Description

In this lesson, pre-intermediate students learn and practise vocabulary related to homes and furniture and appliances in the context of moving into a new home. The lesson begins with a short discussion after watching a flat plan to introduce the topic. Students then read a short text and complete a gist task. The teacher clarifies the meaning, form, and pronunciation of the target lexis using pictures, elicitation, and CCQs. Students practise the vocabulary in a controlled activity before completing a communicative speaking task in pairs. The lesson ends with content feedback and delayed error correction, while maintaining a learner-centred approach with clear instructions and reduced teacher talking time.
