Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: Good morning, class! Let's chant the numbers. T shows flashcards of 11-20 and leads the chant with a rhythm.
Pupils
Ss stand up, greet the teacher and repeat the chant with T: eleven, twelve, thirteen ... twenty.
Teacher
T shows a flashcard and asks: What number is it? T claps once and Ss say the number. T gives feedback on pronunciation of /n/ in nineteen, fourteen.
Pupils
Ss clap and answer: It's fourteen! Ss repeat the words after T and correct each other's pronunciation.
Teacher
T asks: Which number is difficult to say? Why? T writes the words on the board and stresses the /n/ sound.
Pupils
Ss answer: Fifteen and fourteen, because they both have /n/ at the end, or Seventeen, because it is long.
Teacher
T praises the class and says: Great! Today we will review the numbers and the words of Units 13 and 14.
Pupils
Ss say: Yes, teacher! and get ready for the next activity.
