Name: David McFarlane

Date: 23/09/10
Teaching Practice: Listening: List the things that make you feel...
Week: 2
Level: Int/Hi Int
Lesson length: 20 mins
Overall aim of 2-hour lesson:

• Aims of lesson (e.g. to present and give controlled practice of the past simple for finished past actions):
To introduce vocabulary for 'things that make you feel...' and practise use of the correct sequence

• Aims for students (e.g. At the end of this lesson the students will be able to …..):
use vocabulary in relation to own experiences
Listen and then isolate which recording goes with which phrase
Discuss with partner own feelings

• Personal aims (e.g. to improve my instructions today):

To improve SSS interaction and less TTT
To improve time-keeping for lesson and not over-run

• Assumptions (e.g. The students (ss) are already familiar with the vocabulary in the lesson.):
Students understand the meaning of words/phrases as introduced

Anticipated problems and solutions (skill-based lessons):

• Form:

• Meaning:

• Pronunciation:

• Other: (e.g. Instructions for game are complex so I will demo it, rather than explain it.// Students may find tape difficult so I will
break up the listening.)
Students will need to be guided through listening exercise and then checked that they understand what is required
