Main Aims

To enable students to develop their listening skills for gist and specific information (percentages and activities) in the context of leisure activities.

Subsidiary Aims

To clarify and review key vocabulary related to the topic (survey, percent, leisure, nowadays).
To give students the opportunity to develop their speaking fluency by discussing their personal habits and how often they do certain activities.

Procedure (36-45 minutes)

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

🎧 Guess the Sound! Show 4 leisure emojis (🏊 🏃 🎤 🏀). Play 4 short sounds (≈1:00 total). Ss choose one emoji per sound. 30s pair share: “Which two do you do every week?” Quick OCFB. ICQs: “Emoji or sentences?” (emoji) “One or many?” (one)

Pre-teach Vocabulary (MFP) (4-5 minutes) • To clarify key lexis needed for the listening

Match survey, percent, leisure, nowadays to definitions (1′) → pair check → quick CCQs. Form: 4 example sentences (1 per student); elicit part of speech. Pron: choral + individual drilling with stress only: SUR-vey / per-CENT / LEI-sure / NOW-a-days.

While-Listening #1 (Gist) (5-6 minutes) • To develop listening for general understanding

Listen once for the main idea. Play T1.1 Audio (1:35). Learners answer Form #1 MCQ: What is the audio mainly about? A weekend plans / B radio report about a leisure survey / C fitness interview. Pair check → OCFB confirm B; elicit anchor words (survey, results, percent).

While-Listening #2 (Detail) (10-12 minutes) • To practise listening for specific information

Now listen for numbers and activities. Form #2: Part 1 grid—match: video games → 11%, run/gym → 28%, cinema → 46%, rent video/DVD → 40%. Part 2 short answers—walk → 93%, eat out → 64%, radio → 71%, play instrument → 8%. 30s prediction → play audio twice (1:35 ×2). Pair check (2′) → OCFB with key.

Post-listening (Fluency) (8-10 minutes) • To personalise the topic and build speaking fluency

Slide with activities (🎸🎮🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️🍽️🍿📖🚶‍♀️📻). Pairs ask/answer: “Do you [activity]?” “How often do you [activity]?” + optional follow-ups (Where? With whom?). Model: A: “Do you go to the gym?” B: “Yes.” A: “How often do you go?” B: “I usually go every day.” Teacher monitors for DEC.

OCFB + DEC (5-7 minutes) • To share ideas & raise accuracy

Class questions (choose 2–3): “Most popular in your pair?” “Something your partner never does?” “Do our results look like the survey?” Then show 3–4 anonymised learner sentences; elicit corrections (collocations: go for a run / go to the gym / listen to the radio; frequency phrases).
