Procedure (38-46 minutes)

Warmer\ Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • To get to know new comers names and set the lesson context and engage students

I will introduce myself. I will ask new comers to introduce themselves, or the students will make a quick around introduction. Then I will try to introduce the main idea of the lesson's topic by eliciting it using some teaching aids like pictures in addition to some questions. _ what if a conflict happen between room mates? - How can we solve the problems? - I will make the Ss focus on the dictionary entry and I will check their understanding and pronunciation of 'Compromise'. I will give an example of a situation where I have to compromise about something. then students will be involved gradually in the context.

Pre-listening \ Listening (listening for main Idea) (10-12 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a situation that will motivate students to enjoy listening for details, answer the questions and speak to each other.

At this point, I will start to prepare them for the listening task (pre-listening discussion). I will ask some questions to introduce the topic. - what type of problem may happen between room mates? (discuss in pairs). - how many learners experience to live with room mates or shared flats. what did the do to compromise in any of these area. - I will play the recording, make student listen to it and make them focus on the picture. I will ask them to write the names of the story heroes on the picture correctly. - Luis is in the kitchen, Nasser is on the sofa listening to the radio. Brad is in the armchair trying to read.

Post listening (listening for details) (8-10 minutes) • to provide students with accuracy during listening for details to answer the questions of the lesson.

learners will discuss the three questions in pairs on in small groups. then I will play the recording again, so they can check their answers. as feedback it is good to check out how learners feel about living with Luis, Nasser or Brad. (taking in mind the traditions and cultural differences)

Highlighting Vocabulary (10-10 minutes) • To clarify the new vocabulary to students and to teach them the use of these expressions.

a- with focus on expressions learners will look at the three pairs of sentences. b- I will play the recording again, so learners can listen to check their answers. and I will draw their attention to the intonations and the word group which tend to particularly pronounced during their negotiation. c- learners will categorize the expressions in pairs

Task \ Role play (5-7 minutes) • To make learners practice speaking and new expression in freer practice.

- I will distribute the role play cards to the 3 groups and walk around to help them preparing their roles. - I will monitor learners while having their conversations and take note on the use of conditionals and other negotiation language.
