 Learning aims or goals:
During this lesson, learners will be able to:
√ Develop their speaking skills giving prominence to the words that convey meaning. For
example, heave UP PORT FORE anchor.
√ Develop their reading skills through the use of the active learning approach by associating
vocabulary to orders at the anchor, helm and speeds.
√ Develop their critical thinking skills by performing mental activities to infer and clarify meaning
√ Develop their listening skills by answering to orders in different parts of the vessel.
 Teaching points:
√ Revision of vocabulary and jargon related to the front and back of the vessel.
√ Use of the vocabulary leant to make real sentences (orders) used during work on the ship.

 Language focus:

Speeds (full, half, slow,
knots)
Commands and
orders.
Drop/Let go
Heave up
Full, Half, Slow
Prominence and
Intonation in
discourse that
accompanies
signal words
 Teaching approach:
Content Based Learning
 Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
In this lesson plan, the four skills are integrated through teacher´s speech and students
interaction using the topic.
 Materials and resources:
Board, colour markers, microphone (because of the quantity of learners teachers have to use
microphones to be heard properly), mobile phones
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home:
No use of ICT in this class. Learners will use their mobile phones to surf the net and find out
the difference between kilometres and knots.
 Seating arrangement:

Students will be seated in pairs and will work alone or with their partner according to the
exercise given. In pairs, ss can help each other and be cooperative and exchange ideas. Due to
the learning background differences among students, cooperative learning is necessary.
 Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
Students always face problems remembering new vocabulary. To help my learners with this, I
give them some tips, ideas and techniques (such as the use of post-its, coloured markers,
glossaries, etc) that they are allowed to use and consult in class.
 Classroom management strategies:
Students in my class are free to seat wherever they want, learners who need more attention
from the teacher usually choose to sit on the front so I can help them when they need assistance.
It´s their choice, they feel more comfortable being ´close´ and helps them build their self-
esteem.
I always motivate them to participate and tell them that errors are welcome, this is what learning
is about.
 Assessment:
Assessment will be done by watching learners working during the whole lesson and during the
completion of the exercises and pair work (monitoring the class), plus answering questions and
echoing new vocabulary to check and assess pronunciation.

Comentado [cp1]: A couple of learners take more time
than the others to perform the tasks and assignments given.

(because, unfortunately, they feel more comfortable) and
then they complete the task at home and I correct it the
following day downstairs a few minutes before they begin
classes.
Sometimes we talk via skype as every Saturday from 9 to 11
my learners know I am available and they can contact me on-
line to answer questions and clarify doubts)

Transition:
Last Friday with the Conocimiento del Buque Merantes´ teacher, students visited ´Tandanor´
which is the second biggest shipyard in the world. There, they were able to see ships that were
out of water and they could see the legendary Icebreaker A.R.A. “Almirante Irizar” now repaired.
Let´s watch a video and tell me what you can see.
Presentation: (3´)
Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZm5o-MIVYc
During the video I will ask my learners:
Where is it?
What ship is this?
I expect them to recognize Tandanor and the Almirante Irizar Icebreaker.
Activity 2: (6´)
I will show learners a picture with description of the Almirante Irizar Icebreaker.
And say: Look at this description. And I will read it aloud. Where it says research I will add
investigations to clarify the new word and using the picture I will name each part of the ship
and show learners the parts in the picture.
The Almirante Irizar was designed to supply Argentinian research stations in the
Antarctic.
Dimensions: Length overall: 398 feet; Breadth 25 metres; Draught 9.5 metres; Air

Speed, open water 16.5 knots.

Then, I will show them the parts of the ship again (breadth, draught, height and length) and
wait for them to recognize and repeat them.
Once they have noticed length overall, I will say: Can you see that the length of the ship is in
feet? Do you know what is a feet? And I will show them my feet.
I expect them to recognize my feet. Then I will say: Take your phones, open google and write
feet to centimetres and tell me the conversion.

I will make learners work in pairs and ask them to ask and answer the questions given for
homework. Then, I will ask learners the questions randomly trying to give each learner space
to answer. I will clarify doubts if necessary.
I will congratulate them and thank them for sharing their answers
Warm up and Brainstorming: (8´)
Tch: So, as soon as we arrive to the port we should give the operator some information, i.e. we
have to identify the ship and… What else should we do? What about the crew?
Ss will answer ´personal information´
Tch: What kind of information?
Ss: name, nationality, call sign, identification (ID), name of the vessel, flag state, destination.
Tch: Great! I will repeat the words to check pronunciation and add the ones that may not be
named. I will copy all the words on the board.
Tch: Now, work in pairs. Using the ships you have chosen for homework imagine that one of
you is the Captain and the other is the operator. Ask and answer each other. For example:
I will say and write on the board. ´What´s your ID?´ 36.125.128
Got it? Is it clear? And wait for them to answer ´Yes´.
After 3– 4 minutes I will choose a student randomly and ask: What´s your call sign? And wait
for his answer.
I will ask each question to three or four students arbitrarily – and then ask one of the students
that is more anxious – and wait for them to answer.
I will continue asking
What´s your name / identification (ID)/ nationality / flag state / destination?
What´s the name of your vessel?
