Teaching approach: “Communicative Approach” and PPP method.
Integration of skills: An audio about local business and charity will be used to
expose students to the target language. Students will integrate their listening
and speaking skills by discussing about the audio. Listening and writing will be
integrated by completing some activities related to the same audio.
Materials and resources: pieces of paper with famous people names, masking
tape, marker, board, music, candies, audio, article, dictionaries, photocopies,
poster with tips, CV templates.
Pedagogical use of ICT in the class: An audio will be played on the CD player to
expose students to the target language. Students will also use their online
dictionaries to search the unknown vocabulary. However, I will have
dictionaries in case that the Internet won’t work.
Seating arrangement: Students will be sitting down at the tables situated in
rows facing the board. At the same table three or four students may work
together.
Cooperative work: There will be a game to exchange information and promote
interaction among students.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
3. Some students may be a bit disruptive so I’ll write the word “homework” on the
board; they know that if I have to clean the whole word they’ll have an extra
homework.
Potential problems students may have with the language
Some students may find it difficult to understand certain words to complete the
CV, I’ll monitor them to provide them with the possible explanations. I will also
encourage them to use their online dictionaries.
Assessment: Understanding and identification of new vocabulary will be
assessed by asking some individual questions. Echoing will be used to check
their listening comprehension.
Procedure:
Routine (2’ minutes)
As this class starts very early in the morning I’ll wait for my students playing
some music, I will give each of them a candy. Then, I will say “I need some
help to write the date on the board, please Ivo, Can you help me?” I will
encourage students to spell the date to help him to copy it.
Warm-up (12’ minutes)
We will start our class playing a game called “Got it”. I will explain to
students that I’ll stick a piece of paper with a famous person’s name on their
foreheads, they won’t read it. They’ll have to ask questions to their friends
to guess it. If they guess their name they’ll have to stand up on a chair and
shout “Got it”. I’ll demonstrate the activity, for example I will ask them “Am I
a boy? Am I a girl? Am I a singer? Am I an actor? Am I from Argentina? Am I
4. a football player? Am I a model? Am I a cook? Am I Shakira?” Students will
start playing but they will ask ONLY 1 or 2 questions to each classmate.

Presentation (8’ minutes)
“Awesome! It was funny! Yesterday I was having a conversation with a
friend that works as a journalist, and she told me about a boy called Johnny,
he is a student at the Withfield School and he started with a campaign. Have
you ever participated in a campaign or charity? Do you know the meaning of
charity? It means to give money or things to people that need it, for example
to give clothes to a poor boy. Would you like to know about his campaign? I
brought you an article about him. Please Vivi, can you hand out the
photocopies? Thanks… Where would you see this text? Let’s read it” I will
ask students to answer “What’s the important news? And why did the
Council change its mind?” Students will share their answers orally. “Delfi,
what’s the important news? What will happen to the Youth Centre? Yes, it’s
going to re-open. Great! And tell me, why did the Council change its mind?
Yes, because local business and charity will help with the finances”.

dialogue in order?” I will hand out the dialogue and I encourage them to put
the dialogue in order. Students will listen to the dialogue to put it in order,
