I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • Ss can say and understand the words: bookshop (hiệu sách), campsite (khu cắm trại), traffic lights (đèn giao thông), get to (đến được).
  • Ss can ask the way politely with 'How can I get to the bookshop?' and give directions with 'Go straight and turn left/right'.
  • Ss can ask about and explain a road sign with 'What does it say?' and 'It says...'.
  • Ss can use the directions left and right from the point of view of the person who is walking, not the person facing them.
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and repeat the dialogue, ask and answer the question 'How can I get to the bookshop?', read the map, and write two lines of their own dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four new words correctly, use the imperative form 'Go straight' and the sequence 'Go straight and turn left/right', and use the question form 'How can I get to the...?'.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss finish the individual exercises in Worksheet 1 on their own and check their answers against the key before asking for help.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to role-play asking for and giving directions, and they swap roles so both partners practise each sentence pattern.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss read a map, trace the route from Start to the bookshop, and choose the correct direction words to create their own short dialogue.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss know that they must be supervised by an adult and follow traffic safety rules whenever they practise directions outside the classroom.
  • Kindness: Ss give clear and polite directions to their partners and thank each other after the role-play.

II. Resources and materials

1. Teacher

  • Lesson 2 slides from Unit 17 'In the city' (vocabulary, dialogue, grammar box, Let's play)

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 4 minutes

Simon Says Directions

Aims

Ss activate listening and the commands Go straight, turn left and turn right before they learn the new lesson.

Content

T plays the game Simon Says with the commands: Go straight, turn left, turn right, stop. Ss do the action only when T says 'Simon says' first. T uses gestures to show the direction.

Expected outcomes

Ss listen to the commands and do the correct movement; they say the commands aloud in chorus.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Let's play Simon Says! When I say Simon says, do the action. If I don't say Simon says, don't move.' T demonstrates one example.

    Pupils

    Ss listen to the rules and watch the teacher's example.

  2. Teacher

    T gives commands: 'Simon says go straight!', 'Simon says turn left!', 'Turn right!' (no Simon says, Ss should not move), 'Simon says stop!'. T speeds up after two rounds.

    Pupils

    Ss stand up and move their hands or bodies to show the direction. Expected answer: Ss do 'go straight' by moving the hand forward; they keep still when the command has no 'Simon says'.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Which direction is turn left?' and 'Show me turn right.'

    Pupils

    Ss point to the left and the right side. Expected answer: 'Turn left' is to the left of the person who is moving.

  4. Teacher

    T writes the phrases Go straight, turn left, turn right on the board and says: 'Today we will learn how to ask for and give directions. Open your book to page...'

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the phrases in chorus and open their textbooks.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 8 minutes

New Words: bookshop, campsite, traffic lights, get to

Aims

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

Content

Look, listen and repeat: T shows each picture card or object and reads the word aloud. Ss repeat in chorus, then individually. Cover-and-guess: T covers the meaning in the textbook and asks Ss to say the word from the picture. Exercises 1 and 2 are done as a quick check.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four words correctly, match each word with its Vietnamese meaning, and identify the word they hear in the recording (Exercise 2 answer: D. get to).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Look at the picture. Listen and repeat. Then cover the meaning and guess.' T shows the bookshop card and a real book.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the picture and the real book, and listen to T.

  2. Teacher

    T says each word: 'bookshop'. Ss repeat. T uses a gesture: opens hands like a book. T does the same with campsite (a small tent picture), traffic lights (a traffic light picture, with hand gestures to show stop and go), and get to (hand moving from one point to another). T plays the audio and asks Ss to choose the word they hear (Exercise 2).

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the words in chorus, then individually. Ss listen to the audio and choose: D. get to. Expected answer: 'get to' means đến được.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'What does bookshop mean?' and 'Which word means khu cắm trại?'

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'bookshop means hiệu sách' and 'campsite means khu cắm trại'. Ss match the words with the meanings in Exercise 1 (bookshop – hiệu sách; campsite – khu cắm trại; traffic lights – đèn giao thông; get to – đến được).

  4. Teacher

    T writes the four words on the board and asks: 'Which word is an action?' Ss say: 'get to' is an action. T confirms and reminds Ss to read the words aloud at home.

    Pupils

    Ss copy the four words and their meanings into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 8 minutes

Asking and Giving Directions

Aims

Ss understand and use the structure How can I get to the bookshop? and the answer Go straight and turn left/right.

Content

Listen, point and say: T models the dialogue A: How can I get to the bookshop? B: Go straight and turn left. T uses the directions map on the screen to show the route from Start. T explains that left and right are from the point of view of the walker. T also introduces What does it say? and It says... with a road sign. Worksheet 2 is used by pairs to trace the route.

Expected outcomes

Ss ask the question How can I get to the bookshop? and give the right directions on the map. Ss explain that left and right depend on the walker's direction.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Look at the map. Start is here. I am the walker. Listen to my question and point to the route.' T asks: 'How can I get to the bookshop?'

    Pupils

    Ss look at the map, listen and point with a finger from Start to the bookshop.

  2. Teacher

    T and a strong student model the dialogue. T says: 'Go straight and turn left.' T repeats the answer with 'turn right' using the second route on the map. Ss repeat in chorus, then in pairs, and use Worksheet 2 to trace the route with a pencil. Ask: 'Is turn left on my left or on the map's left?' Expected answer: 'Turn left is on the walker's left, not the map's left.'

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the dialogue. Pairs practise the question and the answer. Expected answer for the question 'What does it say?': 'It says stop' (from the road sign).

  3. Teacher

    T invites 2 pairs to present to the class. T gives feedback on pronunciation and the correct structure: 'Go straight and turn left', not 'Go straight turn left'.

    Pupils

    Each pair stands and says the dialogue. Expected answer: 'A: How can I get to the bookshop? B: Go straight and turn right.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises on the board: 'How can I get to the...?' (ask) – 'Go straight, turn left, turn right.' (answer) – 'What does it say?' – 'It says...'. T reminds: 'Left and right are from the walker's direction.'

    Pupils

    Ss copy the sentence patterns into their notebooks and check the Ghi nhớ box in the textbook.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Practice: Fill, Order, Choose and Listen

Aims

Ss practise the vocabulary and sentence patterns through controlled exercises and listening.

Content

Ss complete Exercises 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 from the textbook. Ss work individually for Exercises 3 and 4, then in pairs for Exercises 5, 6 and 7. The answers are checked as a class using the answer key. Ss may use the NeoEdu interactive exercises on the lesson page for extra practice if time allows.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete the exercises with the correct answers: Exercise 3: left (Go straight and turn left.); Exercise 4: Go straight and turn left.; Exercise 5: B. get to; Exercise 6: No (bookshop means hiệu sách; campsite means khu cắm trại); Exercise 7: B. Go straight and turn left.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Exercise 3: fill in the missing word. Exercise 4: put the words in order. You have 3 minutes. Work alone first.' T writes the example on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss read the instructions and start Exercises 3 and 4 silently.

  2. Teacher

    T walks around and checks. T asks: 'Exercise 5, which phrase means đến được?' and 'Exercise 6, is the sentence bookshop means khu cắm trại true or false?' T plays the audio for Exercise 7 twice.

    Pupils

    Ss work in pairs for Exercises 5, 6 and 7. Expected answers: Exercise 5: B. get to; Exercise 6: False, bookshop means hiệu sách; Exercise 7: B. Go straight and turn left.

  3. Teacher

    T calls on individual Ss to read their answers aloud and asks: 'Why is the answer to Exercise 6 false?' T confirms each answer.

    Pupils

    Ss read their answers: 'Go straight and turn left' for Exercise 4; 'No, bookshop is hiệu sách' for Exercise 6. Ss explain the reason in their own words.

  4. Teacher

    T praises the class and gives stickers to Ss with all correct answers. T says: 'Now you can ask and answer the directions. Next, we will talk in pairs.'

    Pupils

    Ss correct any mistakes in their notebooks and listen to the summary.

Activity 4: Application · 5 minutes

Fun Corner: Map Mission and Safe Directions

Aims

Ss use the target structures in a realistic situation and remember safety rules when they walk around the city.

Content

Map Mission: each pair uses the classroom map or Worksheet 2 to practise Exercise 8: one student asks How can I get to the bookshop?, and the partner answers with a direction. Then the pair changes the route and writes two lines of dialogue. Homework (optional): Ss ask an adult to walk with them and find one traffic light or road sign near home, then report what it says.

Expected outcomes

Each pair writes two lines of dialogue with a changed direction (for example: A: How can I get to the bookshop? B: Go straight and turn right.). Ss state at least one safety rule: practise outside only with an adult.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Work in pairs. Ask and answer How can I get to the bookshop? Then change the direction and write two lines in your notebook.' T shows the example on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss form pairs and read the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    T monitors and helps pairs with the writing. T asks: 'What happens when you walk outside? Who should be with you?' Expected answer: 'An adult should be with us, and we must follow traffic safety rules.'

    Pupils

    Ss role-play the dialogue and write their two lines. Expected answer for the sample: A: How can I get to the bookshop? B: Go straight and turn right.

  3. Teacher

    T asks 2 pairs to read their dialogue to the class and invites the class to point to the route on the map.

    Pupils

    Pairs read their dialogue. Classmates point to the route and say: 'Yes, it's correct' or give a suggestion.

  4. Teacher

    T gives the homework and says: 'Remember: practise outside only with an adult, and use the words What does it say? and It says... when you see a traffic sign.'

    Pupils

    Ss write the homework into their notebooks and say the safety rule aloud.
