 Teaching approach: Communicative Approach
 Materials and resources: names cards – cardboard cards with personal information for the board.
Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this first lesson I have chosen not to use ICT. I will try to
include them in the next lessons.
 Seating arrangement: Students will be sitting in lines as they usually do and then I will tell them to
make groups of four for activity 1.
• Cooperative work: Students will work cooperatively while working in groups. They need to decide
which picture or word to choose from the board and then they have to decide the type of question
they have to make.
 Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
- Students may have problems to understand some instructions or what the teacher says. I will
paraphrase the instruction using gestures and miming.
- Some students may be shy to speak aloud. I will stay near them in order to make them feel
confident.

 Potential problems students may have with the language:
- Students may not understand a question, so I will guide them pointing to pictures and modelling
the answer first.
- Some students may have problems to pronounce certain words or sounds. I will ask them to
repeat the words several times and to listen carefully to the way I pronounce them (how I use my
lips, teeth or tongue).
- Students may have difficulties thinking of vocabulary to express themselves. I will provide some
help using miming or asking another student to help.
 Assessment: I will check that students comprehend and understand by listening to them during
their participation in class. I will also take into account their fluency and their ability to
communicate.

I will say: “As your teacher and I have already told you, during this month I will be teaching you and
your teacher will be with us, so we can count on her. This class I want to know a little bit about you.
Right? Let´s start with your names”.
I will prepare some cards with cardboard with their names written on them. I will call each student
to come to the front and I will give the card in order to establish eye contact and start to remember
their names.
“Look, I have these cards with your names on them. I will call you and you come and take your card. In
this way I can start to remember your names! You will leave the card on your desk so I can see it. At
the end of the class you will give them back to me and I will hand them in again next class. Is it
clear?”
Students: “Yes!”
Teacher: “Ok, let´s start with Daiana”.
Transition: “Well done! Now I can see your names! I would like to know more about you and I would
like you to know about me. So we are going to play a guessing game. Are you ready?”
- PRESENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT
Activity 1: 10´
I will display the following words and pictures on the board. I will prepare them in a big size on
cardboard. I will tell them to work in groups of four (five groups) and that the cards show
information about me. They have to choose a number and ask me two different questions to that
answer. They will have some time to think the questions. I will choose a number as an example and I
will ask what they would ask for that answer.

1) 31 4)
2)
3) 5) WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
6) MADONNA
I have taken the pictures from different Google images.
“Look at the cards on the board. They have different words and pictures. They all show information
about me. You are going to work in groups of four. Each group has to choose a card by saying the
number next to it and has to ask me two different questions to that answer. Is it clear? We are
going to make an example. If you choose number one, what would you ask?”
Students: “How old are you?”.
Teacher: “Great!! Can we start? Choose a number”
Group A: 3
Teacher: “Ok. You have two pictures there. What would you ask?”
Group: “What are your hobbies?
Teacher: “Excellent! My hobbies are listening to music and riding a bike. Now, any other possible
question for these same pictures?”
If the group is not able to ask another question, I will ask the other groups for help:

7. Instituto de Formación Docente Continua Lenguas Vivas Bariloche
“Who can help them?”
Group B: “What do you do in your free time?”
Teacher: “Very good!”
I will follow the same procedure with the rest of the groups”.
Transition: “A job well done! You know a lot about me, and now I would like to know more about you!”
Activity 2: 12´
I will call each student and I will ask some questions to each of them. For example:
“Jordan, what is your favourite colour?
Student: “My favourite colour is (blue).”
Teacher: “What do you do in your free time?”
Jordan: “I (play football)”
Teacher: “Fantastic! Now…Maximiliano, Who is your favourite artist?
I will explain to the whole class what we mean by artist. It could be a singer, a writer, a dancer,
among other.
“Do you know what I mean by artist? An artist could be a singer, a dancer, a football player, a
writer”.
Maximiliano: “My favourite artist is …”.
Note: I will ask this last question to most of them on purpose, just in case I need to know their likes
for a future lesson (for instance, in case I have to choose a song or a reading passage).
I will try to ask two questions to each student. If I see that I run out of time, I will ask only one.
Everything will depend on the time each student takes to answer the questions.

Students: “Goodbye”.
