In this lesson, learners will have learned functional language for personal information through guided and freer practice base on a listening text which will help to contextualize specific chunks about various life events. The lesson starts with a lead-in where learners activate their top-down knowledge as they look at a pictures with corresponding phrases regarding life events in order to match the phrase with the picture. The TL will then be presented through M(A)FP for chunks, which is accompanied by a guided task for meaning clarification. Following the language presentation, the language content will then be presented through audio text. Learners will then have the opportunity to practice the language for fluency through a freer task of speaking. Lastly, there will be a final OCFB and error corrections
