Main Aims

  • To provide students with controlled and freer practice in using auxiliary verbs accurately and appropriately in different contexts

Subsidiary Aims

  • To give students practice in noticing and producing auxiliaries in natural spoken interaction.
  • To raise students’ awareness of the different functions of auxiliary verbs (agreement, emphasis, substitution).

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Show 1st GSlide. Elicit from Ss what they know about the four roles that make up the perfect team... if they do not know any of the roles that will be discussed in the audio, just ask them what they think makes a good team.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

GIST TASK: "We will be listening to an audio that tells us the four roles make up the perfect team. Before we do so, I will send you a link. Please let me know if you can access it..." Send GForms link. "When you listen, take note of the four roles he lists. After you listen you answer this question." Listen to the 3 minute audio. "You will have one minute to answer this question if you have not done so already. Please submit your answer when done." ANSWER KEY: A. Contributor B. Collaborator C. Communicator D. Challenger Quickly provide answers by showing the Forms submission results. INTENSIVE TASK: "Now we are going to listen to the audio again. Before we listen, I'm going to assign you each a slide number." Send GSlides link in chat. Assign students a slide from slides 3-5. "Are you able to access your slide and write on it?" "Great. While we listen again, I want you to listen to the correct verbs that would fill in the gaps in these six sentences." ICQ: “Are you listening for all the words, or just the missing verbs?” (just the missing verbs) Play audio again. "You have 30 secs to finish up your answers." Share audio script via screen share. "Here is the audioscript. The highlighted words are the answers."

Clarification (8-12 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

MEANING: Share GDoc link in chat. "Please let me know if you're able to access that link." Now we will look at these sentences again. Each sentence uses an auxiliary verb in a different way. Your task is to match each sentence to one of the three functions: a) to substitute for a longer form, b) to emphasize an imperative, c) to add stress or emphasis. Work with your partner. Read the sentences together and decide which function each one shows. Some functions will be used more than once. You have three minutes.” ICQs: “Can a function be used more than once?” (yes) “Are you working alone or with your partner?” (with my partner) ANSWER KEY: 1. c – To add stress/emphasis 2. b – To emphasize an imperative 3. a – To substitute for a longer form 4. c – To add stress/emphasis 5. c - To add stress/emphasis 6. a - To substitute for a longer form Monitor while Ss work. Only provide assistance if needed. Once done, nominate pairs to share their answers to the class. Ask Ss to put thumbs up or thumbs down if they agree/disagree. (If not enough time, just provide answers) Questions to ask after activity and OCFB: (Do note...) Why does the speaker use “do” here? To make the idea weaker or stronger? (stronger) (I guess you have...) Why does the speaker only use “have” here? (To avoid repeating the whole phrase) (Do so...) Why doesn’t the speaker repeat the full phrase? (to avoid repetition and make it shorter) FORM "Now we're going to look at the form of auxiliaries. Next, with your same partner, on the same document scroll down to page 3 and 4 and find your group number on the top of the page." "You and your partner will have 2-3 minutes to put the aux verbs "do/does" or "so" in the correct place in the sentence." ANSWER KEY: She said she would join the discussion. She did so with some good ideas. They promised to arrive on time, and they did without any delay. He might seem lazy, but he really does. The manager asked them to check the report. They did so carefully before sending it. We expected her to ignore the rules, but she always does. After Ss finish, provide page with answers. CCQs: In “They always do,” is do giving meaning on its own, or is it supporting another verb? (Supporting another verb) Can auxiliaries stand alone when the main verb is understood? (yes) Can we use auxiliaries to add emphasis? (such as “I do stress.”) (yes) Provide answer key once Ss finish. PRON: Show slide 6 on GSlides. Read inserted photo from book that breaks down pron of auxs. Show three recorded audios and drill pron quickly.

Controlled Practice (7-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Share link to GDoc in chat. "Now we’re going to practice using auxiliary verbs in short responses. Work with your partner and complete the conversations with the correct auxiliary verb. You have 4 minutes" Monitor while Ss complete tasks. ANSWER KEY: 1.I have 2. have I 3. I was 4. I am 5. They will 6. do 7. am I 8. Do Once done, scroll down to the extra task and complete it with Ss by calling on a Ss to share their answer for each question. If there is not enough time, jusrt provide answer key right away and move on.

Free Practice (7-8 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Share and show last slide on GSlides. "Now we’re going to talk in pairs. Tell your partner something true about yourself... for example: I like spicy food. Your partner should answer using an auxiliary... for example: So do I! or Oh, I don’t. Remember that the goal is to practice using auxiliaries, like what we just practiced." "Please switch roles once your partner answers. You will be chatting for about five minutes." ICQs: Does your partner answer with long sentences or short ones using auxiliaries? (short w/aux's) Do you both take turns sharing? (yes) Monitor Ss and make note of any good or incorrect language.

Delayed Error Correction (2-4 minutes) • To correct errors made during free practice

Share the slide used to make note of good/incorrect language during freer practice. If incorrect, provide correction.
