Main Aims

  • To provide clarification, review and practice of gerund/ ING in the context of complaining, giving advice and suggestions.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide fluency speaking practice in a conversation in the context of solving problems and giving suggestions with the use of gerund / ING.

Procedure

warmer/lead-in (8-10 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will make the Ss read the listening exercise that they have done previously with Mitchel. They will read the text in pairs and then only one pair will read and act it out loud in front of the whole class. The text includes the grammar point of the day, but the Ss do not know this. So, right after the whole class activity I will pick at least two sentences that are linked to grammar of the day (from the very text that they have just read), and make them think about it for a bit..

Exposure of the functional language (8-10 minutes) • to provide context for the target grammar through match up and listening exercises

I will keep the focus of the Ss on the TL in Grammar ex 1a/b by pw/gw. Will take some FB and focus on meaning.

Language (8-10 minutes) • They will know which key words go with to infinitive and which don't

ex 2a might appear as repetition for some students but it will manage to strengthen their understanding. (I believe,repetition is needed.) With ex 2a, my aim is to make the Ss capable of using the target verbs of the day in the right grammatical form.

productive tasks (10-15 minutes) • to provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

I will demonstrate my own solution to my own personal problem to create an example and then, I will ask the Ss to talk about their own problems and make suggestions and give each other advice by simply using the verb+ing from 1a. I will monitor this activity and towards the end, correct their errors with whole class.
