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.

 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.

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?
