Main Aims

  • The main aim of this class is to provide specific vocabulary to understand the meaning and try to make sentences with those verbs.

Subsidiary Aims

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students.

I will start to put some pictures on the whiteboard (computer) about families or friends gathering together to eat on New Year's or on the holidays, and I will ask the students to think about what kind of traditional food they would like to cook or eat on a festival.

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

I will show students PPT first, discuss the meaning of the red word together. When do you use those words and practice pronunciation.

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

Show the verb cards to the students, read the cards with phonics and repeat to reinforce what they just learned.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Fill-in-vocab: Set students into pairs, hand out them a paper with pictures and sentences, communicate to each other, and write down the answer.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

To create a relatively relaxed environment for production. Students divide into pairs to discuss their previous experience with cooking and holiday food.
