- To be able to pick up details from the fast-paced real-life by answering details questions       on a worksheet

- To practice speaking by discussing with group members

Language Skills:

- Reading : vocabulary worksheet

- Listening : the speaker's short speech about sports and what kind of sport they're                           speaking

- Speaking : prediction, comparing answers within groups

- Writing : details(dictation), writing about sports

Language Systems:

- Lexis : vocabularies used in describing several sports

- Function : Ask and answer what kind of sport we like

- Grammar : comparative and superlatives

Assumption:

Students already know:

- how the class is set up and run (there will be 4 students grouped at each table)

- the teacher's style of teaching and all the pace of the course

- all students are middle school students (Age 14~16)

- most students have ever watched sport games

Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

- Students may not be able to follow the passage easily

→ Follow the task-feedback circle: let them listen to the tracks again until they get the             gist of the content

- Students may not be able to pick up details from the listening

→ Chunk the listening (pause - play - pause - play)

- Students may need more time to work on the worksheet

→ If it takes longer than 5 minutes, cut answer-checking short by verbally sharing the             answers instead of having students write them on the board

- If the students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated

→ Ask as many students as possible about some sports, their experiences and whether            they like it or not.

* Script

Number 1

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the other team, which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

Number 2

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by placing a ball through a 10 feet high hoop under organized rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world.

Points are scored by throwing the ball through the basket from above; the team with more points at the end of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact is penalized and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled.

Number 3

American football, known in the United States and Canada simply as football  is a competitive team sport known for combining strategy with physical play. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by carrying it or by throwing it to a teammate. Points can be scored in a variety of ways, including carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line, kicking the ball through the goal posts at the opponent's end zone, or tackling an opposing ball carrier within his end zone. The winner is the team with the most points when the time expires.

Number 4

Game played by two teams of six players each, in which an inflated ball is volleyed over a high net. Each team tries to make the ball touch the court within the opposing side's playing areas before it can be returned. A team is allowed to touch the ball three times before returning it. The team that first scores 25 points wins the game. Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan in Holyoke, Mass. It soon proved to have wide appeal for both sexes in schools, playgrounds, the armed forces, and other settings. International competition began in 1913, and volleyball became an Olympic sport in 1964. Beach volleyball, a variation with two players on a side, has grown increasingly popular and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
