in the problems in the table while listening. - share Google slide with a table which ss have to fill in - tell ss we are going to listen to a radio programme and that they have to fill in the problems of Andy and Olivia in the table. - share slide on chat and give each student a slide - Play the recording and pause for a second after Andy. Ask if ss have any questions so far. -play recording of Olivia. - show answer key in next slide. Ask if there are any questions about the answers. For a more intensive listening task I will ask ss to listen again and fill in the gap exercise. - tell ss, they are going to listen to the recording again but now they have to fill in the gap exercise. -send gap exercise in Google Forms on chat - ask if everybody has received the google form. - ss. will the time of the recording to fill in the gap exercise. - share answer key on google slides after the exercise and ask if ss have any questions.
To draw ss ' attention to the TL I will show them a jamboard with several phrases used for giving advice and phrases for responding to advice. The phrases will be jumbled up. -show jamboard with phrases on sticky notes - ask ss. to put the phrases in the right category: 1. giving advice and 2. responding to advice.
To clarify meaning of the TL I will: - ask show ss Google slides with all TL on it. - I will ask several CCQ's as stated in my LA sheet. - I will highlight form of the TL on Google slide as well. Point out that the asking for advice phrases are all formed with should and verb in base form except for the last one (imperative +subject). Ask CCQ's to concept check. - For pronunciation I will say some of the sentences twice, ask ss to repeat and then ask some ss individually. State that intonation for questions goes up and for answers it goes down.
- show ss Google slide with exercise 8A from Speak out Students book. - ask SS individually if they know what the problem is in each picture and ask them to fill in the blanks individually. If they have problems doing this, ask if other ss can help.
- tell ss they are going to interview each other. They have to ask what their problems with language learning are. The other ss has to give advice. Then the interviewed ss has respond to the advice. -they have 5 minutes to do this. - I will monitor in BOR's and write down good language use and mistakes. - Conduct open class feedback and DEC
