Description
In this lesson, students will learn about phrasal verbs in the context of unexpected traveling. At the end of the lesson, they will have learnt new vocabulary such as, 'gave us a lift, ages.'
Main Aims
To provide clarification of travel situations using phrasal verbs
Sub Aims
To provide specific information listening practice using a text about a couple unexpectedly travelling and practicing speaking using phrasal verbs 'get a lift, get stuck.'
Background
Class Profile
The students in this intermediate group are a mix of females and males aged between 25 and 60 years old. They are mostly under the age of 30 who are studying at University and are on
their summer break at the moment. They are mostly Turkish with one Iranian and two Russian students. The learners are very talkative and energetic and they don't shy away from new
tasks and activities.
Assumptions
I assume that the Ss are already familiar with multi-words as the last unit they studied in class was 8.1. The unit focused on some phrases such as: 'give up, get rid of' so it's a good
scaffold for my lesson's main idea; phrasal verbs.
Personal Aims
In this lesson I will try to make the FB shorter. I hope to give clearer and shorter instructions too. I'd like to be more organized about my stages and less nervous about what is coming
next.
Timetable Fit
As mentioned in my assumptions, the previous lesson was on multi-words describing objects which is a good lead-in to my topic: phrasal verbs for travel situations. The lesson after mine
will be a grammar lesson on Modals of deduction and speculation (must be, might be, could be) which is coherent with the topic travel as the focus will be on sentences such as: 'The
train must go from here, there could be one further along.'
