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

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
