TP 6 Functional Language
Elementary level

Materials

Main Aims

  • To introduce and provide practice of functional language in the context of deciding what to do.

Subsidiary Aims

  • Speaking in pair and small group conversation.

Procedure

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

Ask students: Have any of you been to a Safari? What about the beach? Does anyone like going to the park? Are there other excursions you like to go on? Show students pictures of Longleat and Regents Park, introduce them to these locations for context.

Exposure (5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Students listen to conversation of a family deciding where they want to go. They then answer the question for gist. Script: Next we are going to listen to a conversation of a family who is trying to decide what to do that day. (shares screen) After you listen, you are going to answer this question. Is this a listening or a speaking exercise? How many questions will you answer afterwards? (plays audio) (student) where do you think that they decided to go?

Highlighting (5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Introduce students to the exponents/functions in the clip. Have them signal with a thumbs up on Zoom whenever they hear one of the phrases. Teacher will mark the phrase on Jamboard. Script: (shares screen with Jamboard) Here are the different ways that we can ask what someone would like to do, and different ways that we can answer with what we would like to do. Phrases like (read example phrases) We are going to listen to the conversation again, but this time, I would like for you to give a thumbs up on Zoom when you hear a phrase. I will mark it on the Jamboard. ICQ's: Is this a speaking exercise or a listening exercise? Are you listening carefully for phrases or generally?

Clarification (12 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Meaning - expound on 4a after Highlighting exercise Form - show form slide and read the rules/examples. -- highlight contractions "here we have a contraction. CCQ: Can anyone tell me what two words make up this contraction?" (I would) exactly so I'd rather is the same as "I would rather", but much more commonly used. Say it after me - I'd rather. I'd rather. -- "the word rather is what we use to say we want to do it more than something else." It can be a response. -- highlight apporpriacy "here we have two options that have the same meaning, I would like and I want." CCQ: (student) do either one of these sound more polite to you? I would like is more polite than I want. I want can sound demanding, I would like sounds more like a request. When are some instances that we might say "I would like" instead of "I want" (ordering food, talking with someone you don't know well, can also be used in more personal conversations). Form exercise using rather, want, and like on Jamboard with the whole class. Pronunciation - Listen to audio and have students mute and repeat as they listen Work on three phrases together IPA's Stress What do we call words that we don’t emphasize? (weak) What are some weak words in these sentences? (to)

Controlled Practice (8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Teacher shares slide 5 of Jamboard with conversation cues. Teacher demonstrates how student A will create the question and student B will create the answer, then ask the next question. If students finish their questions early, they can come up with a few of their own. Teacher divides students into pairs. Students decide who is student A and who is student B. Talk for 5 minutes. ICQ: are you working by yourself or with a partner? How long do you have to talk?

Free Practice (12 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Teacher shows slide 6 in Jamboard and explains freer practice: In groups of 3, you will plan a day out together. You will talk about where you would like to go and what you would like to do there. Everyone talk about your ideas. Try to use the language we've practiced. You can look at this slide for ideas. Talk for 8-10 minutes. ICQs: are you planning a day out or talking about your job? End with DEC and feedback.
