Description

In this lesson, students will have a chance to enhance an important receptive skill, listening. They will also be given an opportunity to produce the target language in the context of dining out in restaurants. For this lesson, I have chosen to include a variety of activities as well as interaction patterns to keep the learning process definitely student-centered.

Materials

The teacher asks if there was any word students didn't understand in the audio. If they are reluctant to answer, he then starts presenting and checking some words that are supposed to be difficult for this level.
