Main Aims

  • to familiarize students with basic vocabulary items, e.g. starters, main course, dessert, etc., for ordering food in a restaurant; the use of modal verbs, i.e., can and would like, to make requests and/or offers; and fillers, e.g., certainly, you’re welcome, the same to you, etc., through dialogue reading, listening and pair work.

Subsidiary Aims

  • to provide students with an opportunity to improve their listening skills by using both video and audio files that they have to extract information from.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (5-8 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

- Show video of a waiter and a customer modeling typical sentences used in a restaurant. - Have students find sentences that the waiter and the customer say that represent "requests" and "offers" - Put them on the board

Expanding vocabulary and form (5-10 minutes) • Provide students with necessary vocabulary and lexis

- Have students find more alternatives for expressing what was modeled in the video - Put it on the board in two categories " offers" and "requests" - Show pictures of entree and of dessert as well as waiter. Elicit the words this way and put them on the board. - teach female/ male version of servers "waiter/ waitress" and try to elicit "tip" - "what do we give a server when he or she did a really good job?" "We give them extra money ... what do we call this?"

Appropriacy and Form (3-5 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

- Explain and highlight on the board that while some forms are less formal , others are very polite Put "would you like to order now?" with polite intonation and stress on the board. - Then have students listen to 4.12 . - DRILL after listening

Listening Task #2 (3-5 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice recognition of appropriacy

- Have the class listen to recording 4.13 and make them do exercise 9 a on page : Decide which is polite a) or b) ? Answer key : a, b, b, a , b , a

Listening Task # 3 (3-5 minutes) • To provide opportunity to practice pronounciation of polite key sentences

- Listen to the polite versions of the sentences from the previous recording - Drill those sentences.

Productive Task - Dialogue (5-10 minutes) • Have students practice and use newly learned vocabulary, pronounciation and form

- Pass out handout: Conversation between waiter and customer - Divide the class into Customers and waiters. - Handout contains an exercise where information is missing for either the waiter or the customer. Have students role play and fill in the gaps as they complete the conversation orally. - Check the answers with their partners ( as they will have the answers)

Free dialogue ( IF TIME ) (5-10 minutes) • Have students practice the language and form in a free exercise

- Give students a fictional "menu" - Whoever was server in the last exercise will now be customer - Have them create a dialogue
