Teaching Practice 5
Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson Ss will practise listening for gist and detailed information in the context of accidents. Then they will learn related verbs and functional grammar through guided activities and they will also do speaking activities through controlled and freer practice.

Materials

Main Aims

  • To provide related verbs about injury and functional language about saying how something happen in the context of accidents.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide listening for gist and detailed information.

Procedure

Pre-Listening (2-5 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Show the pictures to the Ss and they try to describe them in pairs/groups then tell them in open class.

While-Listening #1 (5-8 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information listening tasks

Play the recording and Ss match each conversation to one of the pictures. They compare their answers in pairs/groups. Check them as a class.

Functional Language (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with necessary lexis about injuries and ability to use them in this context.

Ss do the 2nd activity in pw- they need to be careful about the correct form of the verb- in 2 minutes. Play the record again, they check and I nominate them to tell answers. Talk about the meaning. Some CCQs like Do I still hold the camera? No. Is it still safe? No. Did I hurt my head? Yes. etc. Model and drill pronunciation and show stress.

Highlighting (8-10 minutes) • To highlight functional language about saying how accidents happened.

Tell Ss that we can use these structures to talk as to how accidents happen. Ss work in pairs/groups and match the three stems with the rest of the sentences. I nominate Ss and they tell the answers, others say if they agree. Elicit the structures from the Ss: on the way to+noun; of+Ving; was trying to+infinitive (V1).

Controlled Practice (6-9 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to expand on what they've learned

Ss do the ex-3b in pairs, while they are doing, I will write on WB: I was on the way to + .... I was in the middle of+....I was trying to+.... Elicit the endings from Ss. Then show an example on WB "I was on the way to the shops when I dropped my keys" They complete other sentences with a partner. I walk around them and help necessary. Get FB from Ss and write some of them on WB.

Freer Practice (5-6 minutes) • To give Ss chance to practice target language.

Ss talk about an accident using what they have learned in groups. I just monitor them and do not interfere if not necessary. After they discuss, in open class I will ask "Do you think yourselves accident-prone? Why?
