Where would you like to visit the most and why?

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Students scan the text quickly. I will ask them to discuss why life might be difficult in Mongolia. I will play and drill the pronunciation of the bolded phrases from the text and have the class mimic the pronunciation.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Go over MFP of "be used to" and "get used to" I will elicit answers from students of positive and negative examples they might already know of the TL, or have just read in the text-= limiting TTT. model differences.

Something you weren’t used to at one time, but now you are.
