 Information about the language to be used:
 Vocabulary: movies, types of movies, entertainment
 Grammar: modals of possibility, obligation, permission and prohibition
 Communicative areas: talking about their movie preferences
Skills: Speaking, Reading, Writing, Listening
Assumed knowledge: Ss have already studied/heard about various types of movies and TV shows and
studied modals of possibility, obligation, permission and prohibition
Students’ problems:
I anticipate that the following may cause problems:
 Ss. may find it difficult to pronounce some words in English;
 Ss. may have difficulties in using the English language to express themselves, or when speaking;

 Personality clash - Solution: T rearranges the groups/pairs

 Some Ss might not be interested in the topic - Solution: T uses mime, body movements, jokes
 Some Ss might have problems with commands - Solution: explanations given in L1

Class management: Ss work: in pairs, as individuals

Dealing with mistakes:

Accuracy: 1. Ss correction – self correction
2. if 1 doesn’t work – peer correction
3. if 1&2 don’t work – T provides the correct answer and will probably revise the teaching
problems
Fluency: T doesn’t intervene in the activity to correct the mistakes not break Ss’ communication. T can put
down notes and deal with them the next time.

Teaching methods:
- the audio-lingual approach
-the audio-visual approach
-the communicative approach
-the natural approach

Teaching techniques:
- individual repetition
- choral repetition
- game
- eliciting; point and say;
