Main Aims

  • To provide clarification and speaking practice of the lexical set in the context of 'Holiday'.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide listening practice in the context of 'Holiday'.
  • To provide speaking practice for collocations with 'Go'.

Procedure

Lead-in (3-4 minutes) • To set the context and to get the Ss interested and involved in the topic.

T sticks some A3 pictures related to holidays on the w/b. T asks the students: What do you like to do on holidays? T uses the projector to show the following sentences: I go shopping & I go to restaurants on holidays (go + -ing / go + to + a place) will be highlighted. T asks the students to work in pairs and answer the question above. T takes some FB and elicits the difference between 'go' and 'go to'.

Presenting vocabulary (8-9 minutes) • To focus on collocations with the verb 'go' in the context of 'holiday'.

T elicits the words by visuals. T focuses on the meaning by asking the following CCQs: Go swimming: Do you say go swimming or go swim? Go shopping: where do you usually go shopping? Go walking: do you prefer to go walking in the morning or in the evening? Go sightseeing: did you ever go sightseeing in another country? Go camping: did you ever go camping? Go skiing: do you usually go skiing in a hot place or cold place? Go to restaurants: who do you usually go to restaurants with? Go to art galleries: what do you see at art galleries? Go to museums: Give me an example of a big museum in Istanbul. Go to clubs or discos: do you like to go dancing in discos on the weekends? After the CCQs, T drills the new lexical items with focus on the stress.

Controlled-practice on the TL (7-8 minutes) • To provide a chance for practicing the new lexical items.

T divides w/b into two columns (go + -ing / go to+ places) T hands out pictures of the target words and asks students to stick the pictures in the right column. ICQ: T models the activity by sticking the first picture in the right place since the students are elementary level and T needs to make sure that students understand what is being asked from them. (T monitors but doesn't interfere) T plays the audio and lets the students check their answers. If there are any mistakes, T lets the students try to correct their mistakes first then reviews the collocations with 'go + -ing' & 'go to + places' T asks the students to go through the expressions and ask each other: Which things do you usually do and which things you never do on holidays? ICQ: T asks a student one question as an example to follow.

Pre-listening (4-5 minutes) • To give the Ss an idea about what they are going to listen to.

T sticks on the w/b four A3 pictures of Dubai, Rome, Rocky Mountains and Phra Nang. T asks the following and takes w/c FB: What do you know about these cities, where are they? Did you go there before? Which city would you like to go to?

Gist listening (4-5 minutes) • To introduce the audio to the Ss.

T tells the Ss that they are going to listen to four people talking about these places (referring to the pictures on the w/b) and asks them to answer the question: -Which picture is it? T pauses after every part of the record to take Ss' FB.

Detalid listening (6-8 minutes) • To provide a chance for Ss to listen in depth and answer comprehension questions.

T gives the Ss six sentences on papers to read them quickly and says that they are going to listen again and choose which place they are about. ICQ: T pretends that he is listening to the record and chooses a random city for the first sentence. T plays the record again to let the Ss check their answers and take w/c FB.

Post listening (5-6 minutes) • To personalize the TL.

T gives every pair of Ss (A & B) a picture of a famous place. Student A hides the picture and describes the activities which one can do in this city. Student B tries to guess this city. Ss swap roles. ICQ: T models the activity with a strong S in front of the class. T monitors and takes notes of Ss' mistakes and writes them on the w/b. T asks the Ss to correct the mistakes.
