    • Ask and answer the question 'Where are you from?' using 'I am from …'.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 15 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: four countries

Aims

Ss recognise and pronounce the four country names: Viet Nam, Britain, America, Australia, and understand their meaning.

Content

T shows flashcards and plays the audio. Ss repeat the words, match each word with a picture and a gesture, and then play the 'Stand up' game to recognise each country.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four country names correctly and match each word with its meaning (Viet Nam – Việt Nam; Britain – Anh; America – Mỹ; Australia – Úc).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the flashcard of Viet Nam and asks 'Where is this?' T says 'This is Viet Nam. Repeat, please.' Then T shows the other three flashcards.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the flashcards and answer 'It's Viet Nam.' Expected answer for the other cards: 'Britain', 'America', 'Australia'.

  2. Teacher

    T plays the audio of each word, pauses after each word and asks Ss to repeat chorally and then individually. T uses gestures: a hand on the heart for Viet Nam, a flag-shaped gesture for Britain, a wave for America and a hand over the eyes like a sunshine for Australia. T says: 'Don't read letter by letter. Say the whole word.'

    Pupils

    Ss listen, repeat the words aloud and use the same gestures. Ss close their eyes, T says a word and Ss guess the country: 'America!'

  3. Teacher

    T plays the 'Stand up' game: 'Stand up if you hear Australia.' T says the words in random order.

    Pupils

    Ss stand up quickly when they hear the correct country, and they say the Vietnamese meaning, for example 'Australia – Úc'.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 15 minutes

Listen, point and say: Where are you from?

Aims

Ss understand and say the sentence patterns 'Where are you from?', 'I am from …' and 'Where is he/she from?', and recognise the use of am, is, are.

Content

T presents the dialogue 'A: Where are you from? B: I am from Viet Nam.' and the pictures of Bao and Mia. T explains that we use am with I, is with he/she, and are with you, and that country names begin with capital letters and come after 'from'.

Expected outcomes

Ss can point to the correct picture and say the question and answer with the correct form of be and capital letters for country names.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T writes the dialogue on the board and reads it aloud: 'A: Where are you from? B: I am from Viet Nam.' T asks 'Who asks the question?' and 'Who answers?'

    Pupils

    Ss listen and answer: 'A asks, B answers.'

    Ss point to the pictures and answer. Expected answers: 'He is from Viet Nam.' and 'She is from Australia.'

  3. Teacher

    T asks Ss to say the rules with examples: 'I am', 'you are', 'he/she is'. T asks 'Why do we write Viet Nam with capital letters?'

    Pupils

    Ss say: 'I am from Viet Nam.' 'You are from Britain.' 'She is from Australia.' Expected answer: 'Because it is a country name.'

  4. Teacher

    T writes the grammar rules in a small table on the board: I – am; you – are; he/she – is. T says 'Remember: from is before the country name.'

    Pupils

    Ss copy the three rules and the example sentences into their notebooks.

Each pair completes two exchanges with correct questions, answers and confirmation, and writes two lines of the talk in their notebooks.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T gives out Worksheet 2 and models with a pupil: 'A: Where are you from? B: I am from America.' Then T says 'Confirm: So you are from America?'

    Pupils

Ss use the new language in a song and introduce a friend in a short talk, which connects the lesson to real life.

Content

Ss sing the song with the new lyrics: 'My name is Bao. I am from Viet Nam. This is my friend, Mia. She is from Australia.' The teacher beats four claps per line. Ss change one piece of information (name or country) and sing again. The teacher listens directly to each group.
