MY HOBBIES

Time: 45 minutes

Materials:
- Lecture slide: KE45 - Speak B - Unit 14 (1) - My hobbies
- Toys and crafts: Puppet, rewarding system (Kani image, carrot images etc or flexible)
- Flashcards
- Whiteboard and pen

General notes:
- Speed: For this level, speaking speed is really important. Teachers should speak
slower than usual. Speed will be decided based on the student's age, the younger the
slower. Speed will also depend on the students’ level.
- TPR: Using TPR is really important to motivate the student and using puppets,
flashcards, as required, will help motivate the student.
- Pronunciation: For ESL students, correcting pronunciation is really important and
teachers should correct during the class.
- The teacher should appraise the student or correct positively frequently.
- If the student cannot answer, the teacher can mouth then say out loud to help.
- If the student cannot concentrate, the teacher can use TPR or puppets.
-

student tool mode is off during class. It should be granted for students at some
activities mentioned in the LP. Instead, all answers should be given orally in full
sentences. Please pay attention to their use of English and pronunciation and fix their
errors during class.
Evaluate student performance after class (for teachers): Please spare five minutes to fill

T says: Let's play a game called "Mime game' together before starting the new lesson. I will
give you time to have a look at the pictures. Then I will describe the actions and you guess
what they are by saying aloud.

T makes an example by miming the action without saying: 'Play badminton' and signals S to
say: Play badminton/ badminton?
S can say the words or phrases

If S can't give an answer when you do the action three times, skip it and move to the next
ones.
