Main Aims

Improve listening comprehension through exposure to natural, unscripted English

Subsidiary Aims

Identify and record real-life expressions and informal vocabulary

Procedure (48-60 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Procedure: Ask: What phrases do people use when they feel uncomfortable or surprised? How do you say something politely when you're confused or embarrassed? Elicit informal phrases: I had no idea It totally threw me off That was so awkward I didn’t know what to say

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Procedure: Give students a list of general situations: Getting someone’s name wrong Being late to a meeting Meeting someone who looks different than expected Ask them to predict: What might people say in that moment? Any emotional reactions? (e.g., Oh no, Are you serious?, Sorry about that) They write 3 phrases they expect to hear in a casual conversation.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Task: Students listen once without writing. Afterward, answer: Who is speaking? What happened? How did they react? Quick pair share to confirm gist.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Procedure: Listen again. Students take notes in Cornell format: Left column: expressions and phrases they hear (e.g., I froze, That was unexpected) Right column: what was happening in the story when that phrase was used Bottom: their favorite 2 phrases and what they think they mean

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

Procedure: Give students a handout or board activity with expressions from the video. In pairs: Match expressions with meaning or situation Rephrase 3 of them in simpler English Write a sentence using one of the new expressions Examples: I froze = I didn’t know what to do It caught me off guard = It surprised me

Wrap-Up (3-5 minutes) • To finalize the session and recap on what was done

Procedure: Each student writes: One phrase they liked What it means When they would use it Quick share with the group. Instructor boards a few favorites to recycle next class.
