Description

In this lesson students learn new vocabulary in a context of sports that will have been introduced with a reading session by a teacher earlier in the day with the grammar (passive voice) having been clarified by another teacher just before I start. The lesson starts with eliciting new words from the text with pictures or situational definitions so as to make sure all students understand the meanings and usage of the new vocabulary and can practically use these in making sentences and speaking that will be practiced in the later stages of this lesson once the differences of some of the similar words are clarified.

Materials

Main Aims

  • Exposing new vocabulary hrough visuals and to clarify meanings and usage differences of words that can be confused.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide fluency in speaking and accuracy in pronunciation

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

12.16 * Referring to the reading they have done earlier in the day, set the context of sports in general CCQs: - Are we talking only about paragliding? No - Are we talking only about football? No - What are we talking about? All sports

Exposure (12-15 minutes) • To provide a model of the task and highlight useful words and phrases

12.20 * Hand Out HO1 - project images on the board one by one and ask students what they think of each image, eliciting words and/or eliciting/ giving definitions, using the grammar that students have just learnt CCQs If someone is Agile Is this person moving with difficulty? No, S/he moves very easy Is s/he slow? No, Very fast Powerful Is s/he weak? No, Strong Is he strong? Yes Intelligent Is s/he a slow thinking person? No Can s/he think fast and right? Yes, Clever Talented Is s/he unable to do anything? No Is s/he skillful? Yes Enthusiastic Does s/he want something? Yes Does s/he want it very much? Yes Ambitious Does s/he believe she can’t do it? No, S/he believes s/he can and wants to do it Does s/he believe she must do it? Yes Determined Is s/he unsure if s/he will do it? No Has s/he decided to do it? Yes Will s/he give up? No Ruthless Is s/he determined? Yes Will s/he do anything s/he can to get it? Yes Even harm other people? Yes Some image CCQs: - Which sport is shown on this picture? Marathon - Is he disabled? Yes - Does he give up because he is disabled? No - So what do we call a person like him? He is .......... (determined) (difficulties will not make him give up - He will not be stopped by this physical difficulty)

Highlighting Task (9-10 minutes) • To highlight meanings and introduce usage

12.34 * Exercise 1 on the Hand Out 2 is a matching activity, matching all the new words with sentences that are almost definitions of each word - with this exercise, the students are being tested and taught at the same time if the task is clearly explained! ICQs: - How many words do we have? 8 - How many sentences do we have? 8 - Are we matching each word with one sentence or more? One * Exercise 2 on Hand Out 2 is making nouns from these adjectives - through this task, students will not only understand the connection of different forms of the words from the same root and different ways of making nouns from adjectives depending on their endings but they will also be clearer about the meanings of the new vocabulary by realising the state of a person that fits in a category for each of these adjectives ICQs: - Are we finding verbs? No - What are we making? Nouns - From? These adjectives

Clarification Task (7-8 minutes) • To clarify meaning and usage differences

12.43 * Hand Out 3 is a gapfill activity within two sentences and the gaps will letters A-D representing pictures placed below marked with the same letters. These pictures of cheetahs are representing different states in order as enthusiastic, ambitious, determined and ruthless. - with this activity, I am planning to clarify the differences of some words that have very similar, confusing meanings and by involving all students in pairs and clarifying with a memorable example, it will be highly unlikely for them to forget the meanings and usage of these words. ICQs: - Are we just matching all words with the pictures? No - Are we replacing the pictures with the words? Yes - How many words do we have? 8 - How many pictures do we have to replace with words? 4, so we are choosing 4 words for this sentence * Feedback after changing pairs so they check their answers with different partners - get each word from a different pair and get corrections (if necessary) from different pairs - Teacher will only correct errors of pron and not give the answers without trying enough to get the answers/ corrections from the class

Practice (9-10 minutes) • To allow students practice TL discussing a topic related to the context

12.50 * Exercise 3 on Hand Out 2 is a free speaking activity ICQs: - Are we thinking about someone locally known or well known by everyone? No, well known (Famous) - Do we have to find a sports person of a good personality? No, good or bad - Are we discussing in groups of 5? No, in pairs * WCFB
