1. MDD 2: Learning goals
Lesson 1
Learning goals: What we expected at the end of the first lesson was that students would be able to
describe the weather orally, answering the questions what’s the weather like? using for this
purpose the structure formed by subject + verb to be + adjective; the main focus in this part was
creating an awareness of the contraction it’s in order to avoid the drop of the subject .At the same
time, we expected that students would acquire a variety of 10 adjectives to describe the weather,
and link these words with their respective noun, such as rainy/rain.
The contents seen in this lesson plan which were aligned with the English I syllabus were the
following:
 Communicative functions:
o Describir tiempo atmosférico
 Thematic content:
o Condiciones climáticas
 Grammar content
o Presente simple
Lesson 2
Learning goals: We expected in the second lesson that students would be able to invite somebody
to an interesting place, and give an answer accepting or refusing, orally. In order to reach this goal
we taught 5 different expressions to invite, 5 to accept and 5 to refuse an invitation; the last one
included the use of present continuous for excuses. An example of this interchange is the
following.
-Why don’t we go to the cinema at 8 o’clock?
-I’m sorry, but I’m studying English at that time.
The focus in this opportunity was the use of the modal would in the structure would + subject +
like + infinitive verb and the pronunciation of would in isolation and the contraction I’d. As the
main purpose of our tutorials was speaking, we expected a development of fluency through oral
controlled exercises and a freer production, which consists of arrange a meeting according to a
schedule.

about different daily situations, remembering the contents seen during their previous lessons. This
class was planned in order to practise their speaking skill before the oral exam, for this reason the
focus was not in a particular structure, but distributing the time equally among all the contents
covered. The main aim for this plan was the development of fluency and pronunciation, creating
many opportunities and a safe environment for the practice.
