LESSON PLAN-LISTENING

LESSON PLAN - LISTENING

Title: the greetings

Class profile

The number of Students of  eight grade from the Educational Institution  Santo Domingo de Guzman of Quibdó is 22, they are 12 men and 10 women, their range of age is between 10 and 12 years, On the other hand,  they  are going to attend three hours week,  they have a lack of interest and motivation for learning English,  it is one of the reasons by which their level in English is not good but in general terms, the level of girls in English is lower than boys due to girls are very shy and don’t like to participate in class. Most of them come from different neighborhoods of Quibdó, they also have bad behavior in the classroom, that’s to say that their discipline is not good, another factor that contributes to this problem is that they come from poor families reason by which, it is very difficult for them to have access to educational tools (materials) at home.

Grade: eight

Number of students: 22

Learning style:  visual and kinesthetic learners.

Time: 45 minutes.

Goal:

At the end of the lesson the students of eight grade will be able to recognize and use the greetings in English as in arrival as in leave-takings.

Skills: listening

Competences: linguistic and communicative.

Teacher’s Role

I am going to explain the students  how to use the greetings easily giving them clear examples about the topic, after that I play them an video to go deeply with the greetings in order to develop strategies for students feel more involved with the topic and make easier their English learning process.

Student’s Role

The students are going to be organized in couples, each couple will stand in front of the board and greet his/her partner creating a short dialogue where they will interchange greetings and leave-takings.

Anticipated problems:

The problem I have noticed in my students is that they think English is very difficult, for this reason they feel strange about this subject-matter, each time the teacher ask them something in English they do not answer for fear to make mistakes, this is because English is a new subject-matter for them due to at the school they did not have the opportunity of attending English language.

Possible solution: in order to solve this problem we have decided to talk to them and explain them about the importance of English as a foreign language nowadays and although English is a foreign language it is not as difficult as they think; On the other hand, I will use strategies as team-work and frequently participation in front of the board, but I will make more emphasis in girls’ participation than boys, because girls are shier than men.

Personal aims:

·      To improve aspects related to time management.

·      To improve aspects related to student’s behavior.

CLASS SESSION:

STAGE	AIM	PROCEDURE	TIME
Ice-breaker   Modeling and drilling   Asking and answering questions concerning the video.	we greet the student, then, we write the name of the topic on the board and ask them to know if they have some previous knowledge about the topic, then we clarify it The video is about two people greeting each other as in arrival as in leave-taking in English. To check for understanding	After listening the different opinions of my students, we play an audio in which there are two people greeting each other, then, we ask them about what they understood about the audio, once it is done, we ask them to go in front of the board and do a dialogue as what they heard on the audio. The students had enough time to watch the video many times to have a clear idea about the topic We ask some questions to the learners about the video they have watched many times, the questions are in this way: how many people were participating in the conversation? What was the main idea of the conversation? And so on...	15 minutes 20 minutes 10 minutes
