Procedure

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

Show a slide with an image of a dish of food and two questions: What do you usually have for breakfast? Why do you like this food?

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a situation

Play the 3-min audio for the students to listen carefully.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target vocabulary: creamy/ dry/ hot/ plain.

Ask questions about the descriptions included in every part of the audio recording. Elicit the words from the students and write them on the board.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Show slides with images of dishes representing the four target adjectives and explain them. Model and drill the pronunciation of each word.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Ask studens to answer a fill-in-the-gap exercise individually using the target adjectives. Instruct students to check their answers with each other. Nominate individual students to read their answers aloud. Display the answer key on the screen for final self-correction.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Pair students up to discuss a favorite dish and the reasons why they like it. Monitor the pairs during practice, taking notes on language errors and good usage for delayed feedback. Conduct a brief open feedback to discuss the ideas raised in their conversations. Provide general linguistic feedback on the board.
