Practicum 3
A2 level

Description

This is a 45-minute, student-centered grammar lesson for A2 learners focused on describing people. The lesson starts with a visual activity where students guess the topic themselves. Next, students read a short text and work in pairs to discover the grammar rules on their own. They will learn how to use three different structures: Look + Adjective to describe physical appearance or feelings. Look like + Noun to talk about physical similarities. Be like + Noun to describe personality and character. After checking the rules and practicing pronunciation, students complete a fill-in-the-blanks worksheet. Finally, they play a speaking game where they describe a celebrity using the new grammar for their classmates to guess.

Main Aims

  • By the end of the lesson, learners will be better able to use the structures "look + adjective", "look like + noun", and "be like + noun" to describe and contrast people's physical appearance, similarities, and personality traits.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To practice speaking fluency and use the new grammar rules naturally during a group discussion game where students describe their favorite celebrities.

Procedure

Lead-in (5 minutes) • To engage students, activate their vocabulary, and have them guess the topic themselves.

Project images of famous people who don't look alike. Put students in pairs to find differences in their clothes, hair, and style. Elicit a few words, then ask the class to guess the lesson topic

Exposure (5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Show students the short text about the workplace colleagues, Leo and Tariq. Give students two minutes to read, followed by a quick gist question: "Are these two men completely the same or different?" Students read quickly and share the answer.

Highlighting (5 minutes) • To make students notice the specific target grammar structures in the text.

Direct students to the three target sentences on the board/slide: A. The player looks tired. B. He looks like a football star. C. Tariq is like a passionate commentator. Put students in pairs to discuss and answer these 5 questions based on your material: Which sentence describes a physical feeling you can see? (Sentence A) Which sentence compares someone's appearance to someone else's? (Sentence B) Which sentence describes a person's behavior or personality? (Sentence C) In sentence A, is "tired" a noun or an adjective? (Adjective) In sentences B and C, are "star" and "commentator" nouns or adjectives? (Nouns) Quickly check answers as a class

Clarification MFP (10 minutes) • to clarify the Meaning, Form, and Pronunciation of the three structures.

Meaning & Form: Elicit the structural formulas directly from the students based on their answers from the highlight stage: Subject + look + adjective (The player looks tired) Subject + look like + noun (He looks like a king) Subject + verb to be + like + noun (The coach is like a father) Point out the third-person "s" for singular subjects (looks/looks like) and verb to be changes (is like/are like). Pronunciation: Model and drill the sentences chorally, highlighting sentence stress

Controlled Practice (10 minutes) • to test and practice target grammar structures through an accurate fill-in-the-blanks exercise.

Distribute the gap-fill exercise containing sentences 1 to 6 Students work individually to complete the blanks using: [looks / look / looks like / look like / is like / are like]. Then check together the answers as a group.

Free Practice (10 minutes) • To practice speaking fluency and use the new grammar rules naturally in a communicative context.

To put students in groups to talk about the appearances of famous people they like, and try to find a common person they all like and find a middle ground together.
