Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Ss are shown a city picture and asked to guess the city. After eliciting Vancouver, T explains that Vancouver is one of the best cities in the world and asks students to think and tell about the possible reasons for this.

Pre-Reading/Listening (7-9 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

To do some pre-reading vocabulary teaching, teacher uses pictures and word cards. T puts the words HOs on the board and then starts showing pictures trying to elicit related words. When the first exposure is complete, they are asked to complete a pictured crossword puzzle which helps them to focus on form and meaning. They do PC before getting the answer key, then a WC pronunciation drill is done.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (7-9 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Ss do a gist reading exercise by matching the headings in the correct place. T demonstrates how to do the task with the first paragraph and make them match the rest individually as it is a receptive skill. When they finish they do GC, and teacher gives feed back by nominating students. She asks for justifications with key words in this stage to avoid any accidental correct answer.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (13-15 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks
