Teaching approach: “Communicative approach” and PPP Method.

Integration of skills: Reading and writing skills will be integrated through answering some questions about job interviews, and writing a letter of application for a job. Listening and speaking will be integrated through students’ interaction with the peers and teacher.

Materials and resources: Audio, copies, interview, poster with letter of application, computer, CD player, marker, board, dice and masking tape.

Pedagogical use of ICT in the class: Students will write a letter of application for a job on their computers.

Seating arrangement: Students will work at the tables situated in rows facing the board. At a same table three or four students may work together.

Cooperative work: Learners will play a game in groups to promote interaction among them. Then, they will work in pairs to exchange ideas and answer some questions.

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

Some students may tend to use Spanish to refer to unknown words, so I will help them by providing them with the equivalent in English

Potential problems students may have with the language

Some students may not remember some new items; I will use different strategies to help them, such as miming, acting and will also encourage them to use their online dictionaries.

Assessment: Echoing will be used to check students’ listening comprehension. I will ask some oral questions to know if learners understand the listening and if they remember the new lexis.

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 Tomi, Can you help me?” I will encourage students to spell the date to help him to copy it.

Warm-up (15’ minutes) I will explain to students that we will play a dice game. I will divide the class into two different teams. In turns, students will take a word from a bag, then they will throw the dice, and they will have to do what the dice says, their team will have to guess the word to win a point. Words: pilot, doctor, teacher, web designer, firefighter, secretary, accountant, journalist, vet, singer, actor, police officer, dentist, psychologist, mechanic and shop manager.1- Define the word2- Act it out3- Draw it 4- Use it in a sentence5- Name a famous person6- Choose an option

Presentation (10’ minutes)

I’ll say to students “I was reading a magazine and I found an interview to a boy called Jeff. He works as a tour guide. Let’s read the interview” We will read the

article aloud, and then I will ask students to work in pairs to discuss and answer the following questions about the interview. (Article adapted from the book Energy 4 by Steve Elsworth. Ed. Pearson). We will check the activity orally.

Can you help me to label it please?” I will stick the slips of paper on the board and I will encourage students to stand up and label the letter. We will check all together.
