I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- name four school subjects: Maths (Toán), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), English (Tiếng Anh), Science (Khoa học).
ask and answer the question 'What subjects do you have today?' and reply with 'I have Maths and English.'
use 'When do you have…?' to ask about the day of a subject and reply with 'I have it on Mondays.'
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and repeat the four subject names, ask and answer the question 'What subjects do you have today?', and write two turns of a short dialogue.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce 'Maths', 'Science', 'English' and 'Vietnamese' clearly, use the vocabulary set of four subjects, and use 'I have … and …' and 'I have it on …' correctly. Ss do not use 'at' before days of the week.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own pronunciation by covering the Vietnamese meaning and naming each subject alone before checking with the picture or the audio.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to ask and answer about their subjects today and take turns as speaker and listener.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss complete missing letters in subject names, then use the subjects in their own short timetable talk.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss practise the new words and sentences at home and take part in every pair task with full effort.
Responsibility: Ss complete their own worksheet, check their answers with their partner, and tell the teacher honestly which items they are unsure about.
Honesty: Ss give their own true timetable information when they talk about 'today' and do not copy a partner's answers without understanding them.

II. Resources and materials

1. Teacher

Picture flashcards or real objects for four subjects: a maths book or ruler, a Vietnamese book, an English book, a science kit or plant (for Maths, Vietnamese, English, Science)
Four word cards: Maths, Vietnamese, English, Science, and a sample timetable board
Audio recording of the new words and sentences (Unit 7, Lesson 1) and projector or speakers
NeoEdu digital lesson page for listening and interactive exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/4/english/unit-7-lesson-1
Worksheets 1 and 2 (printed, one set per pair)

2. Pupils

English textbook, notebook, pencil (bút chì), eraser (tẩy), colour pencils
A small blank card for writing a short timetable (two or three subjects)
Mobile device or tablet if the class uses NeoEdu for self-check (optional)

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Guess the subject

Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge of school subjects and get ready for the new words.

Content

T shows a book, a ruler, a plant and a notebook one by one. Ss guess the subject by saying the Vietnamese name or any English word they already know. Then T introduces the four new words through the objects.

Expected outcomes

Ss name the objects in Vietnamese or English and are ready to learn the new words Maths, Vietnamese, English and Science.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T holds up a maths ruler and says: 'Look at this. What subject is it?' T points to the other objects one by one.
Pupils
Ss look at the objects and answer in Vietnamese or English. Expected answers: 'Toán!' / 'Maths!' / 'Khoa học!' / 'English!'
Teacher
T says: 'Good! In English, this is Maths.' T writes the four words on the board and models each word clearly. T asks: 'Ready? Repeat after me.'
Pupils
Ss repeat the words in chorus, then in small groups.
Teacher
T calls on two or three Ss to say one word each with the object in hand.
Pupils
Ss say, for example: 'Maths!' or 'Science!'. The other Ss clap if the pronunciation is clear.
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Today we will learn four subjects and how to talk about our timetable.'
Pupils
Ss open their textbooks at Unit 7, Lesson 1 and listen.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 10 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: subject names

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and remember the meaning of the four subject names.

Content

Ss look at picture cards and listen to the audio for Maths, Vietnamese, English and Science. Then they play 'Read, cover and say': T covers the Vietnamese meaning on the word card and Ss name the subject alone. Ss also match each word with its meaning (Maths – Toán; Vietnamese – Tiếng Việt; English – Tiếng Anh; Science – Khoa học). Ss use gestures or real objects to remember the meaning, not spelling letter by letter.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four words correctly and match each word with its Vietnamese meaning on Worksheet 1, Part A.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the four picture cards and says: 'Listen and look. Then repeat.' T plays the audio on the NeoEdu page once.
Pupils
Ss listen and look at the pictures carefully.
Teacher
T asks: 'What is this subject?' while pointing to the picture. T models the word again and asks Ss to repeat in chorus, then in rows.
Pupils
Ss repeat: 'Maths', 'Vietnamese', 'English', 'Science'. Expected answer when T points to the ruler: 'Maths!'
Teacher
T demonstrates 'Read, cover and say': T shows a word card and covers its Vietnamese meaning. T asks: 'What is the English word for Toán?' T gives a gesture for each subject (for example, counting on fingers for Maths).
Pupils
Ss work in pairs: one S covers the meaning, the partner names the subject. Expected answer: 'Maths!' / 'Science!'
Teacher
T asks: 'Who can tell me the Vietnamese meaning of English?' T gives Worksheet 1 to pairs to complete Part A.
Pupils
Ss answer: 'English là Tiếng Anh.' Pairs complete the matching task and check each other's answers.
Teacher
T checks the answers with the class and corrects pronunciation. T says: 'Maths, not Math' and gives the stress on the first syllable.
Pupils
Ss say the four words and their meanings once more together.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 8 minutes

Listen, point and say: asking about subjects

Aims

Ss understand and use the sentence pattern 'What subjects do you have today?', 'I have … and …', 'When do you have …?' and 'I have it on …'.

Content

T models the dialogue with a student: A: What subjects do you have today? B: I have Maths and English. T explains that 'What subjects…?' asks for a list of subjects and 'When do you have…?' asks for the day. T shows that 'I have it on Mondays' replaces the subject name to avoid repetition. T also notes: do not use 'at' before days; use 'on Mondays' for a weekly routine. Ss point to subject cards on the board as they say the sentences.

Expected outcomes

Ss can read and repeat the four key sentences and point to the correct subject card when listening. Ss complete Worksheet 1, Part B, with the correct sentence.

Procedure

Activity 3: Practice · 7 minutes

Let's play: missing letters and pair talk

Aims

Ss consolidate subject names and use them in 'I have … today' sentences through a game and pair practice.

Content

Game: T writes on the board 'm _ t h s', 's c _ e n c e', 'E n g l _ s h'. Teams take turns to fill in the missing letter and read the whole word. Each correct turn, the team must use the subject in a sentence: 'I have Maths today.' Then Ss do Worksheet 2 (exercises 1–7) quickly in pairs.

Expected outcomes

Ss fill in the missing letters (maths, science, English) and complete Worksheet 2. Answers: 3. have; 4. I have Maths and English; 2. D (Maths); 5. C (Science); 6. False ('Maths' means Toán; 'Vietnamese' means Tiếng Việt); 7. B (I have Maths and English.); 1. Maths – Toán; Vietnamese – Tiếng Việt; English – Tiếng Anh; Science – Khoa học.

Procedure

Activity 4: Application · 5 minutes

My timetable interview

Aims

Ss use the target language in a real-life situation: talking about their own subjects today or an imaginary character's timetable.

Content

Pairs act as 'classmates' and ask each other: 'What subjects do you have today?' and 'When do you have Maths?'. Partners reply with their own information or with an imaginary character's information. Then each S writes two turns of the dialogue on a small card (exercise 8 model).

Expected outcomes

Each pair performs a two-turn dialogue. Each S writes two lines on a card, for example: A: What subjects do you have today? B: I have Science and Vietnamese. The writing is clear and readable.
