Main Aims

  • To practise the difference between the past simple and the past contiuous

Subsidiary Aims

  • To identify key information. To recognise the functions of three narrative sentences (semi-controlled practice)

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I ask students the following questions: Why do we do interviews? Did you do an interview before? when? What was it about? Did you do an interview before joining the ITI? what do we call the person who asks in the interview? what about the person who answers?

Pre-Reading/Listening (3-5 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Dear students you are going to listen to interviews. look at the listening activity 1 How many people can you see? Do expect they are interviewers or interviewees? For two minutes look at the activity. Can find what these interviews bout?

While-Reading/Listening #1 (5-7 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information listening tasks

Students listen to Andy's interview to get ready to complete the key information from his story.they do the same with the rest of the recording.

Post-Listening (2-3 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text.

I ask students to connect the key information from each person's story. That is done individually then in pairs

Grammar activity (5-6 minutes) • Students learn to use the past con. for the background and the the past simple for main events

students try to answer the following question; When you tell a story, which tense can you use for each of these functions; a) introduce a new topic;b) give the background;c)talk about the main events?

Grammar activity #2 (7-8 minutes) • to practise both the past cont. and the past simple

Students ask and answer questions (taken from exercise 1 page 14) In responding they produce two sentences; one in the past cont. and the second in the past simple

Grammar activity #3 (5-7 minutes) • To learn to use the past cont. for long activities the past simple for short

I attract their attention to the sentences in the margin eliciting long and short activities. I teach students that the past cont. is for long activities while the past simple is for short ones. they complete the rule individually then in pairs.

Grammar activity #4 (7-8 minutes) • Students learn to use when and while with the past con. and the the past simple

I explain that when is followed by past simple and while is followed by the past cont. Then students complete the sentences with one the suitable tense. In pairs they If any of these sentences are true for them or not. I provide a demo.
