Speaking - Things people want to do
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, students will see questions to ask about plans they want to do and expressions to answer and mention them. The lesson starts with pictures of plans related to the new year and then a gist and intensive task to highlight them. Then, we'll see MFPA to classify them and identify stress markks and connected speech and will finish with a speaking task to practice them.

Materials

Main Aims

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

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

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

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?

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

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.

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

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.

Productive Task(s) (18-20 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

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.

Feedback and Error Correction (8-10 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

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.
