 Information about the language to be used:
 Vocabulary: places in a city
 Grammar: prepositions of place
 Communicative areas: asking for and giving directions
Skills: Speaking, Reading, Writing
Assumed knowledge: Ss have already studied/heard about places in town and prepositions of place, so they
can understand the new information better.

Students’ problems:
I anticipate that the following may cause problems:
 Ss. may find it difficult to pronounce some words in English;
 Ss. may have difficulties in using the English language to express themselves, or when speaking;

 Some Ss might not be interested in the topic - Solution: T uses mime, body movements, jokes
 Some Ss might have problems with commands - Solution: explanations given in L1

Class management: Ss work: as individuals

Dealing with mistakes:

Accuracy: 1. Ss correction – self correction
2. if 1 doesn’t work – peer correction
3. if 1&2 don’t work – T provides the correct answer and will probably revise the teaching
problems
Fluency: T doesn’t intervene in the activity to correct the mistakes not break Ss’ communication. T can put
down notes and deal with them the next time.

Teaching methods:
- the audio-lingual approach
-the audio-visual approach
-the communicative approach
-the natural approach

Teaching techniques:
- individual repetition
- choral repetition
- game
- eliciting; point and say;
- pair work;
- group work;

Teaching aids:
- student’s book, notebook, laptop, online worksheets, youtube, Zoom
