Unit 9A: All in a days work: Listening
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, students will practice listening and grammar, review the simple present and begin present continuous in the context of "the meeting." Students will warm up by talking about images of business persons that leads into learning vocabulary. Following this are two listening activities: one with simple present (gist) and the other with present continuous (detail). Next is a clarification of present continuous grammar including MFP, followed by a concept checking activitiy (gap fill) and another listening exercise to check answers. Finally, students will have controlled and semi controlled speaking practice with the TL.
