Was I clear? DId I use key words?

Elicit Target Language (8-10 minutes) • SS will become familair with using prepositions when giving directions

T will show images from the internet on PP. T will Elicit from the ss, the 9 prepositions we use when giving directions. T will do so by using images on the pp as a guide. After T elicits the correct word from the ss, T then places a visual aid to reinforce the image; therefore, ss can look at the word and connect its meaning with the image. CCQ's- DO we need to use specific words when giving directions? Do these words help people find a specific place? Are these words helpful? Do we need to use names of places when giving directions? T drills each preposition and adds words such as right and left which are essential when giving directions. SS can refer back to board to write words.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • ss will listen and use the correct prepositions when giving directions.

T will demonstrate functional language form of prepositions when giving directions. T will give instructions for activity. SS will work alone. SS will need to focus on the map and identify A34 exit on Apple Cross. Then SS will listen to an audio. Andy is giving directions to his cottage. SS will mark the route to Andy's cottage using only their fingers or a pen. Then ss will work in pairs and try to fill in the gaps. T will play recording again and ss will check. ICQ's Are you working alone? Are you filling in the gaps the first time you hear the audio? After the audio is played: Are you working in pairs? Are you filling in the gaps?

( the route is the same as the prior activity) T will demonstrate first sentence with ss using the prepositions from the box. SS will work in groups to complete the rest of the text using the information in the pictures. Feedback given by playing the audio to check answers.
