6. Task 1: LANGUAGE AWARENESS
6. Procedure
The topic of the new chapter (Unit 9 /p.87) was BODY TALK and in this lesson we
looked describing student’s injuries and illness that the students suffered when they
were small children.. A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of the
Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and tips, which not
only facilitate lesson planning, but have taught me many useful strategies to improve
my teaching and help my students. During our UT’s term, we have been able to discuss
and use many of these strategies and examples first hand, and the lessons learned
from trainers´ and colleagues´ experience have made us appreciate and be aware of
why I’m including certain exercises in the lesson and what benefits they can offer.
For the Icebreaker part Teacher had to nominate a student to read some phrases in
the box. She or he has to point at the muscle that he is pointing ans at the same time
she or she has to pronounced. So all the rest of the class can see that that is the way
to pronounce this word.. The teacher has has to ask the students to do this activity in
pairs, to recognize the parts of the body. T ask the Ss to work in pairs and discuss what
rules they have to follow in the school building or in the classroom. It was very important
to elicit students to answer and try to think in English Ideas. Then Teacher listened
several ideas from the class.Teacher ask Students to say whatever they know about
social rules. After that part, Teacher elicited suggestions like : You shouldn’t run in the
corridor. You shouldn’t eat in the classroom. When the SS have said their injuries, the
teacher must focuss on suggestions foer each one.
For the final part of Icebreaker moment Teacher gave a moment to read the
instruccions carefully and Teacher made sure they understand confession(telling the
truth about something they did that was wrong). If it is nesecary several SS must give
their point on view too. So they can share pieces of adivice for the injuries they talked
about.
After this activity Teacher asked Students to opened the book (p.52 , 53 ) and
individually Students looked at the exercises. Before th e teacher revise the exercise, if
it is necessary the students must check their information in pairs in order to share their
knowledge of the topic. After that processes Teacher has to point out that if you sprain
your ankle , knee, or wrist , you injure it by turning suddenly , but your do not break
anything. He or she has to point out that injury is normally a bit more serious that hurt.
Ask the Students to read the instructions to the class; nominate a two students to read
aloud the model conversation; elicit the tense the students will need to used ( the
simple past tense) Poit out that the students can describe either an accident or injury
that happened to them personally or to a friend or to a relative . Ask the students to
answer the questions in pairs and at the same time encourage them to to ask
follow-up questions and try to keep the conversation going. And listen to some ideas
from the class.
6/66
7. Task 1: LANGUAGE AWARENESS
Give the students some advice in using SHOULD and SHOULN¨T to give advice.
Write the words avoiding injuries on the board . Ask the students to work in pairs
and discuss what people should or shouldn´t do when they are playing some sports.
Listen to some ideas from the class and elicit a list of shoulds and should ( e.g.
Your shouldn´t swim after a meal; You should stretch your muscles before you
exercise).Students Pointed out that when a car was driving the wrong way along one-
way street is very dangerous because you canget injured.. Students nominated an S to
read instructions and the grammar explanation to the class. After that teacher focused
on the form of the structure.
After all the information written above , each checked the answers with the class.
Teacher pointed out that not paying attention, or being careless is a dangerous when
your are waking down the street or a place where cars did not normally stop. So it could
be very dangerous an dyiou can be damaged. The Students had to do exercise
individually and then they compared their answers in pairs, discussing any differences.
After that activity students answered each question in plenary.
For definition words teacher asked Students worked with their partners from Ex.B. and
teacher asked Students to work in pairs and say what the man should and shouldn’t
have done using new verbs. Teacher asked Students to look at the Words in the
language box. If you were supposed that you should ot shouln´t do, so they can gice
some adive using the infinitive for giving advice.
In the part of focus grammar teacher asked students to complete the grammar table
using the information from the text in EX A; the teacher nominate students to read a
liud the correct sentences; poit out that we must use TO in this structure , eg. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SHOULDERS RELAXED. The teacher must help the
students with the comparative form of the adjectives can also be used in this
structures eg, IT´S BETTER TO SPEAK TO A PROFESSIONAL; IT´S MORE
IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SHOULDER RELAXED. The teacher must elicit other
ways fo giving advice with a similar meaning. E g. YOU SHOULD KEEP THE
SOULDER RELAXED ; YOU´D BETTER SEE A DOCTOR; YOU OUGHT TO SPEAK
TO A PROFESSIONAL.
You can continue like this: draw the students´attention to the language box. Give
them a moment to read the information and elicit the target grammatical construction.
The teacher can say that these are some of the other adjectives that can be used in
this structure . Other examples include unusual, rare, possible, unnesessary, and
other words that are important such vital, and crucial.
Make the students see the student´s book page for the audio script. Teacher asked
Students to read the question and options carefully. Teacher Showed Students the
grammar structure for S+Should have+past participle+C. And teacher asked students to
complete the grammar table individually, by referring t the text in Ex. A teacher
7/66
8. Task 1: LANGUAGE AWARENESS
nominated a Student to read the instruction and the grammar explain with a similar
meaning to the class.
For Transfer part teacher drew Students´s attention to the Watch out! Box and
emphazise that we cannot omit the words IT or the word TO in the infinitive when
using this structure. Ask the students to do this exercise individually and then to
compare their answers in pairs , disucssing any differencs. The teacher has to check
the answers with the class. In this part teacher asked students do this exercise
individually and then they compared their answers in pairs. Students checked the
answer with the class. They read the instructions to the class.
Ask Ss to read the model sentence.
Ask Ss to work in pairs and tell their partner about the actions and their consequences.
He asked Students to look at the examples in the Watch out! Box, teacher reminded
them that they should not forget to use IT IS......TO......, e. Teacher gave Students a
few minutes to think about some things that are importan to do.
For conclusion and evaluation part for the class teacher put the students into groups of
three or four to discuss the questions. When the groups finished, teacher elicited some
ideas from the class. Teacher listened to some ideas from the class and correct any
errors in the use of should have/ shouldn´t have. Then teacher asked Students to work
in pairs and told their partners about the things they didn’t do, using the phrases in the
box. For final part a homework teacher asked Students to complete asked Students to
complete WORKBOOK p- 52, section 1. And for the other topic teacher asked Students
to do exercises from WORKBOOK page 53,section 3.
7.- Conclusions
This lesson contained many exercises for revising the modal SHOULD/SHOULDN’T
and IT IS........TO....... for giving advises. With the examples we use pictures or images
for auxiliary verb and short answers appealed to the students and it hopes to help them
to understand the structure. As a teacher it gives the chance to personalize the subject
and talk about something as rules and advises. This lesson motivates the Students to
apply their ideas for expressing advises and at the same time help them to improve
vocabulary for being creator of their own learning processes . As we are in a very
modern world sttudents must creat their own knowledge of the language according to
their likes.
8. Self Evaluation
In this part of this work, it is important to say that it was a very interesting way to
introduce the topics for encourage the students to use grammar rules and structure as a
communicative tool for communicating each other. However it has been created with

about something that has already happened . Tell the students that they are going to
learn how to express regrets a bout the past in English. Point out that regret can be a
noun or a verb, eg, I REALLY REGRET EATING THAT SECOND PIECE OF PIE (

For the correct development of this lesson, Teacher gave Students a moment to read
the instruccions carefully after that teacher made sure they understood
confession(telling the truth about something you regret that has happened in the past.).
For the developments of this part teacher nominated a Student to read instructions

structure. And teacher pointed out that the structure to expresss regrests is I WISH.
For the moment of personalization teacher checked the answers with the class.

dindn´t do much exercise).
Teacher also Ask ed Students to work in pairs and say what they regret . Teacher
asked students to look at the Words in the language box. If you were supposed to do
something. The meaning is very similar to the idea to of a past intention. It suggests to
check answers with the class. Note that the topic sentence is, in this case,two
sentences. An alternative way for expressing this as a single sentence a d use the
sttructure I WISH I HAD..........
When the teacher try to Ask Ss to complete the grammar table individually, by referring
t the text in Ex. After that teacher nominated a Student to read the instruction and the
grammar explanation to the class.and the question was in the simple past. The
response to the question must therefore also refer to the past PEREFCT for the
structre of the I WISH I HAD WRITTEN , for example. Students had to complete the
grammar table individually by referring to the text in Ex. A and then compared their
answers in pairs, discussing any differences.
As following step teacher gave Students a few minutes to think about some things
they wish they haven done and use regrets and wishes- to do in the past but he didn´t
and why they didn´t do them. Next of these activities teacher asked students to work in
pairs and tell their partner about the things they didn’t do, using the phrases in teh box.
When this activity finished teacher corrected any errors in the use I WISH I HAD.........
For concluding with this part, it was taking into account to do put students into groups of
five or six, and students had te read each other’s descriptive paragraphs Have the
students to work in pairs and reapeat the exercise using IF ONLY instead of I
WISH , SHE WISHES ETC... Check the answer with the class. Eg.. IF ONLY SHE
HAD GONE TO COLLEGE , IF ONLY THEY HADN´T GONE ON VACATION LAST
YEAR.....
7. Conclusions
It believes that this lesson help students to know the different ways to think in a
different ways to face the some kinds of problems in past perfect and using at the
same time I WISH and IF ONLY... for expressing wishes and regrets. What would
have happened if something had been too diffrente. In short using hypothetical
sentences.
8. Self Evaluation

6. Procedure
This lesson has been designed on communicative approach development. This
topic is focused in the unit 12, “STAGE AND SCREEN!”(p.97) . In this section
students have to make use of RELATICE CLAUSES and express it when they
make difference between CLAUSES as subject and object. And at the same time
students interchange information. The main topic is to recycle vocabulary and
some adjectives to describe characters. In this case the book is going t be the
mail tool ,which will help us with some activities and they are going to use in the
activites.
As icebreaker moment. All students should be organized to play with recycle
vocabulary. Ask the students to keep their book closed. Write the word
entertainment on the board . Elicit words for different types of entertainment ,
weg,, movies, theater, dancing, opera, musicals, ballet etc…. Teacher asks
students to cover the list of entertainment with a strip of paper. Ask students to
work in pairs and discuss what the entertainment in the pictures are most
common . Elicit some ideas from the class. Then ask them to uncover the list of
entertaiment and match them with the pictures.
As a second activity is in the book (p.97) teacher asks students to look at the
picture on the book and the students have to discuss what their favorite activity
is. . Then teacher ask them some questions: Whay is that activity so important ?
Give the students some minutes to read the questions . The teacher has tyo
explain the difference between watch a play and got ot the thaerter,
generallye referws to seein g a professional theater production , while wate a
play can refer to professional show but it can also mean going to an amateur
or children performance, or watchibng a play on Tv.
All the answers are covered, teacher nominates a student to read the grammar
explanation to the class. After that teacher ask students to work individually and
find examples in the text in Ex. A to complete the grammar table (p-98)
Teacher asks students to compare their answers in pairs and finally teacher ask
students to compare their answers in pairs and as last activity teacher check the
answers with the class.
Check that the students underatntd some words that are very important for
this lesson for example STAND-UP COMIC ( some one whose job is to tos
stand in front of the audience and entertain them by telling jokes and stories
to make them laugh . The term STAND-UP COMEDIAN is also widely used.
Give tehs students time tot do the task individually . There may be another
choice fdor this activity: askl the students gto work individually and rank the
activities from 1 (favorite) to 5 (least favotite). Ask them to compare tair
29/66
30. ranking in pairs . To wrap up , fin out which activity are the most popular in the
class and which are the least popular.
Start with a physical warm up that is related to the theme of acting and
performing . Ask the students to stand up and for a circle . If you have a class
with more than 15 students ask them to form two circles. Nominate a student
to start the activity . Ask them to imagine that they are holding an incredibly
valuable antique vase , and that they should pass it very carefully around the
circle . Repeat the mime activity with other imaginary object , eg and angry
cat, a crying baby, a piece of smelly cheese , a hot potato, a full glass of water.
The teacher asks the students to read the instructions before they listen to the
recording , play the recording once. Check the answer with the class and he
should ask the students what the word or words helped them to decide the
answer, eg. Lightning , scenery, ballerina. There is another alternative, the
teacher ask the students to keep their books closed. Write the words play,
ballet and stand-up comic on the board. Tell the students they will hear two
people discussing one of these performances. Play the recording once and
ask the students to compare their answer in pairs and at the end, check the
answer with the class.
Finally teacher gives students extra practice, ask them to complete sentences
using subject relative clause: HE IS THE DIRECTOR WHO´S WORKING ON
THIS SHOW, THE LAST SCENE IS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT MAKES
PEOPLE CRY. OR THIS IS THE VENUE THAT IS USED FOR THE OSCAR
CEREMONY.
7. Conclusions
Personally, I consider this topic so important because it is necessary to
understand and remember and express some ideas that are more complex, I
mean that are compound sentence; The compound sentences have more than
one main verb. All the verbs in simple past (regular and irregulars, most of the
time), then they acquire more knowledge (vocabulary) to express their iades in a
complex structure.. Finally they have to use that new knowledge. In the end, they
are going to learn progressively, and they are going to notice it. They are going
to recycle also some vocabulary that they learnt in the previous lessons so they
can re-use and remember in order to enrich their background.

31. The main objective of all the lessons is having a communicative approach, for
this reason it is important that learners interact between them. Activities have to
be different, interesting, and valuable for the students. Grammar is boring for
most of the students; so, the grammar activities have to be joyful and related to
the daily life, otherwise they are going to forget it and dispose the information.
Interaction with the learners has to be taken into account. No matter the topic, it
is important to provide confidence to them, so they could feel eager to interact
and make questions when necessary. When the students are facing some
grammar structure they do not want to follow ordinary lessons but different
ones where the SS can interact in pairs or in groups.

4. Theme and motivation
Motivation is a essential part in the language adquisition, most of the tiome when
the students like what they are learning and how they are learning. That is why
they have to use the information they like. I mean fashion, Tv shows and
performing lifestyle. The real motivation for this course was the students read
and talk about someone who they admired and they want to show them the rest
of their partners . We believe that it is a success project because our students
get more interesting about their careers and also they care about the qualities,
abilities and values to those people who they admired. It is very important to
involve the students in searching the knowledge or information to get a complete
biography.
Being involve in today´s fashion world is very easy for the students because
currently we have a lot of technology and they can have the newest information
We believe that the students will be motivated when they know how much effort
did those talent people did and attitudes they had when they did such amazing
discovers.

41. 7. Procedure
You will find the information on page101 from the unit 10 that its title is STAGE
AND SCREEN A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of
the Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and tips,
which not only facilitate lesson planning, but has helped me to improve my
classes everyday, giving me strategies to improve in my teaching techniques.
During UT’s term, the English academy has been able to discuss and use many
of these strategies and examples first hand, and the lessons learned from
trainers´ and colleagues´ experience have made us appreciate and be aware of
why I include certain exercises in the lesson and what benefits they can offer.
For the first exercise, the icebreaker, the teacher has to write on the board : THE
BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN WAS……THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE
EVER WAS……..; THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN WAS…… Ask
the students to complete the sentences individually . Then ask them to work in
groups of four or five and compare their answer . Elicit some ideas from the
class.
paste different pictures of some actor s an d actress who were starring t
some famous and popular movies. Each group have to talk about those movies and
give their opinin why they like those films or why they did not like in order to start
getting into the main topic. OBJECT RELATIVE CLAUSE.
Read the isntructyions to the class , and check that the students understand the word
TAGLINE ( a short phrase or slogan for advertising something) . Movies tagline are
the shortest sentences that sometimes appear after a title of a movie and are used to
promote a movie in advertisements . They usually give a small clue as to what the
movies is going to be about. Encourrage the students to look at the type of movie if
they need an additional hint
We opened the books (p. 101) and individually the students looked at the
language in context and the read read all this information, after they had to match
them and understand the information. These sentences could be checked in
pairs. This social strategy, helping and learning from each other, not only it is a
benefit of knowledge, but it promotes autonomous learning. We ask to student to
read aloud the language context some information that has Object Relative
Clause.
The next step is clarify the meaning of new vocabulary through the use of
different means and we are able to check our students have understood (p.101)
with this vocabulary we can manage the class effectively in a wide variety of
context taking into consideration the learners’ needs and level of the language
competence as well as mixed abilities.
Ask the students to do the matching task individually and then compare their
answer in pair or in group and if necessary discuss any different point of view.
Check the answer with the class . Ask the students give reasons for their
41/66
42. choices. Point out that dude ir a very informal expression for man ant that it is
generally used in a friendly way to address a man . In this context rendition is
the process of transferring terrorist suspects from one jurisdiction to another.
After that, we can use a variety of exercise types and example, students get
together in groups of 4 and read page 111, they should answer all the question
trivia, an example What famous tenor died in 2007? etc. they share their
answer and we give them instructions to close book and be prepare to play a
trivia game. Each team ask one question to another team, and they will have 30
seconds to answer it correctly and get one point.
Then we open the book on page 101, and we review grammar points “Object
pronouns”, we use slides and present a chart showing the grammar about object
pronouns and we also show the differences between subject pronouns and
object pronouns. After students will work by pairs and choose one important
person, who is recognized for their inventions or actions in the past. They are
going to do a biography about this important person and they are going to
present in front to their partners using all grammar points (verbs in past and
object pronouns) and vocabulary.
To conclude I asked the students to tell us the reason about why these people
where mode role for them and explain what attitudes are they having .Ask the
students to keep a record of all TV shows they watch in one week . Ask them
to write the names of the show and what type of show it is. They should also
give each show a rating from 5 (very good/ interesting ) to 1 (very bad/boring).
At the end of the week , ask them to work in groups of four or five students and
compare their findings. Ask each group to report back to the class and say
which programs were the most and the least popular. The students have to
answer The Workbook, p 59 section 3 and 60 section 4.
7. Conclusions
I think this lesson encouraged students to know and what is their purpose in life,
what attitudes they should have it if they want to be a successful people in their
careers, It also helps to students to learn a little bit of fashion world and famous
people for their careers and their performance in life out of the stage. using new
vocabulary and verbs regulars and irregulars in past. I believe that this lesson
improve students to take care about their actions and attitudes to help them in
the future, we finish our class telling students, if they want a better future, they
should know the past event to not do the same mistakes.
8. Self Evaluation
The class shoulg have all the element that are necesry por the students like
sounds, images, some videos and performing or acxting so that is way I try to do
this lesson more dynamic with the slide projector because students want to
look at their favorite actors and actress , and also using pictures in a language
42/66
43. classroom, give students different classroom situations in order to be prepared
for the real life. Even these scenes are not the real life, students use their
imagination for locate themselves in those situation. , encouraging and
motivating the students to learn and use the language and I also incorporate
learning task and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and
take into account learners’ learning styles and cultural expectations.

1. Description of the area
This area covers a wide range of needs that learners need, specially the advanced
students. For this area it is necessary to provide social forms where learners could
face difficult situations. It is necessary that learners establish a micro peer teaching,
where they are going to learn by interacting with classmates. Media e-learning is
important in order to complement their knowledge. Other techniques as materials
use and pronunciation training are required to cover the cognitive development that
learners need. The teacher has to play as a counselor and lead the students into an
environment of awareness of the language,
2. Description of class and course
This, material is designed for learners in a level 6 course. Most of the learners are
students between the ages of 18 and 25, with some age exceptions. The class is
focused on let the learners use the present and the impersonal for giving medical
advice. For this reason it is necessary to make a review of the present tense and the
impersonal con IT IS……. TO…Thus, students are going to be able to express
medical advice by making use of time expressions and new vocabulary about
illness and symptoms. The book needed for this class is open mind 6 from
Macmillan editorial; covering the unit 9, page 92.

- To motivate and encourage the students to experiment with the language.
- To promote learner autonomy.
6. Procedure
The utsv is focused on communicative approach development; which is achieved
through a constant interaction between students. This topic is focused in the unit
9, “BODY TALK” (p. 87). In this section learners have to make use of a medical
form. They also have to give some advice for some symptoms by using body
talk and illness expressions. It is necessary to review the present and the
vocabulary for symptoms and diseases in order to let them interact in a context.
The first thing to do is remember the structure and characteristic of medical
conditions, medical vocabulary, and of course symptoms.
The first exercise is an icebreaker. All the students must be organized in a
horseshoe form. The main idea is practicing the new vocabulary and recycle the
previous vocabulary that the students learnt in the past.. The activity consists in
creating a filling a medical form. The teacher has to provide the first idea by
showing a real medical prescription. Ask the students to work in pairs and
discuss in what situation people have to fill in medical forms . Listen to some
ideas from class . Possible situations : when starting a new job, when enrolling
51/66
52. in a school, college or university, when taking out an insurance policy, or when
applying for a driver´s license , etc..
Then, it is necessary a small introduction about how the medical topic, I mean
illness, symptoms atc,,. The next activity is in the book (p.91). In order to clarify
the topic, it is necessary that students listen a conversation in this page, and
make a full inferring about the usage of the medical advice in the real life arter
that the SS will brainstorm about similar situation in a doctor´s office. The
conversation also shows a few time expressions that students could use. After
this activity, it is necessary a quick review about the topic so far, it is necessary
to have a small feedback and clarify the grammar. After that, they have to
continue working with the rest of the activities of the page. Once they finished,
the teacher provides clarification and mistakes corrections on the activities, more
feedback time is required to answer to learners´ doubts.
After this activity the SS will listen to a dialogue between a patient and a doctor
so that they get into these atmosphere and use their imagination for this topic..
They are going to see some pictures, and then they have to describe the
situation accordinf to the topic o f the unit. MEDICAL FORM .
For the last activity, learners have to make a medical form and a prescription to a
partner. They have to write their illness, the symptoms and the possible pieces of
davice thy need for healing this medical problem.. Then they have to deliver the
medical form to a partner. Learners have to response the medical form with a
prescrioption performing as doctors. The teacher has to point the mistake and
correct it, and then they have to read the prescription to the class.
To finish the session, the teacher has to provide a complete feedback for the
entire class, and provide homework in the workbook page 54 section 5. The
teacher has to check the homework, and provide feedback of it next session.
7. Conclusions
This topic is helpful to make use of a grammatical structure into a different
usage. For this reason it is important that learners get aware about how much to
they know about the symptoms and injuries or diseases , and then use it for
different purpose in the class to give help or to express symptoms.. It is also a
good opportunity to let students evaluate themselves because they already
know this topic since it is obvious they have gone to the doctor and they have
this experience in mind. They just need to put ii into a classroom context. The
topic enforces vocabulary already known by the students, and they acquire new
52/66
53. vocabulary. The aim is to provide more complex activities that are going to make
students analyze situations. In the end, learners are going to feel more satisfied
to face more difficult contexts like this topic.
8. Self Evaluation
The class is designed to cover some grammar points related to medical
situartions. The activities provides an important section where students are able
to make correction. As this area specifies, it is important to have evaluation (as
soon as possible). However, instant evaluation turns complex when having
groups with many students. For that reason, evaluation could be considered as
an extra class activity for the teacher; providing results next session. Digital
environment is helpful to cover this task. As a very quick evatuation of the topic,
the students participate everyday at the end of the class in a daily oral
evaluation. This is a very useful tool in the teaching area because you can
realize that SS really catch the theme, the way you expected.. By clarifying the
topic where learners could have problems, the ss will feel more comfortable with
the new structures they learnt .

3. Topic: Writing Descriptions
Theme and motivation
The real motivation for this course was the students start thinking
about how to make composition using new vocabulary and the object
relative clause and the subject relative clause. We believe that it is a
success lesson because our students get more interesting about their
improvement because they are learning more complex structure for
writing skills. It will help our students to describe and definite TV
shows, programs, and film and other like plays, performance and
other thins like that.
We believe that the students will be motivated when they define their
personal plans and learn from them and as teachers we can help
them to use different resources and sources to get clear their goals.

62. 6. Procedure
You should look up this information on page 103 from level
6. A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of the
Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and
tips, which not only facilitate lesson planning, but has helped me to
improve my classes everyday, reflect and draw conclusions from
observations and self-observation in order to gain a better understanding
of the teaching situation and validate, bring changes to and improve my
teaching, put forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional
development, receive and make use of feedback on my teaching
performance. During UT’s term, the English academy has been able to
discuss and incorporate the systematic sharing of ideas to promote best
practice.
For the first exercise, the icebreaker, ask the students to read the
instructions, and ask them to complete the task individually and tghen to
compare with a partner their answer, and discussing any difference. Check
the answer with the class. Note that the topic sentence is , in this case, two
sentences. An alternative way of expressing this as a single sentence would
be PROJECT RUNAWAY IS MY FAVORITE REALITY TV SHOW . Ask
the ss to why the writer has chosen to start her paragraph with a question
(eg. To raise the level of interest)
Ask the students what their plans for the writing, example Tv show a play
etc... Ask them to work in pairs and make a list of the programs they like.
Don’t expect them to produce any future forms here ( If they write things like .
Have the students look at the statements again and think about members of
their family and the like the have about television. Have them work in pairs
and talk about their family and friends in this way: My sister always plans
everything very carefully, but my friends do not make plans.
Present slides to the students and remind them of the form of the present
progressive: the verb be + the -ing form of the verb and remember to them it
will be used for future arrangements. We opened the book (p. 118) and
individually the students choose a present progressive sentence from the
conversation in this page and write it on the board. Elicit the same sentence
using different pronouns. Focus on the contractions of the verb to be. Ask the
students to read the conversation again and underline all the examples of the
present progressive. Elicit the answers from the class, emphasize that we
use the present progressive for the future to talk about plans that are definite.
The next step have the students look at the picture (p. 103). Ask some
questions to set the scene. Tell the students that they will hear a
conversation between the two people in the picture and that some words as
well as the singular, as these are the ones which are heard in the recording.
Check the meaning and pronunciation of these words, chorally and
62/66
63. individually. Encourage the students to write the key words. After that, we
can open the book (p.103) read the instructions and the three target phrases
to the class. Tell the students that these are three very common, useful
expression that use the verb go. Read the instruction to the class. Refer the
students to the grammar table, and point out the future form with going to.
Elicit that it is always proceeded by the simple present form of be and
followed by the base form of the verb, tell the students should practice in the
worksheet 12A, tell them the difference between the present progressive and
going to when talking about future plans. Tell students that we use the
present progressive when the plans are definite. Emphasize that we use the
going to form to express plans in the form of intentions (things that we
strongly want to do).
Finally ask the students to keep their books closed. Elicit from them what
different skills they have practiced while suing this book. Elicit speaking,
reading, listening, and writing. Ask them which of these skills is the easiest
and which is the most difficult, and shy. Then ask them what general areas of
language they have practiced. Elicit grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
Ask them which of these they think is the most important, and why. Finally,
have them say which skills and areas of language they like the most/least
and why.
7. Conclusions
I think this lesson encouraged students to know and what is their purpose in
life, what plans they have in life, and they can describe some situation
about play, comic programs and in general about television. The students
can understand and use object relative clause and subject to talk about and
describing TV shows, and use this description to use all the knowledge
learnt before.
8. Self Evaluation
I try to do this lesson authentic, using slides in a language classroom, give
students difficult classroom situations, encouraging and motivating the
students to learn and use the language and I also incorporate learning task
and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and take into
account learners’ learning styles and cultural expectations. I also incorporate
the systematic sharing of ideas with colleagues to promote best practice and
access the relevant support systems that will enable me to develop further
and find solutions to my teaching problems. One of the most important facts,
I put forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional development.
