TP4 Grammar
Upper-intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, students review and practice some grammatical structures about "Future tenses" based on a listening text about jobs in the future. The lesson starts with a discussion about predictions related to the future of jobs. This is followed by a listening activity in which students hear about some predictions and get exposed to some forms of future. And we will have a gist task for highlighting the target language and then clarify the the meaning of the language highlighted & of course form, pronunciation and appropriacy will also be elicited afterwards. After that, the students will do some controlled and freer practice. As a follow-up productive skill activity, we will focus on improving the students' speaking skill by relating to the discussed topic followed by some feedback & delayed correction afterwards.

Main Aims

  • To provide review and practice of Future forms (will/be going to), present simple and present continuous in the context of plans and predictions for investment in your future

Subsidiary Aims

  • To practice speaking in the context of plans and predictions about the future.

Procedure

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

At first, I will show some pictures related to future changes and ask some questions about them to set the context of the lesson and engage everyone as a lead-in by doing this very quickly. The Qs: What do you see in the pictures? Are they showing life in the past, present or future? How do you think the world of work will change in the next 10-20 years? Do you think it's important to plan for the future?

Exposure (6-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Then, I will ask the students to look at an introduction to a podcast discussion about jobs of the future and discuss a few questions which will also be discussed in the listening in breakout rooms (2 minutes) and then give a brief whole-class feedback. I will then ask them to give the class a short report of what their groupmates thought. Do you agree with what the introduction says? Can you guess what the future jobs in the pictures might involve? After that I will play the listening track 3.1 and ask them to take notes and check them with their ideas and guesses and say if they would be interested in doing any of them.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

In this stage, I will ask the students to listen to a short track related to the same podcast and complete the extracts with the correct future form of the verbs in brackets. 1. ....I always wanted to be a train driver. After hearing that, I think I ......(be) an auto transport analyst. 2. ....younger generations ...........(be)much more proficient. 3. I .........(take) a course in app design... 4. It... ...(start) next week.... 5. I .......(certainly work)in design.... 6. Nostalgists ........(be) interior ..... 7. ......

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

I will cover MFPA and share a link to google forms .....

Controlled Practice (5-6 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Use ex.5a to provide controlled practice of the language. individually + pair + ocfb

Free Practice (6-8 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Adapt ex. 6 or design a communicative task to use the language > breakout rooms

DEC (Delayed Error Correction) (2-3 minutes) • to give them feedback on their common errors

I will put some of the students' common and important errors which I have taken notes of while monitoring the breakout room activities on the board and try to get some help from the student themselves to correct them and then ask them to drill the ones related to pronunciation errors chorally and individually .
