T asks about Erasmus exchange students to activate the students schemata. *are there any Erasmus students in the university? *Are they French? *Are they Italian? *Did you go somewhere with Erasmus? with these questions Ss are expected to get their attention on Erasmus and foreign students.
T makes Ss pairs with a raffle. Makes sure he paired a group with three if there is an odd number of Ss. one S gets questions and the other S gets answer of a dialogue which they are going to work on together and try to order. T says "Now, match the questions with the answers, please." T gives 3 minutes to Ss to make the dialogue. Pairs go to another desk and check that groups dialogue and come back to their desk and make any changes if they want. T then shows the real order and makes the order seen by everyone.
T gives HO to make a quick exercice to check the concept. There are 6 Y/N questions. Ss answer these questions individually according to the text. T give 2 mins. to finish this task. Peer check and if there isn't any problem T moves on. If there is some probem T shows the dialoge to clarify.
MEANING T compares the TL with the Turkish meaning in a oral way. T points out the difference between the suffixes in the L1 and the verb to be in English. While saying I'm American in English we have a speacial verb which we don't in L1. PRONUNCIATION T makes drillings with the short forms of the sentences using the finger contractions: I am American. --> I'm American. Are you Spanish? FUNCTION T uses little cards to show subject and the object to elicit the verbs. T does 2 examples to stress the function of verb to be in the questions.
T pairs the Ss with a raffle and hands out the little cards which only have subject and the noun like "she / married". Each s has 5 cards. Ss in pairs, choose one card from their peer and try to make a question. Pair answers according to the sign on the paper. T monitors and makes immediate feedback.
T hands out each S an exercice. In this activity Ss fill in the blanks with am / is / are and make a question. T monitors and Ss, after 2 mins of exercice, check their pair's answers. T makes DELAYED error correction.
T makes a raffle and pairs students. Ss work together and try get the information from their pairs by asking TL. A student has a characters info and a table of a character to fill. In the table there are two options one of which is true. They ask their pairs to find the information. And then the other s in the pair asks to find the info s/he needs to find. T uses overprojector or the WB itself to show both of the boxes to be filled. After finishing the activity T makes a concept check and indicates the answers. T does a delayed error correction.
