• Teaching approach: Natural approach- Presentation, practice, production.
• Materials and resources: flashcards, hello and goodbye songs, coloured pencils,
photocopies, a white board, notebook, glue.
• Pedagogical use of ICT in class: Audio material enriches language learning and
acquisition. There is no instance of ICT in the lesson.
• Seating arrangement: At the beginning of the lesson students listen to the song and
use body movements. Then, students work in their seats.
• Cooperative work: Students work as a class and then individually. There is no instance
of cooperative work.
• Possible problems/difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: students
may get excited because everyone wants to participate so the teacher will say a chant
to ask students to be quiet so that everybody can participate:
“Put your finger on your lip like this shhhhhh!
Put your finger on your lip like this shhhhhhh!
Put your finger on your lip close your mouth with a zip, put your finger on your lip like
this shhhh! shhhh!

• Potential problems students may have with the language: They confuse the colours
because they do not recognize them yet. So I will point at the correct picture so that
they can self-check and correct. Students do not understand all the instructions
because they started with the language course in April.
• Assessment what will be assessed and how: I will pay attention to students’
participation asking questions to all them. Also, the use of the language is important. I
will repeat the correct intonation, instructions and the structure with the aim they
repeat and pay special attention to these.
• Skills integration: listening, speaking and writing will be integrated in this lesson.

Aims: To activate students’ prior knowledge, revise the vocabulary learned during the

provide a clear context. You may tell students that on April 29 we
celebrated Animals` Day, so you`ll be working with animals, for
example. You may show a picture of the habitat where these
animals live, so as to activate their schemata as well.

Observations
Good job, Majo! You have chosen very attractive visual aids, and you have also
respected the group`s routines. ☺
Pay attention to the comments I have made. Try to provide a cohesive context.
Reflect upon the writing task – I wonder if there is something I could not grasp
from the image you included here, but I cannot find there is much for them to do
there. Remember to use L2 as much as possible.
Hope my feedback is useful. If you have any queries, let me know.
Enjoy the lesson!
