Mahbuba

Happy ever after; contacting people - Intermediate level

Happy ever after; contacting people
Intermediate level

Description

This lesson will focus on vocabulary which we often use when we contact people. Students will engage in testing vocabulary vocabulary tasks to arouse their interests towards the topic. Then, they will be engaged in doing pre-teaching vocabulary tasks such as matching the verb with the appropriate words. Surely, they will be provided clear definitions in case they hesitate or have no idea to motivate them before being given the opportunity to fill the gaps with the words appropriate. There will then be productive tasks: speaking and writing exercises to encourage students to draw together their learning from this lesson.
