Subsidiary Aims

To develop students’ ability to ask about and express wants and plans using functional expressions such as “I’d like to…”, “I want to…”, and “Would you like to…?”.
Procedure (45-55 minutes)
Students will see four pictures related to plans for the new year. The teacher will ask students about their plans and resolutions they would like to make for the new year. CCQ's: What is your resolution for the new year? What plan(s) would you like to do?
Gist task: Students will read in two minutes a conversation between two people and answer what type of plans they are talking about. ICQs: How many questions do you have to answer? → One How many minutes do you have to read and answer the question? → Two Then, we will have OCFB to check the right answer. Intensive task: Students will read the conversation a second time and will answer the questions about Mark's plans and preferences. They will have 1 extra minute to answer the questions. ICQ'S: In the first question, how many options you have to choose?→ Two In the second one, how many answers you have to choose?→ One After that, in OCFB, students will say what the answers are and what part of the text mentions the right answer.
Students will highlight the expressions in bold in one minute. Then, students will answer the following questions: CCQs: Do these questions talk about plans for the present? ------ Yes What other expressions to ask for plans do you see? ---------- Would you like...? do you want? where do you want to...? What expressions to answer do you see? -------------------- I want, I'd rather, I'd like Meaning: Students will classify the expression into two categories: Asking people what they want to do and saying what they want to do. Form: Students will see some expressions to see the mistakes, and then make use of Functional language approach to see how these expressions are made. Pronunciation: students will read the expression. Then, the teacher will read the sentences to the students for group drilling, and they will identify where the stress and connected speech are in the sentences. Appropriacy: Students will classify expressions as formal or informal.
Students will perform a Speaking exercise. In pairs, they will ask each other what things would they like to do for this New Year. Student A will make questions about plans and Student B will answer them. Then students will change their partner (or will switch places in case there are just one or two students). The expressions seen during the session will be shown as an example of how they they are going to do the activity.
Mistakes will be written on Google slides and then CCQ's will be made to let students find out what they said and how the correct form is.
