Grammar Lesson Plan

Topic: What are these people doing?

Instructor: James/Raina	Level: Intermediate	Students: 12	Length: 35 mins

Materials:

worksheet#1#2 (12 copies), worksheet#3#4 (12 copies), white board, markers.

Aims:

Students will be able to apply a specific grammar structure to real life by drilling and            role-playing in pairs.

Students will describe people doing different actions by using present progressive form.

I want students to be confident in real communication through practices.

Language Skills:

Listening: Teacher's drilling and other students' presentations.

Speaking: Describing real situations in pairs and groups by using present progressive form.

Reading: Reading controlled worksheet alone and less controlled one in pairs.

Writing: Writing students' own dialogues.

Language Systems:

Phonology: Pronounce the basic form of verbs with ing-form.                                    Lexis: Verbs used in describing actions (play, study, walk, eat etc.)                               Grammar: When and How to use present progressive form.                                      Function: Describing actions.                                                                   Discourse: Presentation.

Assumptions:

Students already know

what the present progressive means and when to use it.

some action verbs to describe people and things.

Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

If students cannot think of any verbs to describe,

I will encourage them to find its meaning by giving relatively easy synonym

(or provide them with its definition).

If students still don't understand present progressive form,

I will help them by giving more examples through drilling.

If some students have any difficulty working on worksheets,

I will give them some time to think while moving on to other students.
