 Teaching approach: Communicative approach and Multiple intelligence.
The theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are a number of distinct forms
of intelligence that each individual possesses in varying degrees. Gardner proposes
seven primary forms: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-
kinesthetic, intrapersonal (e.g., insight, metacognition) and interpersonal (e.g., social
skills).This School is founded upon this theory.
 Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
Speaking and listening skills are integrated, through different activities. Writing and
reading the students are invited to complete charts and write about what can they do.
 Materials and resources: CD - pictures - computer- photocopies - poster -markers
-
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: I will use the computer to
reproduce the songs and video
 Seating arrangement: The group will be sitting on the chairs. Children will play
and move into the classroom.
 Assessment: what will be assessed and how :
I will check that they understand the new target language through singing songs
and getting the students to talk about what can they do? Grammar and vocabulary will
be assessed through writing activities and games.
Purpose and warm up: (15 minutes) To start the lesson, get students into the
mood for work, establish rapport.
