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

Students will listen to a phone call and find true/false sentences. Then they will compare the two listeners in the audio. "Which was a good listener and why?". They will also underline the phrases that show the interest of the listener.

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

They will listen to the audio and repeat the sentences with the correct intonation. By this, I will clarify the correct intonation and make them repeat.

Controlled Practice (7-9 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Students will complete the phrases filling gaps and then spell the phrases. Students will also identify the negative, positive and neutral phrases. They should also use their mimics.

Students will listen to the audio and respond with the correct phrase.

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