Teaching approach: “communicative approach” and PPP method.

Integration of skills: Speaking and listening skills will be integrated by showing them a video and talking about it. Writing and reading skills will be integrated by reading an article about odd jobs and answering some questions about it. Students will be also asked to produce their own articles about odd jobs.

Materials and resources: bingo templates, poster with jobs, board, computers, projector, video, photocopies, markers, article, poster with adjectives)

Pedagogical use of ICT in the class: A video will be used to expose students to authentic material, and to integrate listening and speaking skills. I’ll download the video into my computer and I will use a projector to play the video.

Seating arrangement: Students will be sitting down facing the board; they will work at the tables situated in rows.

Cooperative work: There will be a bingo game, a video about a talented man; students will share their opinion about it to promote interaction among them.

Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:

Students may tend to speak in their mother tongue, I will promote the use of the target language, I will have the Spanish card in case that they speak Spanish. If students do not how to say a word in English I will encourage the use of their online dictionary.

Potential problems students may have with the language

Some students may find it difficult to express their opinion in English so I will provide them with the necessary vocabulary to express their opinion. I will also help them by providing them with hints and I’ll mime the vocabulary and instructions for them to understand the unknown words.

Assessment: The comprehension of the new words will be assessed by making them some oral questions. I will also assess them through the written activities.

Procedure : Routine (2´minutes)

I’ll get into the class, and I’ll say “Hello, how are you today? I need some help to write the date on the board” Please Silvi, Can you help me?” I will encourage students to spell the date to help her to copy it.

Warm-up (13’ minutes)

I’ll explain to students that we will play bingo, but it will be different since they will have to listen to the jobs’ description and they will have to circle the

correct profession. “I would like to start this class playing a game. Do you like playing bingo? Well… I brought you some bingo templates but they are empty, so you will have to look at the poster that is displayed on the board and complete it using some of the words that are on the poster. Do you understand? What do you have to do? Great, you have to complete the bingo template. I will play some music, and you will have two minutes to complete it. Are you ready? Let’s do it!” Students will complete the bingo templates, and then I’ll start reading the jobs’ descriptions for them to circle the jobs.

Development Activity 1 (10’ minutes)

“Way to go! You know that while I was watching the video I listened to some adjectives, I wrote them down. But I don’t know if they were used to describe Steven’s performances or to describe the judges. Can you help me?” I will encourage students to copy the date and the title “Britain’s got talent” in their copybooks. I will explain to them that they will have to copy the following chart on their copybooks too, and they will have to write the adjectives in the correct place. I will encourage them to use their online dictionaries to look up the words that they may not know. We will check students’ answers on the board.

Words: dazzled –exciting- amused -surprising –amazed- unbelievable- speechless- impressed –entertaining- exhilarating surprised- dynamic

Steven’s performance was… The judges were…

(dynamic- exciting- entertaining- (dazzled-amused-amazed- Speechless- impressed- surprised)Exhilarating- surprising- unbelievable)

Activity 2 (10’minutes)

“Well, what do you think about Steven’s talent? Was it strange? And he is a telecommunication engineer, but his talent is stranger than his job… I showed the video to a friend and she told me about an article that she read about strange jobs. So, I searched the article on the web, and guess what! I brought you the article since I think that you would like it, let’s have a look at the pictures, and tell me: Which of the two jobs is dangerous? Which of the jobs requires physical activity? Which of the jobs is boring? Which of the jobs is very well-paid? Awesome, let’s read the article!

The article was taken from the book Choices by Pearson. I will encourage some confident students to read the article aloud. Then, I will ask them some comprehension questions. Finally, students will work in pairs to

answer the questions about the article. “Wow! Are these jobs strange? Would you like to have a work as these? Why? Great, now you’ll work in pairs to answer the following questions about the article”. We will check the answers orally.Answer the following questions.

1- When did Jane start to work as a furniture tester? ( She started last year)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2- What does Jane do? (She tests furniture)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3- Does Jane like her job? Why? (No, she doesn’t because she thinks it’s boring)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4- What is Ross job? (Job is a snake milker)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

5- How does he get the venom out of the snake? (You hold the snake by the head and press the venom glands behind the snake’s eyes)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6- Where is the venom taken to produce anti-venom? (The venom is taken to a laboratory)

Activity 3 (15’ minutes) “Well done! Now tell me, what is the most unusual job you know? Discuss the question in pairs, then I will ask you to share your answer orally” I will ask students to think about an unusual job, and then I’ll explain to them that they will have to create an article about this job. “Great, now you will continue working in pairs to design an article about an unusual job. Imagine

that one of you is the professional and one of you is the interviewer. You will have to write an article including the following things: - A picture of the job.-Some questions to the professional (How long have you been working as …? What do you do? Do you like your job? Why? Are you planning to do this job for the rest of your life? Etc)” I will write the information they must include on the board. When students finish writing their articles I will encourage them to read them aloud. I will walk around the class to provide them with the possible help they will need and to assess them. Students will work on their computers.

Activity 4 (5’minutes) In order to finish the class with a nice atmosphere, we will play hangman game using jobs vocabulary to revise spelling and vocabulary.Words: (architect- accountant) Homework and Closure (5’ minutes) “Oops it’s very late, as homework you will have to interview a friend.

Awesome, let’s put everything away because the bell will ring pretty soon. See you next class”
