Lesson Plan
Level: Junior Lesson type: Listening & Vocabulary
Name: Information about the students in this class: There are about 35 students in the class. They are in Grade 7 of 13 or14 years old. Many of them have been learning English at least for 5 years. They have different levels of English. Their first language is Chinese, most of them don't like answering the questions in class and some may not take active parts in the activities, especially speaking activity. One reason might be they are not used to speaking more in their class, so I will encourage and motivate them to make them get involved. In case it happens, I also need to monitor and praise the good models, so they can be able to do the tasks with confidence. Main aim: By the end of the lesson, students will be better able to listen for gist, specific information and detail in the context of person’s physical appearance. Subsidiary aim: By the end of the lesson, students will be better able to use the new vocabulary in spoken form in the context of person’s physical appearance. Personal aim(s): 1. Give clear and stage instructions. 2. Manage time properly for each stage to make sure that we have time to achieve the subsidiary aim. Materials and their sources: 1.
