Procedure (36-46 minutes)
I will show a picture and will try to elicit certain questions from the students by asking them: Whom do you see? What are they doing?
Students will listen to a short conversation one or two times. Then I will hand out the work sheets. Students will listen to the conversation again and will fill in the gaps accordingly.
Students look at the conversations to find the verb form 'to be' with their partners. I will project a PPP on the board and ask different students to come up and underline the correct forms.
Students will work by themselves to fill in the gaps for the verb 'to be'. The learning process involves understanding about negative sentences, questions and answers. They will get their own answer key to compare answers. If students have finished early they could practice among each other. As feedback I will have the students repeat some of these sentences and tell me about differences and similarities e. g.: Are they all from Turkey? Do they all have the same job? Who does something else? I want them to be able to form yes or no questions.
I will remind the students of the conference context in the beginning and that they are in a hotel. I will elicit the yes and no questions and answer forms they have learned during this class from them. They will use the "Guest List" while pretending to be 'receptionists' and learn that some of the information that is circled is wrong. All the information that is not circled is correct. They will also learn the pronunciation of Mr. and Mrs.
