Role play

Description

The goal if for students to use all the lexis and grammar they have learnt thus far to create a tourist profile from a role play, and then to practice the same questions to create profiles in a later exercise.

Materials

Abc Tourist handout with gap fill space

Main Aims

  • To provide accuracy speaking practice in gathering basic demographic information about themselves and others. in the context of tourism

Subsidiary Aims

  • To allow students to recycle vocabulary on the family and to informally pick up on the expression " I don't know" which will help them to communicate effectively at any stage of their English language learning endeavors

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To recycle language in the context of family by showing students pictures of my family and telling them volunteering information like how old my brother is

Do this to the side of classroom, near the library, or somewhere out of the norm to allow students to move a little.

Exposure (3-5 minutes) • To provide the need for the revision of language through a tourist role play

Role play a married pair of tourists. Two strong students will be selected as the actors: - A man and a woman come into the room, with camera, and tourist pouch, map, and other tourist paraphernalia. They stand at whiteboard, and I come up and put a question mark next to one of their heads. The couple waits for a question, continuing to snap photos and say things like 'Bella', and continuing to look at the map and act like they are taking photos of one another until someone says something, hopefully 'tourist'. I will write that on the board with a check mark. I then put a set of question marks around them while they continue to laugh, and ooh and ahh and point at things. If nothing happens, they walk closer to the students and show the front of a passport to prompt the question 'Where are you from?'. This continues till known lexis has been exhausted. I praise students, and then we correct the 'you' form to the 'They' form on the board, if necessary. - If students cannot provide questions, I will prompt on board with 'Where- - - - ?' and other question marks indicating that other questions are required.

Highlighting (3-5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

- Put questions into correct form ( ie. 'they') with student help. - Drill pronunciation. Main stress & intonation arrows. - Drill the stresses - Erase from board

Staging of task (including demonstrating a model) (2-4 minutes) • To clarify the procedure of a somewhat complicated exercise

-Split students into A & B pairs - Show them an example of a sheet with nothing on it- walk up to them with B partner and Go right up to their desks and show them that A has nothing on it, but B has everything on it. - Go to the front of the classroom with a strong student and ask that person, ok ----, what is A's Nationality, and fill it in on my sheet. Drill through all he questions, then go to packet no. 2 and get a different pair of people. Walk round to people's desks showing them again with my partner, then my partner asks me 'ok Rudo, What is 'x'S nationality? And I answer for them. Ok? Check understanding then say 'go'

Controlled Practice (5-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Students do ex. with close monitoring to pick up examples of language needing delayed error correction - Pairs check answers on prepared sheets stuck onto board.

Delayed Error correction (4-5 minutes) • To allow SS to check their answers

Boardwork with what I heard during exercise. Praise good language by putting that up on board as well and giving it a check mark.

Receptive skills practice (3-4 minutes) • To utilize any leftover time in the lesson to the fullest extent in providing receptive skills practice

Play recordings 1.21 of the Face to Face Starter book, twice (40-60 secs). Topic: Understanding what an 'answer' is. Students seem to have figured that out by induction, but it may still be nice to have a form of definition. - 2. Play recording 1.8 of the starter book twice (about 2 mins in total). Topic: giving out your phone number

One last memory game (5-6 minutes) • To provide students with the opportunity for additional recycling of any TL from the course if there is time left over int the lesson.

Sts work as two teams. They line up facing the board, ready to run and draw a pyramid with multiple lines inside it. Something must be written on each line so that you reproduce a question from the course, like 'What is your job?' or 'Adalet is my brother' 'My name is Deniz'. As soon as you get done you run to the back of the line. 1st team to finish wins!
