I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • Name four jobs: teacher (giáo viên), doctor (bác sĩ), farmer (nông dân), nurse (y tá).
  • Ask and answer the question 'What does she/he do?' with 'She/He is a + noun'.
  • Use 'Where does he/she work?' and 'He/She works at…' to talk about workplaces.
  • Explain the spelling change: 'does' and 'work' stay unchanged in questions, while 'works' takes -s in statements with he/she.
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and identify job words, ask and answer 'What does she do?' in pairs, sing a chant with new lyrics, and write two turns of a dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four job words correctly, use 'a' before singular jobs (a doctor, a teacher), and apply the -s rule for 'works' in statements.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own pronunciation and word meaning by covering the Vietnamese meaning and self-testing before checking with the teacher.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about jobs, confirm what they heard, and change one piece of information in each turn.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss create new sentences by replacing jobs and names, and make a family job poster for the Fun corner activity.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise the new words and sentence patterns regularly, finish each worksheet on time and repeat the drills until they can say them fluently.
  • Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair and group work, complete their assigned role, and complete the family job poster at home.
  • Kindness: Ss respect every job and speak politely and encouragingly when correcting or praising their partners.

II. Resources and materials

1. Teacher

  • Lesson plan, projector or interactive whiteboard, flashcards or pictures of a teacher, a doctor, a farmer and a nurse, a real stethoscope or a toy doctor's kit, a straw hat or a toy plant for the farmer, a nurse's cap or a white mask.
  • Printed Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 (one set per pair), a timer, small prize stickers.
  • NeoEdu online lesson with presentation, examples and interactive exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/4/english/unit-12-lesson-1

2. Pupils

  • Textbook Tiếng Anh 4 (Global Success), notebook, pencil, eraser, coloured pencils or crayons.
  • Blank paper sheet (A4) for the family job poster, glue or tape.
  • Mini whiteboard and marker for quick answers (optional).

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 7 minutes

Jobs Charades

Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about jobs and get ready for the new vocabulary through a fun mime game.

Content

T mimes a job (e.g. holding a stethoscope for a doctor, holding a watering can for a farmer). Ss guess the job in English or Vietnamese, then say 'She/He is a…' Then Ss play in small groups: one student mimes, the others guess.

Expected outcomes

Ss can recall at least two job names they already know and guess the job from actions.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T greets the class, introduces the game 'Jobs Charades' and shows the first mime (a doctor with a toy stethoscope). T asks: 'What do I do?'

    Pupils

    Ss watch and guess. Possible answer: 'You are a doctor.' / 'Doctor!'

  2. Teacher

    T calls on 2–3 volunteers to mime (teacher, farmer, nurse). T models the sentence 'She is a farmer.' and asks Ss to repeat it.

    Pupils

    Ss mime and guess in groups of four. Ss repeat 'She is a farmer.' after T.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Which jobs do you know?' and writes the names on the board. T points out that the new words will be learned in the next activity.

    Pupils

    Ss call out names: 'Teacher', 'Doctor', 'Driver', 'Cook'… (expected answers).

  4. Teacher

    T praises the group with the most correct guesses and says: 'Today we will learn four new jobs.'

    Pupils

    Ss clap and say 'Yes, teacher!'

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 14 minutes

New Words: Look, Listen and Repeat

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and remember the meaning of four job words: teacher, doctor, farmer, nurse.

Content

Ss look at pictures and the NeoEdu presentation of the four words. T reads each word, Ss repeat in chorus and individually, then cover the meaning and name the job from the picture. Ss use gestures or real objects to remember meanings (stethoscope for doctor, straw hat for farmer, nurse's cap for nurse, chalk for teacher).

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce teacher, doctor, farmer, nurse correctly and match each word with its picture and Vietnamese meaning.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the flashcards and the NeoEdu words slide. T says: 'Look at the picture. Listen and repeat.' T models each word clearly, stressing the first syllable of doctor and farmer.

    Pupils

    Ss look at pictures and listen. Ss repeat in chorus: 'teacher, doctor, farmer, nurse'.

  2. Teacher

    T uses the 'cover and guess' technique: T hides the Vietnamese meaning and points to a picture. T asks: 'What is this?' T demonstrates the gesture for each job.

    Pupils

    Ss answer 'It's a doctor.' / 'It's a farmer.' and copy the gestures. Pairs test each other: one student points, the other says the word.

  3. Teacher

    T asks 2–3 pairs to show their gesture and word to the class. T corrects pronunciation, e.g. 'nurse' /nɜːs/ with a clear vowel, not 'nu'.

    Pupils

    Ss stand up one by one, perform the gesture and say the word. Ss respond: 'Doctor!' or 'Nurse!'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises: 'teacher – giáo viên; doctor – bác sĩ; farmer – nông dân; nurse – y tá.' T asks Ss to open the textbook and point to the words.

    Pupils

    Ss point to the words in the textbook and say the meaning in Vietnamese or English. Ss write the four words in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 12 minutes

Key Sentences: Listen, Point and Say

Aims

Ss understand and use the question 'What does she do?' and the answer 'She is a + noun', and notice 'a' before the job name.

Content

T presents the dialogue: A: What does she do? B: She is a doctor. T explains the pattern: 'What does he/she do?' asks about a job; 'He's/She's a + noun' answers. Ss listen to the recording, point to the matching picture and repeat the sentences.

Expected outcomes

Ss can point to the correct picture when listening and say the full question and answer for each job.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T writes the dialogue on the board, reads it with a student and asks: 'What is the question? What is the answer?' T underlines 'a' in 'a doctor'.

    Pupils

    Ss read the dialogue in chorus. Possible answer: 'The question is What does she do? The answer is She is a doctor.'

  2. Teacher

    T plays the audio (Listen, point and say). T pauses after each sentence and asks Ss to point to the correct picture.

    Pupils

    Ss listen, point to the picture (doctor, farmer, nurse, teacher) and repeat the sentence chorally, then individually.

  3. Teacher

    T gives Worksheet 1 to each pair. T says: 'Complete the sentence with a.' T checks answers aloud.

    Pupils

    Pairs complete Worksheet 1 and report answers: 'She is a doctor.' / 'He is a farmer.' Ss explain that 'a' is used before a job.

  4. Teacher

    T reminds Ss of the grammar note: 'What does he/she do?' and 'He/She works at…' (for statements with he/she, 'work' becomes 'works'). T emphasises that every job deserves respect.

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the grammar note and copy it into their notebooks. Ss answer: 'Every job is important.'

Activity 3.1: Practice · 12 minutes

Let's Talk: Ask, Answer and Confirm

Aims

Ss practise asking and answering about jobs in pairs, confirm information and change at least one detail each turn.

Content

Ss work in pairs. Student A asks 'What does she do?' Student B answers with real information or an imaginary character. Student A repeats what was heard ('So she is a nurse.'). Students swap roles and change at least one piece of information. Pairs then write two turns of the dialogue on Worksheet 2.

Expected outcomes

Each pair performs two turns of dialogue correctly and writes two turns on Worksheet 2. Sample answer: A: What does she do? B: She is a nurse. A: So she is a nurse.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T models the dialogue with a strong student. T says: 'Ask, answer and confirm. Change one piece of information in your second turn.' T hands out Worksheet 2.

    Pupils

    Ss watch the model and repeat: 'What does she do?' 'She is a nurse.' 'So she is a nurse.'

  2. Teacher

    T monitors, listens to pairs and helps with pronunciation or word choice. T encourages Ss to ask 'Sorry, what did you say?' if they do not hear clearly.

    Pupils

    Pairs practise. Example: A: What does he do? B: He is a farmer. A: So he is a farmer. Next turn: A: What does she do? B: She is a teacher. A: So she is a teacher.

  3. Teacher

    T calls on 3 pairs to perform in front of the class and gives feedback on correct structure (question, answer, confirmation).

    Pupils

    Pairs perform. Ss in the class listen and answer 'Correct!' or 'Good job!' when a pair does well.

  4. Teacher

    T summarises the key structure and reminds Ss to keep the question 'What does she do?' with 'do' and the statement 'She works at…' with 'works'.

    Pupils

    Ss write the two turns on Worksheet 2 and hand it in for checking.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 9 minutes

Let's Sing: Family Jobs Chant

Aims

Ss use the target structure 'She/He is a…' in a chant with new lyrics, and practise rhythm and pronunciation.

Content

T reads the chant lines with meaning: 'My aunt is a nurse. My uncle is a farmer. My mother is a doctor. My father is a teacher.' Ss clap four beats per line, sing or chant the first two lines higher and the last two lower, then swap roles. After two rounds, Ss change one piece of information (e.g. 'My sister is a teacher.') and chant again.

Expected outcomes

Ss chant all four lines with clear words and steady beat and make at least one correct change to the lyrics.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T reads each line and explains the meaning in Vietnamese. T claps four beats per line to show the rhythm.

    Pupils

    Ss listen, repeat each line after T and clap four beats per line.

  2. Teacher

    T leads the chant in two rounds. In round one, T sings lines 1–2, Ss sing lines 3–4. In round two, pairs swap roles. T listens to pronunciation and corrects gently.

    Pupils

    Ss chant in groups or pairs. Some Ss may chant instead of sing if they feel shy.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Can you change one line?' and models 'My sister is a teacher.' T writes a new line on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss create new lines, e.g. 'My brother is a doctor.' / 'My grandma is a farmer.' and chant them to the class.

  4. Teacher

    T praises the class and reminds Ss that the chant is for practice, not for a perfect singing score.

    Pupils

    Ss clap and say 'Thank you, teacher!'

Activity 4: Application · 16 minutes

Fun Corner and Wrap-up: My Family's Jobs

Aims

Ss use jobs vocabulary and the target structures in a real-life context (family and community) and review the lesson.

Content

Fun corner (in class, 8 minutes): Ss play 'Guess Who' in groups of four. Each S chooses a job card (teacher, doctor, farmer, nurse) and hides it. Others ask 'What does she/he do?' and guess. Wrap-up (in class, 4 minutes): T asks Ss to say one new job word and one sentence. Project (homework): Ss draw a family job poster with at least four family members, write 'My … is a …' and ask one family member 'What does he/she do?' and 'Where does he/she work?'

Expected outcomes

Ss complete at least three rounds of 'Guess Who' using correct questions and answers, say one review sentence in class, and prepare a family job poster with at least four sentences for homework.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T explains the rules of 'Guess Who' and shows an example with a job card. T distributes job cards and a small sticker prize for the first correct guess.

    Pupils

    Ss listen and form groups of four. Ss ask: 'Is he a doctor?' / 'Is she a farmer?' or 'What does she do?'

  2. Teacher

    T monitors groups and helps with questions. T encourages Ss to use 'What does he/she do?' and 'She is a…' rather than only 'Is she…?'.

    Pupils

    Groups play three rounds. Ss answer: 'She is a nurse.' / 'He is a teacher.' The student who guesses correctly gets a sticker.

  3. Teacher

    T asks 2–3 Ss to stand and say one sentence about a job they learned today, e.g. 'My uncle is a farmer.' T explains the homework project and shows a sample poster.

    Pupils

    Ss stand up and say their sentences. Ss listen to the homework instructions and copy them in their notebooks.

  4. Teacher

    T reviews the four jobs and the key structures in one quick question round: 'What does she do?' 'What is the answer?' T thanks Ss and reminds them that all jobs deserve respect.

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'She is a doctor.' 'He is a farmer.' Ss say 'Thank you, teacher!'
