Skills Lesson: Language analysis

Examples of vocabulary/chunks to be pre-taught (in a sentence):

When I was looking for a job, I went to the employment agency.

I need an assistant to help me with the work.

The recruitment manager is going to help Jean Luc find an assistant.

Did you have a nanny when you were little?

Are you good with computers? So are you suitable to be an I.T manager?



Meaning:

*Employment agency is an agency that finds employers or employees for those who are looking for them.

*A recruitment manager is responsible for recruiting new people.

*An assistant is someone who helps a manager with some tasks.

* Something that is suitable is something appropriate for a particular person.

assistant


suitable

Form:

How will you convey meaning?

I will convey meaning through pictures. If students are unable to guess the meaning I will provide
situations to help them guess.

(employment agency)
When you graduate and have a degree, how do you find a job? Who can help you find the job?

(recruitment manager)
In every agency or company, there is someone responsible for hiring new people. How do we call that
person?

I cant speak Geman. But there is a vacancy in Bourguiba School for a teacher of German. Do you think I
should apply? (suitable)

Boardwork plan

1.

Projection of pictures to elicit/ pre-teach vocab

Writing the new words words ( eliciting form and pronunciation)



Anticipated problems / solutions (linguistic):

Problem: Students might not know the meaning of ski resort, remote, child minder, running the reception. But I
cant overload them with vocabulary in the pre-teaching stage.

Solution: I will first test how much they know and if they can guess meaning from the context and then C.C.Q. in
the later feedback stages

Problem: Some students might be reluctant to speak. Also, others might dominate in the group.
Solution: I have tried to set the task in a way as to leave everyone the opportunity to participate in the discussion.

Problem: One group might finish the controlled speaking earlier than the rest and start diverging from the focus of
the activity.
Solution: Ask the group to prepare what theyre going to say in front of the class

Anticipated problems / solutions (organisational and individual):

Problem: Number of students might not be suitable with the seating arrangement I have devised for the speaking
task.
Solution: Ask weak students to do the task together instead of individually and take turns when speaking.

Problem: Reading task might take longer than planned.

Solution: Let the students work in groups to accelerate the pace. Also, it would be a good idea to try and stick to
the allotted time for each activity.

choose?

Introduce target language necessary for this
stage of the speaking task.



Groups choose a team-name and a team-
leader. The team leader manages the
discussion in the group and has the final
decision on who, the group thinks, is the
best candidate and second best candidate
for the job.

Each team leader hangs their chosen
candidate on the board and tells the class
why they chose this particular candidate.
