I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to identify the four parts of a spoken contribution: a position, a concrete example, an acknowledged limitation and an invitation to respond.
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to place sentence stress on information-bearing and contrastive words to change meaning and improve rhythm.
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to use three-word phrasal verbs (look forward to, keep up with, come up with, put up with, etc.) with the object placed after the full expression.
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to develop and defend a viewpoint on career paths and respond to a partner's follow-up question.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss prepare their own notes on a career route and check their talk against the four-part model before speaking.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss take turns in pairs, ask a real follow-up question and respond politely and relevantly to their partner.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss compare realistic career routes for a personal interest and justify their choice with specific reasons and conditions.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and analyse the model, deliver a 1–2 minute talk and answer one follow-up question.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss stress key words in sentences, use the topic vocabulary (career path, mentor, transferable skill, qualification) and apply three-word phrasal verbs accurately.

3. Personal qualities

  • Honesty: Ss describe only real experiences, label illustrative examples as examples and never present an invented result as a fact.
  • Responsibility: Ss state the conditions of a career route, such as entry requirements and course recognition, and do not rely on outdated information.
  • Diligence: Ss rehearse their talk at least twice with a partner and correct their stress and phrasal verb use before the final presentation.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Career Paths Quick Talk

a) Aims

  • Activate Ss' prior knowledge about choosing a career.
  • Introduce the topic vocabulary of the lesson.

b) Content

  • Ss answer three questions shown on the slide: “What kind of job interests you?”, “Who can help you choose a career?”, “What should you check before choosing a career?”
  • Ss brainstorm factors to consider and note the words career path, mentor, qualification.

c) Expected outcomes

  • A class list of at least four factors, for example: daily duties, training requirements, costs, working conditions.
  • Ss can explain the meaning of career path (lộ trình nghề nghiệp), mentor (người hướng dẫn) and qualification (trình độ, bằng cấp).

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the three questions on the slide and says: “Before you choose a job, what do you need to check?” T gives Ss 30 seconds to think.

    Students

    Ss think silently and jot down one or two ideas in their notebooks.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to share ideas in pairs for one minute and circulates to help with vocabulary.

    Students

    Ss discuss in pairs. Expected answers: “the salary”, “how long the training takes”, “what I do every day”, “whether I like the people I work with”.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3–4 pairs to share and writes the factors on the board.

    Students

    Representatives report their ideas. Ss listen and add factors they have not thought of.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T groups the ideas into daily duties, training requirements, costs and working conditions, introduces the three vocabulary words and links them to today's topic: how to develop and defend a career viewpoint.

    Students

    Ss copy the key vocabulary into their notebooks and state today's objective.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Analysing the Speaking Model

a) Aims

  • Identify the structure of a well-developed spoken contribution.
  • Recognise how a position, an example, a limitation and an invitation work together.

b) Content

  • Ss read the model speaking text on the slide while T plays the recording or reads it aloud.
  • Ss complete Worksheet 1 by finding the position, the concrete example, the limitation and the invitation to respond.

c) Expected outcomes

  • Position: “Before choosing a path, I would compare daily duties, training requirements, costs and working conditions.”
  • Concrete example: “someone interested in science might consider analysis, teaching or technical maintenance”.
  • Limitation: “A mentor’s experience can help me ask better questions, but it is not a guarantee.”
  • Invitation: the follow-up question “Should you copy a mentor’s route?”, which the partner answers and then develops.
  • Ss can explain that the sentence “If a detail is missing, I should request it rather than use an old advertisement as if it were current” adds a concrete check to the opening.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: “Listen to the model and find four parts: position, example, limitation and invitation. Use Worksheet 1.”

    Students

    Ss receive Worksheet 1 and read the questions carefully.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the recording once, then lets Ss work individually for 2 minutes and check with a partner for 2 minutes. T walks around and checks whether Ss can distinguish an example from a limitation.

    Students

    Ss listen, underline the sentences in the model and write the answers on Worksheet 1. Ss may ask: “Is the mentor sentence a limitation?” T answers: “Look at the words but and not a guarantee.”

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: “Which sentence shows a limitation? Why is it useful to say this?”

    Students

    Expected answer: “A mentor’s experience can help me ask better questions, but it is not a guarantee. It is useful because the speaker is honest that advice from another person does not guarantee the same result.”

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and writes the structure on the board: Position – Example – Limitation – Invitation. T stresses that a good talk gives a viewpoint and supports it with specific details rather than only saying that the topic is important.

    Students

    Ss copy the four-part structure into their notebooks and tick the structure on their own notes.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 7 minutes

Sentence Stress and Rhythm

a) Aims

  • Recognise that stress falls on information-bearing and contrastive words.
  • Read sentences with natural rhythm and clear consonants.

b) Content

  • T writes two sentences on the board: “Choose a CAREER for YOUR reasons, not just for its TITLE.” and “I want to work WITH people, not merely near them.”
  • Ss mark the stressed words, clap the rhythm and repeat after T.

c) Expected outcomes

  • Stressed words: CAREER, YOUR, TITLE (contrast between reasons and title).
  • Stressed word in the second sentence: WITH (contrast with near).
  • Ss can explain that the stress changes the meaning of the sentence without changing its grammar.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the two sentences on the board and asks: “Which words carry the main meaning? Which words are in contrast?”

    Students

    Ss look at the sentences and think about which words are most important.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T models each sentence twice, first with flat stress and then with the correct stress, and asks Ss to tap the beats. Then Ss practise chorally and then in pairs.

    Students

    Ss mark the stressed words in pencil, clap the rhythm, then read the sentences aloud with a partner.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks one or two pairs to read aloud and asks the class: “Did the speaker stress the contrast words? Did the meaning change?”

    Students

    Expected answer: “Yes, the stress on CAREER and TITLE shows that reasons matter more than the job title.” Ss give feedback to their classmates.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T explains that main beats fall on information-bearing or contrastive words and that a slower, intelligible delivery is better than rushing unstressed words. T asks Ss to keep consonants clear and to group words into natural phrases.

    Students

    Ss note the rule in their notebooks and apply it in the next activity.

Activity 2.3: Knowledge formation · 6 minutes

Three-Word Phrasal Verbs in Context

a) Aims

  • Understand the meaning of seven three-word phrasal verbs.
  • Place the object correctly after the full expression.

b) Content

  • Ss match each phrasal verb with its meaning: look forward to, get on with, keep up with, come up with, put up with, look up to, run out of.
  • Ss look at the rule: an object normally follows the full expression, for example “keep up with it, not keep it up with”.

c) Expected outcomes

  • look forward to – anticipate
  • get on with – have a good relationship or continue
  • keep up with – stay at the same level
  • come up with – produce an idea
  • put up with – tolerate
  • look up to – admire
  • run out of – exhaust a supply
  • Correct form: “keep up with it”, not “keep it up with”.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the seven phrasal verbs on the slide and says: “Match each verb with its meaning. Then check the object position.”

    Students

    Ss copy the phrasal verbs into their notebooks and prepare to match them.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs for three minutes and checks the answers quickly. T gives one example sentence for each: “I look forward to meeting my mentor.”

    Students

    Ss match the meanings in pairs and write one short example sentence for two of the verbs, placing the object after the full expression.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on pairs to read their sentences aloud and asks: “Where does the object go?”

    Students

    Expected answers: “I can keep up with the course.” / “It is hard to put up with noise.” Ss confirm the object goes after the full expression.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the key and reminds Ss that “to” in look forward to is a preposition, so it is followed by a noun or a gerund (for example, look forward to working).

    Students

    Ss correct any mistakes in their notebooks and mark the phrasal verbs they will use in their own talk.

Activity 3: Practice · 8 minutes

Pair Check of Model Analysis

a) Aims

  • Apply the analysis of the model to new questions about purpose, details and summary.
  • Use only information in the model when answering.

b) Content

  • Pairs answer Exercises 2, 4 and 5 from the textbook.
  • Exercise 2: State the purpose and audience of the spoken contribution and support your answer with one detail.
  • Exercise 4: Select two useful details and explain why they are better than saying only that the topic is important.
  • Exercise 5: Write a three-sentence summary using only information in the model, keeping any essential condition or limit.

c) Expected outcomes

  • Exercise 2 key: Audience: classmates and the partner asking a follow-up question. Purpose: to describe a realistic career-decision method rather than a guaranteed lifelong outcome. Detail: “A review date lets me reconsider the plan as evidence and interests change” shows that the plan can be revised.
  • Exercise 4 key: 1. “A mentor’s experience can help me ask better questions, but it is not a guarantee.” 2. “A review date lets me reconsider the plan as evidence and interests change.” Both give specific information and show a process, not just a general claim.
  • Exercise 5 sample: Before choosing a career, I compare daily duties, training requirements, costs and working conditions. I ask a worker about an ordinary week and check current course recognition and entry requirements rather than an old advertisement. A mentor’s experience can help, but it is not a guarantee, so I keep more than one realistic route open and review my plan as my interests change.
  • Note: Teachers grade these by content and clarity, not by exact wording.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: “Work in pairs. You have five minutes for Exercises 2, 4 and 5. Use only information from the model. Keep the limit about the mentor in your summary.”

    Students

    Ss open their textbooks and read the three exercises with their partner.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T circulates and checks whether Ss include the condition “but it is not a guarantee” in the summary.

    Students

    Ss answer the three exercises and take turns writing the summary. Ss may ask: “Can I write that the mentor is always right?” T answers: “No, the model says it is not a guarantee.”

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on two pairs to read their summaries and asks the class to judge whether any invented result has been added.

    Students

    Pairs read their summary sentences. Classmates check whether each detail appears in the model.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T shows the key and emphasises that an illustrative example must not be turned into a claimed observation. T reminds Ss to keep accent variants that preserve the meaning.

    Students

    Ss correct their answers and underline the condition or limit in their summary.

Activity 4: Application · 9 minutes

Speak Up: Defend Your Career Viewpoint

a) Aims

  • Develop and defend a viewpoint on a career path.
  • Respond to a partner with a real follow-up question.

b) Content

  • Ss choose a career route they are considering, or a route they have heard about from a mentor.
  • Ss prepare a 1–2 minute talk with a position, one concrete example, one acknowledged limitation and an invitation to respond.
  • After the talk, the partner asks one real follow-up question. Ss complete Worksheet 2 as a speaking plan card.

c) Expected outcomes

  • A 1–2 minute spoken contribution with the four parts, correct sentence stress on key words and at least one phrasal verb.
  • One follow-up question and one relevant answer from each student.
  • Each talk states at least one condition, such as entry requirements or course recognition, and labels any example as an example.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T gives the prompt on the slide: “Choose a career route. Give your position, one example, one limitation and invite a response. Your partner asks one real follow-up question.” T distributes Worksheet 2.

    Students

    Ss read the prompt and the speaking plan card.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss two minutes to prepare notes on index cards. Then pairs speak and the listener asks a follow-up question. Pairs swap roles.

    Students

    Ss prepare notes and speak to their partner. Sample talk: “I think I should compare daily duties and costs before choosing a path. My cousin is a teacher, but she says her experience is not a guarantee for me. I should check entry requirements, so I will not rely on an old advertisement. Should I copy her route?”

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2–3 Ss to present to the class and asks the class to identify the position, the example, the limitation and the follow-up question.

    Students

    Volunteers deliver their talks. Classmates give one point of praise and one suggestion about stress or clarity.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T gives feedback on the four parts, stress and phrasal verb use, and reminds Ss that a good partner asks a real follow-up question instead of reading a prepared speech. T asks Ss to keep examples honest and to label any hypothetical example.

    Students

    Ss note their feedback on Worksheet 2 and set one target for their next speaking practice.
