REPORT

This lesson is for 55 minutes. This lesson integrates the 4 language skills: reading
and writing in the workshop, then listening and speaking in the oral activity.
Students will practice the following sub skills scan, spelling, structure, oral
comprehension, fluency and pronunciation. Theoretical information and workshop
will be quite exploited in the activities where it is essential to apply them.
I have chosen this material, because English 4 is an essential intermediate level
and is necessary to focus on not so complex topics like present continuous, this
topic is not so complex and it is important to practice and reinforced it; in order to
introduce and develop new and similar topics with regards to grammar, like past
continuous. An appropriated way to make learning more natural is doing oral and
dynamic activities.
I chose these two activities (workshop and oral activity) with the purpose to
practice the 4 language skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking) because it is
basic topic that let them act naturally.
Scan, spelling and structure are well applied when learners make sentences and
have to develop a text. Oral comprehension is used when the classmate speaks in
the activity fluency and pronunciation are employed when the learners describe
actions in present continuous.
