Lesson Rationale (700-1000 words):

Method

The structure of this lesson will presented in the PPP format (Presentation, Practice and production). This approach is presented in an orderly and structured
manner, which will help students (especially in the elementary level) take in new information easily. This approach may help students to first hear and see
the new information presented by the teacher and afterwards gain confidence in in the practice of the new language.

Structure

The warmer gives each student the opportunity to start thinking in English, but in a fun manner which involves the whole class. This will create an
opportunity for each student to interact with their classmates and the teacher, whilst using the topic. The chosen topic will be used to stimulate each
students view on their personal preferences on hobbies and leisure time activities. Students will also gain the opportunity of getting to know their teacher
and classmates better. The aim of this warmer is to help students engage fully in the classroom.

The first presentation meaning activity introduces the target vocabulary to each student along with the meaning of the new words. The meaning of the
words, will also be presented with a picture, which will provide some depth to the students. Further questions will be asked in order to provide a more in
depth understanding/ meaning of the new word. Students will also be provided with the word and definition on the board and each will be pointed to when
discussed. This way, students will be introduced with a new word and its meaning by seeing the new word (as well as seeing a picture) and hearing the
targeted vocab.

The second Presentation Form activity will provide students with an activity, on which students can match the target vocabulary with pictures associated
with the words. This exercise is designed to help students with the meaning of the words and the correct spelling of the words. In my opinion, this is a great
way for students to memorise the words and its meaning, in a fun and exciting manner. They will develop an understanding of the word, before we head to a
6 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan
more difficult exercise in the next phase. Students will also get the opportunity to see and understand the meaning of the word in a more concrete manner.

The third Presentation pronunciation activity the teacher will chorus each new word carefully a few times, as some of the word are quite long and difficult to
grasp at first. After a few repetitions of the word, the teacher will ask the students to mimic her. Struggling students will also be helped individually and once
each student understands how to pronounce the word correctly, the teacher will continue with the next word. This gives the teacher the opportunity to
focus on each word individually and help students to develop each sound of each word in the correct way. The teacher will also assist struggling student to
ensure that each student is confident with the correct pronunciation of each new word. The teacher will also focus on the shape of her mouth whilst
pronouncing each word, which will simplify the learning process for the students.

The Controlled practice stage will provide students with an activity, which will help students to identify the new word with its appropriate meaning. This
activity should be rewarding as the exact same definitions, which was used in the presentation meaning stage, were used. Students will also work in pairs of 5
(with one woman in each group), which will also bring support to struggling/ shy students to enjoy the lesson as much as possible.

The freer practice stage will also be a group activity, although students will use the new word along with the correct definition in freer way in order to make
a conversation with each other in the group. T will ask the students to discuss some of their favourite hobbies and leisure time activities. T will monitor the
conversations carefully and give feedback on errors to ensure that students get the most out of the lesson.

The cooler provides revision for each student and shows each student how far they’ve improved during the lesson. This will be done in a fun manner, as the
teacher will give the definition of the words and students will get the opportunity to lift their hands and guess the appropriate answer. This will create
positive competitiveness in the class and students will hopefully be encourage to practice what they have learned in the class and build on their knowledge at
home. This should give each student a sense of accomplishment and encourage them to build on their knowledge and be excited about their next English
lesson.

Potential issues

Students may find the activities too challenging, as all of the vocabulary might be new. Therefor it might be challenging when some students already know
some of the words, while others do not. My solution on this, is to provide a revision activity during the practice form, which will focus on matching the words
with the picture. A similar activity to the previous exercise, which will help students to memorise the words. This will also help students to see which words
7 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan
they still don’t understand. I have chosen for the class to work in groups and have class discussions, which will create a fun atmosphere and learning
environment in the classroom. During these activities, the teacher will always observe and monitor the discussions and correct struggling students.
