    Lesson Plan: The Natural Approach in Foreign Language Teaching

    Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to engage in a basic conversation

    using common vocabulary and simple sentence structures in the target language.

    2a. Foreign Language Standard(s) Addressed: Communication – Standard 1.1: Students

    engage in conversation, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and

    exchange opinions.

    2b. English Language Development Standards Addressed: Grades 9-12, ELD 2.1.2 (B)

    Express basic needs, feelings, and information on familiar topics using simple sentences.

    3. Common Core Anchor Standard(s) Addressed: Anchor Standards for Speaking and

    Listening: Comprehension and Collaboration, (1) Prepare for and participate effectively in a

    range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and

    expressing their own clearly and persuasively.

    4. ACTFL Proficiency Level Expected: Novice-Mid

    5. Scaffolding (building on strengths):

    Use semantic maps to help students understand new vocabulary.

    Incorporate realia and images to make vocabulary more tangible.

    Employ gestures and body actions to facilitate comprehension.

    Utilize cognates and similarities between L1 and the target language.

    Encourage group work and peer support.

    6. Review: Briefly review the greetings and basic introductions covered in the previous lesson

    to provide context for today's lesson.

    7. Vocabulary:
    Greetings: Hello, Hi, Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening

    Common questions: How are you? What's your name?

    Basic answers: I'm fine, My name is...

    8. Teach the Material: Introduce the new vocabulary through visual aids, gestures, and simple

    sentences. Engage the students in pronunciation and comprehension exercises. Explain the use

    of greetings and basic questions in everyday conversations.

    9. Guided Practice: Conduct drills where students practice greetings and asking simple

    questions. Provide sentence frames to support students in forming responses. This guided

    practice should involve both teacher-led and peer-led activities.

    10. Independent Practice: Organize role-playing exercises where students engage in

    conversations using the new vocabulary. For example, pair students up and have them take

    turns greeting each other and asking questions. Encourage them to use gestures and facial

    expressions to enhance communication.

    11. Differentiated Instruction Options:

    For students with lower language abilities, provide additional visual aids and simplified

    sentence frames.

    For advanced students, introduce more complex questions and encourage them to use the new

    vocabulary creatively.

    Consider various learning styles by incorporating visual aids, auditory exercises, and

    kinesthetic activities.
    12. Formative Assessment: Observe students during guided and independent practice to assess

    their ability to use the new vocabulary and sentence structures in context. Take note of

    individual strengths and areas that may require further support.

    13. Summative Assessment: For the summative assessment, students will participate in a role-

    play activity where they will greet and introduce themselves to a partner, engage in a brief

    conversation, and respond to basic questions. Their performance in this assessment will

    demonstrate their ability to meet the lesson objective.

    14. Closure: Conclude the lesson by reviewing the key vocabulary and phrases learned. Ask

    students to share one thing they found interesting or challenging about today's lesson.

    The Natural Approach emphasizes the gradual acquisition of language through immersion and

    meaningful communication. By incorporating scaffolding, realia, and interactive activities,

    this lesson aims to engage students in the target language and build their proficiency at the

    Novice-Mid level.
