Lesson Plan #2 - Listening

Narrative: students come from various different backgrounds and speak different languages. They have a variety of educational levels in their native language.

Rationale: students will introduce themselves in various settings and will learn how to use the phrases that native speakers use in these situations. Students need to identify appropriate language to use in formal and informal situations and need to know how to small talk and ask questions when they meet new people.

Goal: students will be able to listen to key words and target language in basic conversations with community members, songs, and video clips as well as asking and answering questions.

Objectives:

-       Students will be able to identify new vocabulary, questions, and phrases seen on the video.

-       Students will be able to introduce themselves to the class.

-       Students will be able to fill in the blanks while listening to a dialogue on a video.

-       Students will be able to perform introductions to the whole class.

Materials: handouts, pen, pencil, question cards, dialogue strips, computer with Internet access

Procedure:

Warm up (15 minutes): teacher gives each student some questions to ask their partners/classmates. Students pair up and ask each other’s questions. Teacher observes this activity.

- Introduction (15 minutes): teacher introduces herself to the class and elicits introductions from the class. For example,

Teacher: Hi, my name is Marshella. What’s your name?

Student: My name is ____________.

Teacher: Nice to meet you, Sarah.

Student: Nice to meet you too.

Teacher: How are you today?

Student: I’m fine and you?

Teacher: I’m very well. Thank you.

Teacher writes this short dialogue on the board and students can add sentences or words to their dialogue.

- Pre-activity (10 minutes): teacher shows a Youtube video and pre-teaches some vocabulary words in a dialogue.
