Objective: Set the context for "giving news" and engage students. Activity: Pair Discussion: Students look at the phrases in the Vocabulary section (e.g., "Pass/fail your exams," "Be offered a job"). Have them discuss which are good news and bad news, sharing if any have happened to them. Instructions: Set a 2-minute discussion in pairs. Conduct brief class feedback by asking students to share examples of good or bad news they've experienced.

Objective: Introduce the target language of "giving news" in context. Activity: Listening Exercise (Ex. 3A): Play audio track 6.4 from the provided textbook. Students listen and match the conversations to the corresponding pictures (A-G). Instructions: Set the task for individual listening. After listening, check answers in pairs and conduct class feedback.

Objective: Guide students in discovering the meaning and form of the target language. Activity: Guided Discovery Questions: Ask students to discuss in pairs: "Is the news in each situation good or bad?" "Which phrases introduce the news? Are they formal or informal?" Instructions: Give students time to analyze the phrases and share answers. Guide feedback by eliciting answers from the class, focusing on the different types of news and how it is introduced.

Objective: Clarify the pronunciation, meaning, and form of the target language. Activity: Focus on Pronunciation (Ex. 4B): Play audio track 6.5 from the textbook. Have students listen to the stressed syllables and the intonation when giving good or bad news. Instructions: Drill the phrases chorally and individually, focusing on intonation (e.g., rising tone for good news, falling tone for bad news). Use concept-checking questions (CCQs) to confirm understanding of formal vs. informal phrases.

Objective: Practice the target language in a controlled manner. Activity: Complete the Sentences (Ex. 5): Students complete sentences by putting words in the correct order to form appropriate "giving news" phrases. Instructions: Set the activity as pair work. Once complete, conduct class feedback by reviewing the correct order of words and any pronunciation difficulties.

Objective: Encourage students to use the target language freely in a real-world context. Activity: Role Play (Ex. 8A): Students work in pairs. Student A has just won money in a lottery and has to tell Student B the good news. Then switch roles for bad news. Instructions: Have students role-play using the structures they learned. Monitor the class while they speak, taking note of errors. Conduct feedback after the activity, focusing on fluency and error correction, especially with intonation and structure.

Objective: Deliver Error Corrections following freer practice with mistakes made during or throughout the lesson.
