Procedure (26-45 minutes)
Teacher will introduce the students to different currencies and their symbols. She will elicit the words 'money' and 'price' and drill these words with class. She will point out that currency words are omitted if the context clear.
Students will do a matching exercise about prices and their utterance. First they will do it alone, then compare answers in pairs. The teacher will check the answers with the class and she also checks if Ss understand that we often omit the currency words (pounds, euros e.g). Students will listen to the recording and they'll repeat afterwards.
Students will work in pairs and say the prices. They'll listen to the recording and practise saying them. The teacher will check that the students pronounce p /'pi:/, euros /'jʊərəʊz/, cents /sents/ correctly. The teacher will repeat the drill chorally and individually if necessary.
The teacher will tell the students that they are going to listen to five conversations which they'll listen and write the prices. T will play the recording again if necessary. Students can check with their partners. The teacher provides an answer key for the exercise.
Students do the exercise individually and then compare their answers with a partner. The teacher will check the answers with the class. They listen to the recording and practise the questions.
Students will work in pairs and match the food and drink on the price list to photos 1-10. T will check with the class. T will play the recording R3.14. Students will listen and practisethe food and drink on the price list. T will highlight the pronunciation of Italian words cappuccino and espresso and the French word croissant, as well as the other vocabulary items, if necessary.
Students will work in pairs, they will look at the photos 1-10 and they will test each other asking questions about the picture, e.g. "what's number 1?" "A cheese and a tomato sandwich".
Students will look at the menu again and they will ask each other about the price of a food or a drink in groups of three. Teacher will monitor but she won't correct the mistakes immediately, instead she might write them on the board.
