Teaching approach: “Communicative approach” and PPP Method.
Integration of skills: Reading and writing skills will be integrated through
answering some questions about job interviews, and writing a letter of
application for a job. Listening and speaking will be integrated through
students’ interaction with the peers and teacher.
Materials and resources: Audio, copies, interview, poster with letter of
application, computer, CD player, marker, board, dice and masking tape.
Pedagogical use of ICT in the class: Students will write a letter of application for
a job on their computers.
Seating arrangement: Students will work at the tables situated in rows facing
the board. At a same table three or four students may work together.
Cooperative work: Learners will play a game in groups to promote interaction
among them. Then, they will work in pairs to exchange ideas and answer some
questions.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
3. Some students may tend to use Spanish to refer to unknown words, so I will
help them by providing them with the equivalent in English
Potential problems students may have with the language
Some students may not remember some new items; I will use different
strategies to help them, such as miming, acting and will also encourage them to
use their online dictionaries.
Assessment: Echoing will be used to check students’ listening comprehension. I
will ask some oral questions to know if learners understand the listening and if
they remember the new lexis.
