I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • Read, pronounce and understand the words: favourite (yêu thích nhất), subject (môn học), English teacher (giáo viên tiếng Anh), Maths teacher (giáo viên Toán).
  • Ask and answer the question “What is your favourite subject?” with “It is Art.”
  • Give a reason with “Why do you like…?” and “Because…”, and say a future job with “I want to be a painter / an English teacher.”
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen and choose the correct word or sentence, ask and answer about favourite subjects in pairs, read the four new words, and write two lines of a short dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce favourite and subject correctly, use “is” in “It is Art.”, and use “want to be” + a noun (not “want be”) when they talk about future jobs.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own answers with the audio and NeoEdu exercises, and correct their mistakes without waiting for the teacher to tell them.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about favourite subjects, take turns in the song, and share their survey results with classmates.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss change one piece of information in the dialogue, such as the subject or the job, to create a new answer that suits themselves or an imaginary character.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss finish all the exercises on time and repeat the song lines carefully in both rounds.
  • Kindness: Ss listen politely to classmates, wait for their turn, and encourage friends who are shy when speaking English.
  • Responsibility: Ss bring their textbook and survey card, complete the homework, and return the worksheets to the teacher at the end of the lesson.

    Pupils

    Ss listen carefully, look at T’s gestures, and repeat each word in chorus, then in groups, then individually.
