Materials

Abc Stage 1
Abc Stage 2 - gap fill exercise

Main Aims

  • To provide students practice in speaking for fluency within the framework of a discussion. This discussion will broadly take place within the context of jobs, and will be facilitated by the functional language of agreeing/disagreeing.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide clarification and practice of functional language relating to discussion (agreement/disagreement/opinion).

Procedure

Stage 1 - lead in/set context (3-5 minutes) • To presents TL

T will ask, what have you been talking about today? What subject? T elicits 'jobs'. T presents visuals of women solders, women footballers and a house-husbands on the OH projector. T will use these images to expose students to the TL: What's your opinion of women in the army? Do you agree - do you disagree? What do you think?

Stage 2 - presentation of TL (10-14 minutes) • To familiarise students with the meaning and pronunciation of the TL

T will ask students to complete a gap fill exercise. This will enable the teacher to check the students understanding of the TL. T will provide the students 2-3 mins to complete the exercise. While students are doing this, T will write up 'functional language categories' on the WB in preparation for the next task. Once complete, students will check in pairs before T provides them with an answer key. T will then ask students to locate and place functional language stuck around the classroom in the the right place on the WB. T will review WB and error correct if necessary (to the students: does this look right? Is there anything you would like to change? Possible CCQs include: If something is my opinion, is it a fact, or just something I believe (something I believe). If I disagree with something, do I think it is right or wrong? (wrong) If I agree with something, do I think it is right or wrong?. T models the TL (focusing on negative statements and questions) students drill.

Stage 3 -Speaking for fluency in a discussion (15-20 minutes) • For students to practice using the TL in a task aimed at speaking for fluency.

T will separate students into groups of 4-5s. T will place one of the following statements on each table, face down: It's more important to make good money than to enjoy your job? Do you agree or disagree and say why. Women shouldn't be in the solders. Do you agree or disagree. Say why? You can't have a happy family and a good job at the same time. Do you agree or disagree? Say why. We are using technology too much. Do you agree or disagree. Say why. T will ask students to use this language (points to WB) to help them express themselves. T will say once you hear the rubber duck squeak, you will stop and move onto another table. T will allow each group about 3-4 mins at each table. While the activity progresses, T will monitor and collect errors for delayed feedback.

Stage 5 (4-6 minutes) • Whole class feedback, delayed error correction.

T will ask for WC feedback on the topics discussed allowing for broader sharing of opinion. T will provide delayed error correction.
