15 minutes The teacher goes through the students’ homework, including vocabulary exercises and a short essay assigned in the previous lesson. While reviewing, the teacher corrects common and individual errors, explains the correct forms, and provides constructive feedback. The teacher ensures that students understand their mistakes by briefly discussing corrections and eliciting alternative correct versions when appropriate.

10 minutes The teacher introduces the lesson topic “A successful family business” by asking students pre-reading discussion questions from page 99 of the book “Q-Skills for Success 2”. Students also analyze a picture related to the topic and share their thoughts, helping to build context, predict content, and engage in meaningful interaction before the reading.

The teacher presents key vocabulary items from the lesson through definitions, and students analyze these meanings with teacher support. The teacher explains the meaning, pronunciation, and usage of each word where needed. Learners then write their own example sentences using the new vocabulary, which helps personalize and activate the lexis. The teacher monitors their writing and provides correction and feedback on any errors in usage or form. This is followed by controlled practice, where learners complete vocabulary exercises from the coursebook to consolidate the new words in a more structured context.

The teacher explains the concept of skimming (reading quickly to get the general idea), using guidance from the coursebook. Learners then apply this subskill while reading a text related to the lesson theme. After reading, they complete gist-based questions, including multiple-choice tasks to demonstrate their understanding of the main idea.

15-17 minutes Students first complete a pre-reading vocabulary task to help them infer the meanings of key words from the text. Students then take turns reading one paragraph each aloud from the new text. After reading their paragraph, each learner identifies and shares the main idea, encouraging reflection and text analysis. The class then completes true/false or gap-fill comprehension questions. The teacher checks and corrects students’ answers, giving feedback where necessary.

15 minutes Based on the topic and vocabulary covered in the lesson, students take turns spinning a wheel to receive a question related to business. Each student responds individually, using target vocabulary where possible and sharing their personal opinions. The teacher encourages peer interaction by prompting other students to respond, agree, or add to their classmates’ ideas, helping to create a more dynamic and student-centered discussion.
