Subsidiary Aims
-
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to create a dialogue in a veterinary context in which they talk through options to reach a decision, encouraging and discouraging actions, while incorporating functional language seen in previous lessons.
Procedure (47-58 minutes)
The teacher shares an online activity with the students and asks them to complete it in pairs, encouraging collaboration as they work together to apply the language and concepts practiced during the week.
The teacher elicits students to remember the characteristics of a good dialogue.
The teacher gives the students a piece of paper and asks them to create a dialogue in which they talk through options to reach a decision, specifically encouraging and discouraging actions within a veterinary context. She emphasizes that the students must also incorporate two other language functions covered in previous classes, reinforcing their ability to integrate different communicative skills in a realistic scenario.
The teacher provides feedback on their dialogue and asks them to create a final version and submit it as a PDF.
