To provide fluency and accuracy speaking practice in discussions in the context of hair description.

Procedure (12-18 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (1-2 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Students will help their favourite animation characters to find their hair that they had lost, and I will control the activity through giving the instructions and monitoring.

Exposure (1-2 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

I will have a short discussion with the students about their favourite animation characters trying to describe them and their beautiful hair.

Highlighting (1-2 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will highlight the lexis that I want to teach my students during our discussion about the animation characters.

Clarification (4-5 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, and pronunciation of the target language

I will teach my students the meanings of the lexis that I had highlighted. I will depend on eliciting rather than telling my students the meanings directly. I will use some concept checking questions to ensure the students' understanding of the meanings. I will also ask the students to repeat the words after me to teach them the right pronunciation of the words.

Controlled Practice (3-4 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

I will show my students some pictures, and ask them some questions about them. The answers to these questions include the newly learned lexis.

Free Practice (2-3 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

I will ask my students to act that they are their favourite animation characters and talk about their hair using the newly learned lexis.
