Speaking Lesson
University Level (Second Grade) level

Description

In this lesson, students are engaged in vocabulary activities in which they work on lexical items that they will need for their upcoming productive speaking tasks. The teacher first presents the new vocabulary, and then the students do exercises on the new items through fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice questions. Following the vocabulary activities, the students start working with their partners in groups or pairs to design their speaking video tasks. Once they finish designing their videos, they share them on a Padlet (www.padlet.com). They are allowed to complete their tasks after school if the time does not suffice. After all student groups share their videos on the Padlet, each student starts sharing their feedback on the students tasks by referring to the rubric provided by the teacher. The students are allowed to share their feedback on the Padlet after the lesson too.
