Description
Materials
Main Aims
-
To introduce, provide and practice three future forms (tenses)- present continuous for the future, will future and going to future in the context of summer holidays
Subsidiary Aims
-
To practice target language (future forms) in the context of holidays by playing a game and doing a freer practice (speaking of a day plans in a context of holidays)
Procedure (31-43 minutes)
-T announces she's going on holiday and invites students to go with her- T puts a nice photo on the BW (palm beach) -T elicits from the students what they want to do on holiday (asking: 'What shall we do on our holiday?')- Ss think in groups before they give the information to the T -T also asks Ss what they need to do to get there (elicit the plan, no definite plans and arrangements once the plans are under go)- GW again
-T writes on the board the advice Ss give her about the holiday -Ss are shown additional vocabulary which they need to match to the pictures on the wall (vocabulary taken from reading and speaking activity in Straightforward Intermediate, p 56, 57, 127,129, 134) -T highlight the pronunciation of 'wander' and 'beach' and 'hire' -Ss are given the vocabulary (a handout) -drilling -Ss are given a little part of the previous lesson's reading text (Straightforward Intermediate, p 56) where they need to decide whether each statement (verb form-future tenses) describes an intention, suggests that no definite plans have been made yet, or suggests that a firm arrangement has already been made- GW -T then asks S what those things are (whether plans, not definite plans or arrangements) -Ss decide in groups -Using CCQs for the statements given, T focuses on the meaning and by having Ss underlining the form on the form as well
-Ss are given a grammar (future forms) an exercise (Straightforward Intermediate, p 57) where they need to cross out the wrong option- PW- they read to each other -peer-check- GW - the answers are on the back of the worksheet -Ss check in pairs -T asks why there's "we'll decide" and not "we're going to decide"- T checks with WC
-Everyone is going somewhere- Ss choose and envelope - each represents a different place - Ss are given pictures (nouns) and word (verbs) and they turn them over (face-down) -Ss roll the dye and if numbers 1-2-3, then they turn over the verbs and if numbers 4-5-6, they turn over the nouns and use future forms (their choice) and explain what they are going to do, will do, or are doing shortly in the future. -Ss take turns -T monitors -T writes the wrong language on the WB -Ss need to correct -Feedback-WC
-Ss work in groups and pretend they're in a hotel somewhere (on holidays) and are sharing a breakfast table with each other -Ss need to find out what each other's plans are for that day -T monitors and writes the wrong sentences produced during the practice on the WB -Ss correct
