Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 3 minutes

Warm-up: Where are you from?

Content

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T says: 'Hello, class! How are you today?' Then T points to a student and asks: 'What is your name?' T shows the picture and asks: 'Who are these friends? Where are they from?'
Pupils
Ss greet T back ('Hello, teacher! We are fine, thank you.'), answer the name question and look at the picture.
Teacher
T asks Ss to guess the topic and writes 'Countries' on the board. T says: 'Today we will learn where our friends are from.'
Pupils
Ss guess: 'Countries!' / 'Where are they from?' and copy the title into their notebooks.
Teacher
T calls on 2–3 Ss to answer: 'Where are you from?' (Ss may answer 'I am from Viet Nam.' because this is the only country they have already learned).
Pupils
Ss answer with 'I am from Viet Nam.' and listen to their classmates.
Teacher
T praises Ss and says: 'Good! Today we will learn new countries and how to ask about friends.'
Pupils
Ss listen and get ready for the new lesson.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 7 minutes

Vocabulary: Look, listen and repeat

Aims

Ss recognise and pronounce four new country names and understand their Vietnamese meanings.

Content

T shows the four country flashcards: Japan (Nhật Bản), Malaysia (Ma-lai-xi-a), Thailand (Thái Lan), Singapore (Xin-ga-po). Ss look, listen, repeat and play a 'cover and say' game. Ss must not read letter by letter; they use gestures or pictures to remember the meaning.

Expected outcomes

Ss can say the four country names correctly and match each name with its Vietnamese meaning.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the flashcard of Japan and says: 'Look and listen. Japan.' T asks Ss to repeat chorally, then in groups and individually. T uses a gesture (for example, bowing) to help Ss remember the meaning.
Pupils
Ss look at the flashcard, listen and repeat: 'Japan', 'Japan'. Ss copy the gesture.
Teacher
T shows the other three flashcards (Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore) and repeats the same steps. T then covers the Vietnamese meanings on the board and asks: 'What does Malaysia mean?'
Pupils
Ss repeat the new words and try to say the Vietnamese meaning. Expected answers: 'Malaysia – Ma-lai-xi-a', 'Thailand – Thái Lan', 'Singapore – Xin-ga-po', 'Japan – Nhật Bản'.
Teacher
T asks each row to stand up and say one country name in turn, with a gesture. T gives feedback on pronunciation and corrects stress and sounds when needed.
Pupils
Each row stands up and says the country names in turn. Ss listen to feedback and repeat the corrected word.
Teacher
T summarises: 'Four new countries: Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Remember: write country names with capital letters.'
Pupils
Ss write the four words and their meanings in their notebooks and check the spelling.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 8 minutes

Sentence pattern: Listen, point and say

Aims

Ss understand and use the sentence patterns 'Where are you from?' and 'Where is she/he from?' with the correct verb form.

Content

T models the dialogue: A: Where is she from? B: She is from Japan. T explains the rules: 'Where are you from?' is used to ask a person in front of you; 'Where is he/she from?' is used to ask about a third person. I goes with am, you goes with are, he/she goes with is. Country names start with a capital letter, and 'from' comes before the country name. We only say where a person comes from and never guess a person's nationality from their appearance.

Expected outcomes

Ss can read the dialogue, identify the question and answer forms, and explain the use of am, is and are.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T writes the dialogue on the board: 'A: Where is she from? B: She is from Japan.' T reads it aloud with the picture of a girl from Japan. T asks: 'Who is A talking to?' and 'Is she in front of A or not?'
Pupils
Ss listen and point to the question and answer on the board. Expected answer: 'A is asking about a girl, not a person in front of A.'
Teacher
T asks Ss to read the sentences in pairs: 'Where are you from?' – 'I am from Viet Nam.' T asks: 'Which verb do we use with I? With you? With he/she?' Ss complete the rule.
Pupils
Ss read in pairs. Expected answers: I – am; you – are; he/she – is.
Teacher
T calls on 3 pairs to read the dialogue aloud and checks the answers with the class. T asks: 'Why do we write Japan with a capital J?' (Expected answer: 'Country names begin with a capital letter.')
Pupils
Pairs read the dialogue. Ss answer the question about capital letters.
Teacher
T writes the key structure on the board in bold: Where are you from? and Where is he/she from? T reminds Ss: 'Do not guess nationality from appearance. Just ask where people are from.'
Pupils
Ss copy the key structures into their notebooks.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 6 minutes

Quick check: Matching, listening and choosing

Aims

Ss check their understanding of vocabulary and sentence patterns through matching, listening and choosing tasks.

Content

Activity 3.2: Practice · 8 minutes

Let's play and Let's talk: Guess the country

Aims

Ss practise asking and answering 'Where are you from?' and 'Where is he/she from?' through a game and a pair dialogue.

Content

Part A (Exercises 3 and 4): Ss fill in the missing word in 'Where ___ she from?' and arrange the words 'She – is – from – Japan' into a sentence. Part B (Let's play): each student holds a secret name card of one country and acts as a person from that country. Students interview each other with 'Where are you from?', note the name and country they hear, then ask a third person 'Where is she/he from?'. After one round, students swap cards. Part C (Exercise 8): pairs practise the dialogue 'Where is she from?' and change the information to match themselves or an imaginary friend, then write two turns of the dialogue.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete Exercises 3 and 4 (answers: 'is'; 'She is from Japan.'), take part in the game, and write two turns of a new dialogue, for example: A: Where is she from? B: She is from Singapore.

Procedure

Pupils
Ss ask and answer in groups of three. Ss write down the names and countries they hear. After one round, Ss swap cards and continue. In pairs, Ss write two turns of their own dialogue (Exercise 8).
Teacher
T calls 2–3 pairs to present their dialogue. T asks the class: 'Did they use is, am or are correctly?'
Pupils
Pairs present dialogues, for example: A: Where is she from? B: She is from Thailand. Other Ss give feedback.
Teacher

Activity 4: Application · 3 minutes

Fun corner: Where is my friend from?

Aims

Ss use the language of the lesson in a real-life situation outside the classroom.

T gives the homework task: interview a family member or a friend at home, then write two sentences in the notebook and share them in the next lesson.

Expected outcomes
