Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (4-6 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will kick off the lesson with a brief discussion about professions that students are familiar with, encouraging their participation. I'll ask about the professions they encounter daily and those they would like to learn. To add a fun element, I will use a short video clip related to professions, prompting them to identify different occupations.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Next, I will present cards featuring the names of different professions, displaying accompanying visuals. I'll engage the students in a brief discussion about each profession, providing simple examples and visual associations to enhance comprehension.

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

While discussing each profession, I will emphasize key aspects of the vocabulary, focusing on correct pronunciation. Visual aids, such as flashcards, will be used to highlight the diversity of occupations and their roles within a community.

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

After the initial exposure, I will address any questions or uncertainties about the presented vocabulary. Encouraging students to ask questions, I will reinforce concepts using additional examples and facilitate active participation to ensure a solid understanding.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

We will transition to a semi-controlled activity where students will engage in a memory card game (matching game) with profession cards and corresponding descriptions. This interactive and enjoyable game will allow them to reinforce vocabulary while promoting memory retention.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

To conclude, I'll invite students to engage in a role-playing activity where they take on the roles of various professions. This unstructured practice will allow them to freely apply the vocabulary in a simulated real-life context.
