7 Past Simple and Continuous
7 Past Simple and Continuous
2.1 Requesting and providing information on home, family, address, people, hobbies, habits;
3.1 Identifying details from simple texts that contain common information.
OBJECTIVES/LESSON AIMS: by the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
A. Cognitive Objectives : 1. read the dialogues in pairs for specific information;
2. make up sentences of their own using the newly acquired vocabulary;
3. ask / answer to questions from the teacher or from their peers;
4. use the past simple tense and continuous in sentences ;
5. ask simple questions to their peers and provide short answers
B. Affective Objectives: a. to create a warm atmosphere for study ;
b. to give students an active role in the process of teaching / learning ;
c. to help students enjoy speaking a foreign language ;
d. to make students confident when speaking English
SKILLS: listening, speaking, reading, writing
INTERACTION: T-Ss, S-S, Ss-Ss
TEACHING TECHNIQUES: conversation, dialogue, filling exercises,
role play, choral speaking, gaps
METHODS OF TEACHING: Communicative Approach, Grammar Translation, Total Physical Response
TEACHING AIDS: textbook, blackboard, notebooks, coloured pieces of chalk, worksheets with different
activities
ASSUMPTIONS:I assume that students are familiar with some topics and that they are eager to find out more details.
ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS: Students may be noisy when working in pairs/groups. Taking into account that 3-4 students have a
poor level of knowledge and their motivation is rather low, I expect that a part of them might not
participate in the teaching/learning process as expected.
ASSESSMENT: formative, oral, homework, systematic observation
