Sean Ockert 07/12/10

Class Profile: The pre-intermediate class consists of 10-12 learners from Asia, the Middle East, Europe and South America, with a majority of female students. They have been keen, attentive learners in the time that I have taught them. Lately the students have had lots of writing practice which has been beneficial for the quieter learners but not as engaging for the kinaesthetic and auditory learners, especially the males in the class. This lesson should stimulate their conversational skills by giving them a good amount of speaking practice. Aims for my section of the lesson (ordered according to importance). For Ss to..... Language skills (speaking) receive speaking practice in a role-play activity by forming and asking questions from cards to find a suitable organisation Language skills (reading) practice their reading for gist and specific information skills via a reading activity using a newspaper article Language systems (vocabulary) be introduced to/recycle words related to protesting and use them in the context of the lesson Professional Objectives (these should be appropriate for the lesson being taught and relate to the assessment criteria) For me to. Use questions to more effectively to check meaning (5g) Provide more meaningful feedback for the learners (5h) Be more aware of spoken and written errors and correct them effectively (2b) Assumptions - For this lesson: What do students already know? The students will be aware of protests and demonstrations and will be able to contribute ideas to the discussions

What relevant work have the students done in previous lessons on this course?

They have turned statements into questions in previous speaking activities

Form?

Sts may have difficulty with some of the vocab eg. globalisation Pronunciation? The Sts may have difficultly pronouncing sentences on the role-play cards They may mispronounce some of the lexis Students ability to carry out activities? Eg. Timing, instructions, handout design, room layout Sts may be reluctant to share their own opinions for cultural reasons Sts may finish the speaking activity too quickly Skills work: What will be challenging in the texts
themselves and in the tasks you have designed.

Give example to show protest is used more broadly. Eg. If a baby is hungry, it will cry and

As class, demo one or two of the sentences eg. Wants to stop pollution -> Do you want to stop pollution?

Use photo, MCQs and specific examples See Language Analysis

Drill some examples sentences from the cards Drill vocab when teaching meaning esp. globalisation
