Teaching Practice 1
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, students will be introduced further to the verb "to be." The lesson will start with looking at a photograph to determine what the respective people are doing. Students will also get listening and speaking practice. They will be able to review what they have learned in the lesson before, e. g. jobs vocabulary and numbers. At the last activity I will elicit yes and no questions. Students will check the 'Guest List' and they will review jobs vocabulary and numbers. I will help and monitor where necessary and take feedback to check some of the answers.

Materials

Abc Listening to a dialogue

Main Aims

  • To introduce and give practice in the verb "to be", positive, questions and negatives.

Subsidiary Aims

  • Listening, speaking, review jobs vocabulary, review numbers.

Procedure

Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • Students are making up their own sentences.

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?

Listening (8-10 minutes) • Improving listening skills

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.

Grammar (8-10 minutes) • Improve understanding about grammar rules

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.

Grammar Exercises (9-11 minutes) • Improve grammar, speaking

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.

Get ready … get it right! Activity (8-10 minutes) • Review, fluency build-up, pronunciation

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.
