Main Aims

  • Consolidate Week 7 grammar focus in context through listening

Subsidiary Aims

  • Identify conditional structures in authentic or semi-authentic spoken English

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (8-10 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Procedure: On the board, write 3 partial sentences (e.g., If you skip the appointment..., You won’t catch the problem in time, If the clinic is closed...). Ask students to: Identify which are conditions and which are consequences Create 1–2 full sentences in pairs

While-Reading/Listening #1 (13-15 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Task: Students listen and answer: What are the top 3 pieces of advice? Which sounded the most serious? Quick class check. Instructor boards answers to compare.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (18-20 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Procedure: Play the clip again. Students complete Cornell-style notes: Left Column: Conditional phrases or advice Right Column: Situation it applies to Bottom: Summary of what to do in one emergency case

Post-Reading/Listening (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Procedure: Students use their notes to answer challenge questions in small groups: What would happen if the owner ignored the symptoms? What could you say if a dog swallowed a toy? Each group writes 2 new conditional advice sentences using real notes + imagination.

Feedback and Error Correction (3-5 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

Procedure: Students fill a 3-cell grid: 1 thing they learned 1 conditional sentence from the clip 1 new vocabulary item Instructor collects 3–4 sentences from students to review and highlight grammar use.
