Beginner - Preposition and Listening Lesson
A1 - Beginner level

Description

In this lesson, the students will learn time phrases with "on,in,at". The main aim of the lesson will be vocabulary and listening. And speaking will be the sub-aim. I will divide the board into three as "on,in,at" and give the students cards on which the time phrases written. They will work in groups and decide what time phrase goes with which preposition. After the preposition game, I will make them listen to passage as a controlled practise, they will fill in the gaps and compare their answers with their pairs. And I will give the answer sheet as feedback. They will compare their answers and talk about if they do the same activities in common, it will be a speaking exercise. I will be checking the meaning of new vocabulary with the help of CCQs, for example; What is the opposite of "in the evening"? In the morning.

Main Aims

  • To provide clarification and practice of time phrases going with "in,on,at" in the context of daily life.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide specific information and detailed listening practice using a text about daily activities in the context of daily routines.

Procedure

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

I will nominate several students ask them what they do during a week. After they talk about their routine, I will talk about mine. I will use some prepositions in my speech to get the students familiar with the oncoming subject.

Exposure (3-4 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

I will ask the students some questions which include time phrases like "everyday, on Saturday evenings, at the weekend". And they will talk to their partners.

Highlighting (12-13 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will get the students into groups and give them time phrases cards such as "weekend, morning" and they will try to match the prepositions with the time phrases and stick their answers on a paper and then the board. And each group make sentences by using the given time phrases and write sentences. And I will highlight the new vocabulary on the board.

Clarification (6-7 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

I will focus on the meaning first, for example I will ask some CCQs to check the meaning of new vocabulary; for example; What is the opposite of "in the evening"? "In the morning". And then I will show the form of each phrase. Pronunciation will be the third leg of the clarification, I will use both group and individual techniques.

Controlled Practice (6-7 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

I will give the students prepositions with time phrases exercise sheet, first they will try to fill in the blanks individually and then they will check their answers in pairs. I will give an answer key to each pair as feedback.

Semi-Controlled Practice (4-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for freer practise.

The students will talk to their pairs if they do the same activity with their partner, it will be a dialogue ; Student A : I watch TV in the evening. Student B: Really ? I watch TV in the evening too. I will make a sample dialogue before they start talking to their partners.

Controlled Practice (8-9 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

In this stage, the students will listen to a passage, they will underline the correct answers according to the passage. And they will check their answers in pairs. I will give an answer sheet as feedback. They will listen to the passage once more and they will answer the questions individually according to the passage. And they will compare their answers in pairs.

Freer Practise (3-4 minutes) • To allow students to use the target language that they learnt

The students will ask the questions in the listening passage to each other. For example; What do you do in the week? I study English in the week.
