 Teaching Approach: The lesson is based on the Natural Approach, and
organized trough the PPP procedure (Harmer, 2010).
 Materials and Resources: pictures about the different pets made on cardboard
with different colours. A Domino game about pets in a big piece of cardboard.
Video (pets song) –
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class: in this lesson, a video will be used to introduce
the pets and exposure of the students to the teaching point. Activities organised
through the use of audiovisual materials enhances language learning and
acquisition.
 Seating arrangement: students will be sitting in a circle on the floor in order to
facilitate visual contact and interaction within the group. At some points in the
lesson, they’ll move around the class.
 Possible problems /difficulties and their possible solutions during the
class: children may want to watch the video again, but the teacher will say that she
has a surprise for them.
 Potential problems students may have with the language: students may
find it hard to produce the chunk ‘it’s a dog…’ however, the teacher will try to
encourage them. If they can’t do it or don’t understand, they may use: dog…cat…
 Assessment: what will be assessed and how: the teacher will check students’
comprehension by miming, doing gestures and watching if they perform the actions
or not. Encourage them to produce the new vocabulary. If they get shy, the teacher
will check they can recognize the items by saying (showing a picture about the
topic) is it a square? To sts answer just ‘yes – no’.
