Recognition of the sound

• Teaching approach: I’ll use the Communicative Approach

• Materials and resources: • Farm animals flashcards, cd player, audio

material (songs and chants), paper bag puppets (students´production), mp3

audio and mp4 from “Old Macdonald Had a Farm” video taken from

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbToB-yjAm8

• Seating arrangement: Children will be standing to sing the song and sitting

on their chairs at their tables for the oral activities. We will sit on the floor and

make a circle to pre-teach song vocabulary.

• Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the

class: Children may have forgotten the vocabulary and get bored easily,

leading to disruptive behaviour. Using chants, I ll re-focus students ´attention by

singing “head and shoulders” song

• Potential problems students may have with the language: Children may

lose interest on the lesson. I will help them re-focus by making them participate

or by asking them to help me explain/ model as my secretary.

• Assessment: I ll check students’ comprehension through their participation. If

I notice they do not understand, I ll mime, model the language or ask a partner

to model the activity.

• Use of ICT: I will project a video from my laptop to help learners visualize

content.

• Integrating skills: Students will integrate skills through the different tasks,

such as listening to the song and then working the content orally. Speaking will

be foster in the presentation skills leading to listening and doing.

Routine: 5’

I’ll get into the classroom and greet students:

“Hello!, how are you today?” “Let´s sing the Hello song”. As the students know

the song, they will listen, sing, mime and dance. I will play the cd:

Hello, hello, good morning

How are you today?

Hello, hello, good morning

How are you today?

I am fine, I am fine

I´m very well today

I am fine, I am fine

I´m very well today

Hello, hello, good afternoon

How are you today?

Hello, hello, good afternoon

How are you today?

I am fine, I am fine

I´m very well today

I am fine, I am fine

I´m very well today

farm.

tiger mask to surprise students while they are singing and introduce the new

element in the song.
