Description

In this lesson the learners will look at Grammar based on the topic of 'adventure & travel. We will start with a lead in prediction task, allowing the learners to elicit the topic. They will then discuss a topical question in break-out rooms before sharing their answers to the whole class. Learners will then carry out an exposure task identifying the TL. We will then cover meaning, form and pronunciation of the language in detail. Learners will then carry out a controlled task, where they will put the Grammar into practice. We will then go into a Free practice task, where the learners will be able to talk about the topic with each other. We will finish the lesson with OCFB and DEC.
