Beginner level

Description

In this lesson, Ss will learn to talk about the current time period in the context of holiday. It is going to be a little related to the previous day's TPs which were also about holidays but in the past. There will be pictures of Liz on holiday. T will model the target language through these pictures. Then, there will be a H/O of two model sentences for Ss to answer meaning questions and figure out the form, which is followed by drilling the pronunciation. Then there will be the controlled practice with miming which will be executed by the Ss through action cards having been prepared before.In the end, Ss will be given an empty story board to draw themselves on holiday. Lesson will finish with delayed error correction and feedback.

Exposure (5-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

* T shows pictures of a woman, Liz on summer holiday. T: "Where is she? On the beach? In a skiing resort? In the mountain?" "Is she on holiday?" * T sticks the pictures on the WB modelling the target language. "Here Liz is swimming." "Now she is sunbathing." "And she's dancing with her friends." "She's reading a book." * T writes the sentences under pictures. * T writes negative sentences under the pictures. "She isn't sitting." "She isn't swimming here." "She isn't playing beach volleyball." "She isn't listening to music."

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

* T asks, "What is similar in these sentences?" * Ss talk about it in pairs for 2 mins. * WCFB

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

* T chests a H/O having two model sentences from the board, one positive and one negative. * T explains: "There two sentences here, and 4 questions. Look at the sentences, and answer the questions. Work alone. You have 4 minutes." * T gives the H/O to Ss. ICQ: "How many questions are there? - Four. "Which sentences will you look at? On the board or on the paper? - On the paper." * Ss check their answers in pairs. * T writes the model sentences on the board. * T elicits the form of the sentences. * T drills the pronunciation of model sentences.

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

* T shows coloured cut-ups with different actions. * T will show an example first. T will ask a st to choose one card, and mime it. T will make guesses: "You are swimming.", "You aren't playing tennis." * Ss will choose one of them and try to explain the action by miming. Ss will try to guess what their partner is doing. * Ss will have the exercise in about 5 mins.

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

* T shows a H/O of empty storyline. "This is a three picture story. You are on a holiday now. What are you doing?
