Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, the Ss are going to remember the places they have in their environment, neighborhood, city. The lesson begins with a revision of related vocabulary. This is followed by the listening part, about different people from different cities, talking of their surroundings.

Materials

Main Aims

  • To prove gist, specific information and detailed listening practice using a text about conversation in the context of places in a town.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide clarification, review and practice of buildings and nature in the context of places in a town.

Procedure

Lead-in/Presentation/Focus on Meaning (5-10 minutes) • To draw Ss' attention to the forms, then clarify the meaning, form and pronounciation of the target language.

T explains that Ss need to know some words for the listening they will do in a few minutes. T checks understanding of the words by either showing photos or drawing pictures: a square, a park, a market, a bus station, a station, a lake, a beach, the sea, a river, a museum, an airport, mountains, a road, a cafe, a bar, shop, a flat, a house, a hotel, a bed and breakfast.

Exposure (5-8 minutes) • To consolidate the TL from ex1 on the WB

T delivers handouts that has a picture of a city. Several places are numbered in the picture and the Ss are asked if they can remember what those numbered places are called. After the T demonstrates, learners will start working on. Ss will then check their answers in pairs.

Exposure (5-10 minutes) • To consolidate the TL from activity 1 of the SB.

T shows 3 different photos of places and asks which one is a city, village or a small town. After the answers, the T asks Ss what can they see from the vocabulary we have just covered.

Gist Listening (10-15 minutes) • To prepare learners for more meaningful practice

The T plays the relevant recording. The Ss recall the first stage and then listen to the dialogue to find out if their predictions were correct. Students give FB after matching conversations. Check in pairs and then provide open class FB.

Listening for details (5-10 minutes) • To draw Ss' attention to the forms, then clarify the meaning, form and pronounciation of the target language.

The T plays the recording. There are 3 sentences for each place and the Ss are asked to find which places these sentences are said for. After the pair-check, the record plays again and the Ss see if they were correct.

Communicative Activity (5-10 minutes) • To provide the Ss with semi-controlled and free practice of the target language.

The T introduces the task with an example. The T monitors and notes down any errors in the target vocab/structure. The T elicits and gives feedback. In case the T runs out of time, this activity may be omitted.
