Procedure (29-47 minutes)
I'm going to show my own daily routine on the board with clocks explained by some collocation for each step I do daily .I'm using a word document displayed by the projector.
Individually ,students are going to read the text "The cross-boarder commuter " ,then in pair work they have to answer the questions in the handouts ( What is the company Laura works for , How many days does Laura work in Barcelona a week , What does the word commuter mean ) . After that a WC FB is done in addition to the discussion of the commuter meaning .
Audio 46 is played and in pair work students will write their own notes about differences between Laura's day in London and in Barcelona . After they finish they will listen to the audio again and check their notes in a WC FB .
I will play the audio one more time and ask students to fill the table (Laura's Spanish day) in pair work . Answers are going to be scattered in the room and they should find the answers and check them with their partners, then as a WC answers will be announced .
Half of the students will have a list of the required verbs and the other half will have the complement nouns list .They will match between each other to form the correct ( verb-noun , verb preposition ) collocations by using the distributed handouts .
Students will be asked to use collocations they matched with their partners to write their own daily routine and compare it with their partners . Then they'll fill " your day " part of the table in page 22 .
Explaining the difference between ( go to work , go to bed and go to the party ) , ( have breakfast , have lunch and have a coffee have a meeting ) . WB is used to correct some collocation errors were committed by students .
