 Teaching Approach: Communicative Approach
 Integration of Skills: The use of a magazine article helps to the integration of
reading and speaking skills and it fosters interaction among students and with the
teacher
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class: visual aids and interactive games will be used
to support the presentation and the exposure of students to the new topic.
 Materials: worksheets with exercises for each student, board, marker and
flashcards related to the topic. Projector. Computer.
 Seating arrangement: depending on the type of activity, the Ss will be sitting in
pairs in order to feel comfortable or in groups of 4 or 5 students facilitating
interaction and discussions.
 Cooperative work: working in groups may help the students better interact and
communicate with one another in order to exchange ideas and opinions.
 Possible problems and possible solutions: the most important problem
could be timing. It is very difficult to calculate the time for each activity since each

3. group is different and works at a different pace. Perhaps, if there are students who
finish early, the teacher can give them any other dynamic activity or game up to the
moment the rest could finish their tasks.
 Assessment: The assessment will imply self-assessment in connection with
learner training and learner autonomy which means that the students may be
encouraged to monitor and check their own progress.
 Routine (1 minute)
