Abc Free practice

Main Aims

  • To provide the skill of speaking through fluency practice in the context of talking about things you want to do.

Subsidiary Aims

  • Students will practice the skills of reading for gist and speaking for fluency in the context of deciding what to do.
  • Students will practice the systems of pronunciation (focusing on intonation) and grammar.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (4-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Greet students and tell them that they will practice their speaking fluency in this lesson. Screen share Lead-in slide with the following questions: What do you like to do on Weekends? (spend time with family, go to church, go to the beach, etc.) Do you like to go somewhere? Who do you go with? (restaurant, with my partner, alone, etc.) What do you want to do tomorrow (Sunday)? (sleep in, house chores, etc.) Have Ss answer them in OC and write their answers about activities they like to do and places they like to visit on the second to last G-slide (we will use these answers as suggestions for their speaking activity during free practice).

Content Preparation - Gist task (6-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Tell Ss they are about to read a two short conversations and complete their first task. Screen share G-forms on the Gist reading task and read the question to the class. Tell them they have 2 mins to read the text and submit their short answers. Share G-Form via chat and check answer in OC when they are done. ICQs: How much time do you have to answer? (2 mins) Should you submit your answer right away? (Yes) Answer: The two conversations are about "deciding what to do" CCQ's: What part of the text tells you that they are "deciding what to do"? __(name of student)____ Can you give me an example from the text? (The question: What would you like to do?)

Language Preparation (7-8 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Meaning and Form task Tell Ss that now they will be working in pairs for the next task. Screen share G-form with the guided discovery task for M and F. There are 7 questions and they can look back at the text to help answer them. Assign pairs and share G-form on chat, tell them they have 4 minutes to work on the answers together and submit. (Send them to BORs if there are more than 3 students) ICQs: Are you going to work alone or in pairs? (in pairs) How much time do you have? (4 mins) Do you have to answer all the questions? (yes!) Answers: 1. Asking people what they want to do 2. Saying what you want to do 3. I want to play volleyball (in the near future) 4. Closed questions (gives you the option between YES and NO) 5. Open ended question (gives you the opportunity to say whatever you like / want) 6. Would like (What would you like to do?) 7. He wants to stay at home more than going to the mall Go through the answers together in OC focusing on the ones they got wrong. Elicit students that got the answers right to explain how they got to that conclusion. Form Show G-slide to practice the structure of the questions and answers. FCQ's: What questions are these on the left" "What would you like to do? / where do you want to go?" (Open ended questions) And the ones to the right? "Would you like to go to the mall? / Do you want to go to the mall?" (Closed yes/no questions) Are would like and want synonyms? (yes) Can we change "would like" or is it fixed? (It's fixed) What comes after "would like"? (preposition "to" and verb in infinitive) What is the structure of the answer? (Subject + would like + to + verb in infinitive + noun) Can you give me another example? (I would like to have a picnic) What about "want", what comes after? (also "to" + verb infinitive) What do we need in the case of the open questions? (a suggestion / a noun) Can you give me another example? (Would you like to "play volleyball"?) What is I'd rather short for? (I would rather) For the negative "I would rather" what do you have to say? (Something you want to do more) Can you give me another example? ( I would rather go to a museum) Pronunciation Drill chorally difference between open ended questions and closed questions. ICQs Which one has a rising intonation? Which one goes up? (Closed questions) Which one goes down? (open questions) Drill chorally. What about negative or positive answer? (positive has a rising intonation, negative has a falling intonation) Drill correct pronunciation of "Would" /wəd/ and "I'd" /aɪd/ To Ss: Now lets work on stress. Where do you hear the stress? (drill chorally) Answers: What would you like to do? Do you want to go to the mall? Not really. I’d rather stay at home

Free Practice (10-15 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Students practice using the target language as part of fluency practice. I will have students talk in pairs and/or trios about what they would like/ want to do as they "decide what to do" in different situations. Students will talk about what they want to do with their partner for 5 minutes and then they will switch partners and start again, taking turns asking the questions and answering. Give demo by asking a student to ask you questions and then asking them questions. Show the slide with the different options of possible activities and places to go to. In the same slide, there will be different events they could talk about "next weekend, next birthday" etc. so they have more scenarios to continue practicing their fluency. Send them to BORs and ask a CELTA candidate to help you pair up with the students for round 2 if there are less than 4 students. Share slides with them on chat. ICQs: How much time do you have to speak with your peer? (5 minutes) Is 1 person always asking the questions or do you switch? (switch)

Delayed Error Correction (DEC) (4-5 minutes) • To correct spoken grammatical errors, to prevent learning incorrect information

Delayed Error Correction (DEC). Listen to the conversations Ss created and make notes of any errors. Show them slide with sentences: Is the sentence correct or incorrect? Provide corrections.
