Description

In this lesson, Sts learn vocabulary for clothes and review prepositions of place and the present continuous in the context of a famous painting by David Hockney, which has an interesting story behind it. The lesson begins with clothes vocabulary, and a pronunciation focus on two common vowel sounds: /ə/ and /ər/. Focusing on the painting then leads them to the Grammar Bank, where they look at using the present continuous for things that are happening now, around now, and for describing what is happening in a picture. The present continuous is also contrasted with the simple present for habitual or permanent actions. Sts then have a listening activity where they hear about the story behind the painting. They then review prepositions of place, and all the language of the lesson is pulled together in a final speaking activity, where Sts describe paintings to each other.

Ask students: “What are you wearing today?” What clothes do you usually wear at work or special day? Or What clothes do you wear at home and.....Brief student pair discussion. Students match words with clothing on the picture. Practice pronunciation in pairs

Exposure- setting the context. (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation.

Students look at the vocabulary on clothes (Activity 1a) and match the words with the pictures. I explain any new vocabulary and ask students what they usually wear using the structure: What clothes do you usually wear to... work / at home / on weekends? Then we listen and repeat (Activity 2a) for pronunciation practice with /ə/ and /ɑː/.

Presntation (8-10 minutes) • To have a gist to check speaking part and listening for more detail

I show the painting again and play the audio (Activity 4a). Students listen and identify the people and objects. I then play it again for students to mark the True/False sentences (Activity 4b)

Clarification (5-8 minutes) • To clarify the stress marks on important words.

I explain the difference between present simple and present continuous using the grammar activity (Activity 3b). I underline and elicit answers, then explain the grammar rule clearly. Students repeat the correct answers.

Free practice with vocabulary and speaking part. (8-10 minutes) • They describe the painting and using the prepositions of place.

In pairs, they use Activity 6 to describe the painting using present continuous and prepositions. Questions: What are they doing? Where are the objects? What do you think about the painting?
