I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to: identify and pronounce the words stop, turn left, turn right and go straight.
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to: ask and answer the question What does it say? with the answer It says…
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to: give simple directions with Go straight, turn left and turn right, and ask politely How can I get to the…?
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to a sound and choose the correct word, read signs and match them with meanings, speak in pairs with What does it say? and It says…, and write two lines of their dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce turn left and turn right with clear stress, use the four new words, and arrange words into the sentence It says stop.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss read each new word, cover its meaning, and check themselves by naming the word and acting out its meaning without spelling it letter by letter.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss take turns in pairs to ask and answer about road signs, confirm what they heard, and ask again when they did not hear clearly.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss match signs with meanings, change one piece of information in a dialogue, and invent a new sign for a group chant.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss follow the rule that they practise road signs only in the classroom, and they only go outside with an adult when the teacher says so.
  • Kindness: Ss listen patiently to their partners, praise each other's answers, and help a classmate who cannot find the right word.
  • Diligence: Ss finish all tasks in the lesson and write their dialogue lines neatly.

II. Resources and materials

1. Teacher

  • Flashcards or pictures of four road signs: stop, turn left, turn right, go straight (the words written under each picture).

Road Signs Warm-up

Aims

Ss get ready for the lesson, recall the vocabulary of places in the city and start thinking about road signs.

Content

Ss play a quick guessing game: T shows a picture of a road sign or a place in town, and Ss shout out the name in English or Vietnamese. Then Ss sing a short hello chant about the city.

Expected outcomes

Ss are active, know the topic In the city, and can name at least three places or signs in English.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T greets the class and says: Good morning, class! Today we are going to talk about the city. Let's look at some pictures. T shows a picture of a park and asks: What's this? (park)

    Pupils

    Ss stand up, greet the teacher and answer: It's a park. Ss look at the picture and say the place names they know.

  2. Teacher

    T shows a picture of a red round sign and asks: What's this? T asks Ss to guess the meaning in Vietnamese.

    Pupils

    Ss guess: It's a stop sign. / It means dừng lại. T gives Ss a clue by pointing to a traffic light.

  3. Teacher

    T asks several Ss to say one place or sign they know and praises them.

    Pupils

    Ss say: Park, school, bank, traffic light. They raise their hands and answer in full sentences if they can.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 8 minutes

New Words: Stop, Turn Left, Turn Right, Go Straight

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the meaning of four new words through pictures, gestures and real objects.

Content

Ss look at the flashcards, listen to the audio, repeat the words, and use gestures to remember the meaning. Ss play a Simon Says game with the four commands. Ss do not read the words by spelling letter by letter.

Expected outcomes

Ss can say the four words correctly and act out each meaning: stop (dừng lại), turn left (rẽ trái), turn right (rẽ phải), go straight (đi thẳng).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the four flashcards one by one. T says: Look, listen and repeat. T says each word and models the gesture: stop (hand raised), turn left (arm points left), turn right (arm points right), go straight (hand moves forward). Question: What does 'stop' mean? (dừng lại)

    Pupils

    Ss look at the cards, listen and repeat the words in chorus, then in small groups. Ss copy the gestures and say the meanings in Vietnamese.

  2. Teacher

    T covers the meaning with a hand and asks Ss to name the word from the gesture only. T says: Cover the meaning and say the word. T plays the audio and asks Ss to point at the right card.

    Pupils

    Ss say the word and point to the card. Expected answers: Stop! / Turn left! / Turn right! / Go straight! Ss check their pronunciation with the audio.

  3. Teacher

    T plays Simon Says with the four commands: Simon says turn left! Simon says stop! T gives some commands without Simon Says so Ss must not move.

    Pupils

    Ss follow the commands with actions and move only when the command starts with Simon says. Ss who move by mistake sit down for one turn.

  4. Teacher

    T shows the NeoEdu presentation on the screen for a quick review and asks: How do we say go straight? (go straight). T praises the class and writes the four words on the board.
