Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T sticks four pictures or shows them. T starts her sentences with a demo. "I am going to do a computer course." T changes the picture and asks " I......" Ss form sentences about future plans while they are looking at the pictures. T asks "what am I going to do after this?" Ss predicts.

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

(Yes) T writes another sentence. "I am not going to start university this year." T asks: Do I have a plan to go to university? (No) Am I going to study in university next year? (Yes, maybe) Is it positive? (No) T gives the pronunciation. She doesn't explain 'gonna' structure. T gives back chaining for both sentences. Drilling. Ss explain the form, T writes.

Controlled Practice (6-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T sets ss into group of 3 or 4. Ss are given a practice which includes a chart to fill with four sentences, 2 positives - 2 negatives. T explains that they are going to take these sentences and put them into the chart. T gives 7 minutes. T asks 'Are we going to write these sentences in the this chart?' (Yes) 'Are we going to do this alone or in group?' (In group) 'How many minutes have we got?' (7) Ss figure out where to put these sentences in their group.
