I will start to elicit specific Turkish festivals, like Ramadan (three days after the end of Ramadan), Kurban (approx 70 days after Ramadan, they slaughter the sheep) to set the context. Ss then will match the prepared pictures on WB with the names I am handing out (the Turkish festivals will be included).

Ss listen to five short conversations to figure out which special day each conversation is about. After each conversation I will pause the listening practice to let the students answer. They will probably all answer together as they usually get very excited about this kind of practice.

After I took away all the things from the WB I will elicit two specific celebrations (Golden Wedding Anniversary (Happy Anniversary) and the arrival of a new baby (Congratulations!) - Drill naturally, maybe with back chain: Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Wedding Anniversary, Congratulations). - Ss have to be able to pronounce the words properly.

Ss will listen to very brief statements. I will pause the recording after each statement and Ss have to come up with the correct phrase to respond. After that I will drill the phrases to make sure that everybody can say them and that they will sound natural. In this order: Happy Birthday!, Congratulations!, Happy Anniversary!, Congratulations!, Happy New Year! After the drill I will write the phrases on the WB for the students to see.

Ss will listen to Tanya and her husband, Simon, talk about their friend Tom's birthday. I will get Ss to decide what they buy for Tom (without showing them the text). Quickly ask as CCQ what they buy their friends for their birthdays.

First Ss listen to the conversation without the HO, then they listen to the conversation again with the HO to complete the gaps. Afterwards check in pairs.

Get Ss to underline TL in dialogue but without telling them the TL. Asking a question like: What did they say when they were thinking about the gift? - What shall - Let's get - What about - Let's give

Ss listen to R3.16 (Conversation of Tanya and Simon) as a slower and condensed version again. They have to practice the conversation in pairs (without the former HO).

Ss have to match the correct answers from the dialogue into a table with phrases divided by: ask / make / respond. (I can't use the word asking for suggestions/making suggestions/responding to suggestions as I want to have the Ss to have these ideas). ask: What's the date today?, Why?, What shall we get him?, What about a Star Trek DVD? make: Let's get him a …, Let's buy him a …, Let's give him … respond: That's a good idea. I am not sure. No, I don't think so.
