Riadh KOUBAA Level 2: Face 2 face Lesson Plans School Year: 2010-2011
Introductory Lesson:
Welcome to the Class
1) Vocabulary Phrases –
a. Greetings and Salutations:
Show the students the video (001 Greetings 1 Vocab - Phrases - English Meeting ESL Lesson)
and teach them the different ways to greet each others. Write these phrases on the board and
students have to write them on the copybooks.
b. Answers to what’s up / what’s going?
Then, show them the video (Answers to what’s up). Here they are going to learn how to answer the
questions what’s up and other phrases.
After teaching greeting, ask them to write a short conversation using these phrases and to practise it.
Then, ask them to pick up a piece of paper and answer the questions. Here, I want the students to
respond quickly. The quicker they speak, the more fluent they are. Repeat this activity until they speak
fluent and fast. Ask them to use different answers.
Ask the students the make up a dialogue where they use these expressions then practice it.
o Audio Activity: Students will listen to some greetings and they have to answer these
questions fast to improve their listening skills.
2) The Alphabet: (4a. Audio - R 0.3)
a. Before teaching the alphabet, tell them its importance in everyday life. The importance of the
alphabet is communication. They need it when it comes to spelling out a name or place… when
talking on the phone, when writing something, so, you ask for spelling.
b. To teach the alphabet, first of all, ask the students to draw a table. Then, tell them that they are going
to listen to the alphabet and to write the letters having the same sound as the colors.
Grey Green Red White Yellow Blue Black
(ei) (i:) (e) (ai) (u:) (a:)
A–H B–C–D–E F–L–M–
I–Y O Q–U–W R
J–K G–P–T–V–Z N–S–X–
NB: Each time, they listen and write the letter in the column having the same sounds.
c. Ask the students to spell their names and other words that you give.
d. Learning to Listen Activities:
Who is Who: This activity would help students differentiate between 2 letters.
Checking Names: Students would correct the spelling of the students’ names.
e. Let’s Talk Activities:
Activity One: You will hear a conversation. Complete the chart with a partner. Be creative.
Activity Two: Complete the information.
3) Getting Started:
a. Activity One: Students have to work alone. They check sometimes, often or never. Then, the student
compares his answer with his classmates using (how about you?) expression. It’s a good activity for
communication.
Highlight the use of SOMETIMES, OFTEN, and NEVER. They are before the verb. Write the rule
on the board (adverb + verb).
b. Activity Two: Before doing the activity on the book, tell them how they can ask you about if they don’t
understand something or how to pronounce a word, you have the list on page (2). If they don’t know, just
do the activity with the students.
For example, tell them what is the question that you should ask if you don’t know how to
pronounce a word?
1. The Question is: How do we pronounce this word?
