Main Aims

  • by the end of this lesson learners are better able to state their hypotheses

Subsidiary Aims

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • to engage Ss with the TL, and set an appropriate context for them

- T shows Ss some photos of her childhood, and Ss are asked to make a guess about the relationship between the people in the photos.

Exposure (3-4 minutes) • to provide the Ss a model of TL related to the context

- Ss are given some other photos to take a look at them. - Ss are asked to work with pairs and guess the story behind them.

Highlighting (4-5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

- some sentences were stuck to the walls and Ss are asked to go through the class and pick the sentences they think are better match to the pictures. - Ss are asked to share their ideas to each other. - Ss are given a feed back for this part

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

-Ss are shown a picture of rich person, and T asks some question about him. * what is your opinion about him? - T demonstrates a sample sentence: * he must be rich. -T asks some CCQs to clarify the meaning of must * are you totally sure that he is rich? (Y) * is he a poor man? (N) * does he have lots of money? (Y) - T demonstrates the negative form of the sentence and highlight the pronunciation. - T shows another way of stating impossibilities: * he can't be a poor person. -T asks some CCQs: * is it possible that he be poor? (N) *how much are you sure about it? 90% *is it your guess? (Y) -T demonstrates another sentence about the picture: *he can\could be a business man. - T asks some CCQs *are you totally sure about it? (N) * is any any possibility that he be a manager? (Y) * are we talking about facts? (N) -T asks Ss to change the statement into question form. -T demonstrates the question form of the sentence. -T asks Ss for other possibilities, and asks Ss to help her complete the sentence. - T asks just one CCQ: * are you totally sure about it? (N)

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • to grant students opportunity to practice the TL in a controlled way

- Ss are given some sentences and a picture on the board, they have to match the first sentences to the other. - T gives them feed back

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • to grant Ss the opportunity to use the TL in their real lifes
