I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to: name and read the months July (tháng Bảy), August (tháng Tám), September (tháng Chín) and October (tháng Mười).
Ss will be able to ask and answer with the pattern “Is your sports day in October?” – “Yes, it is.” / “No, it isn’t.”
Ss will be able to use “in + month” to answer “When’s your sports day?” (It’s in October.) and name sports: basketball, football, badminton.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and point to the months, ask and answer “Is your sports day in…?”, read and write two short exchanges.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four months correctly, use the words July, August, September, October, and use “in” before months.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own answers in the worksheet, correct mistakes and practise the new words at home without teacher’s help.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask, answer, confirm and change one piece of information, and ask again when they do not hear clearly.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use the calendar and the sentence pattern to make their own sports day plan and present it to the class.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss actively take part in all activities, practise the sentences many times and finish the worksheet on time.
Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair work, keep their promise to practise at home and complete the class calendar project with their group.

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Sports and Month Chain Game

Aims

Ss review the sports words and the question “What month is it now?” to get ready for the new lesson.

Content

Ss play a quick chain game: T shows sports flashcards (basketball, football, badminton) and Ss say the sentence “We play basketball.” Then T asks “What month is it now?” and Ss answer with the month they know.

Expected outcomes

Teacher
T shows the flashcards one by one and says: “Look at the picture. What sport is it?”
Pupils
Ss look at the flashcards and answer: “It’s basketball.” / “It’s football.” / “It’s badminton.”
Teacher
T asks: “What do we play on our sports day?” and models: “We play basketball.” T calls on pairs to play the chain game: the first pair says a sentence, the next pair continues.
Pupils
Ss take turns in pairs and say: “We play football.” / “We play badminton.” Students listen and check their friend’s sentence.
Teacher
T asks: “What month is it now?” and gives a sample answer: “It’s … now.”
Pupils
Ss answer the question in full sentences, for example: “It’s September now.” (If Ss do not know the month, they can point to the calendar.)
Teacher

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 15 minutes

Look, Listen and Repeat: The Months

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and remember the words July, August, September and October, and understand their meanings through gestures and real objects.

Content

Ss look at the calendar and the picture in the textbook, listen to the audio, repeat the words and say the meaning in Vietnamese or in gestures. Ss cover the Vietnamese meaning and say the English word by themselves. Ss do not spell the words letter by letter; they say the whole word.

Expected outcomes

Ss read the four months correctly and match each month with its position on the calendar (July, August, September, October).

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the calendar and says: “Look at the calendar. This is July. This is August. This is September. This is October.” T asks: “Which month is after July?”
Pupils
Ss look at the calendar and answer: “August is after July.”
Teacher
T plays the audio and models each word with a gesture: July (hands wave like summer sun), August (hands show a big number eight), September (hands point to a school bag), October (hands show ten fingers). T says each word and asks Ss to repeat chorally, then in groups, then individually. T covers the meaning and asks Ss to say the word.
Pupils
Ss listen, repeat the words after T, copy the gestures and answer: “July!”, “August!”, “September!”, “October!” when T shows the flashcard.
Teacher
T asks each group to stand up, show a flashcard and say the word and its meaning. T corrects pronunciation carefully (for example, the stress in September and October).
Pupils
Each group says, for example: “October – tháng Mười.” Other groups listen and say “Correct!” or help the group repeat the word.
Teacher
T summarises: “July is tháng Bảy, August is tháng Tám, September is tháng Chín, October is tháng Mười. We use the word ‘in’ before months: in October.”
Pupils
Ss copy the four months and their meanings into their notebooks and repeat the words once more.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 13 minutes

Listen, Point and Say: Is Your Sports Day in October?

Aims

Ss understand and use the pattern “Is your sports day in…?” to ask about a specific month, and answer with “Yes, it is.” or “No, it isn’t.”

Content

Ss listen to the dialogue, point to the month on the calendar and repeat the question and answer. T explains: “Is your sports day in…?” asks about one specific month; the answer is “Yes, it is” or “No, it isn’t”. “When’s your sports day?” asks an open question; the answer is “It’s in + month”. We use “in” before months and “on” before days of the week. Ss can also say: “We play basketball / football / badminton.”

Expected outcomes

Ss point to the correct month on the calendar and say the dialogue “Is your sports day in October?” – “Yes, it is.” correctly, and understand the difference between the yes/no question and the open question.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T writes on the board: “Is your sports day in October?” and asks: “Does this question ask about a specific month or an open question?”
Pupils
Ss read the question and answer: “It asks about a specific month.” (Some Ss may answer in Vietnamese: “Hỏi về một tháng cụ thể.”)
Teacher
T plays the dialogue “A: Is your sports day in October? B: Yes, it is.” Then T points to October on the calendar and asks Ss to point and say the dialogue with a partner. T models the question “When’s your sports day?” and the answer “It’s in October.”
Pupils
Ss listen, point to October on the calendar and repeat in pairs: “Is your sports day in October?” – “Yes, it is.” Ss practise the open question “When’s your sports day?” – “It’s in October.”
Teacher
T asks several pairs to stand up and say the dialogue. T asks: “Is your sports day in August?” and gets the answer “No, it isn’t.”
Pupils
Pairs say the dialogue. Possible answers: “Yes, it is.” / “No, it isn’t.” Other Ss listen and decide if the answer is correct.
Teacher
T writes the key points on the board: “Is your sports day in…?” – “Yes, it is / No, it isn’t.”; “When’s your sports day?” – “It’s in + month.”; “in” before months, “on” before days. T asks Ss to write the key structure in their notebooks.
Pupils
Ss copy the key points into their notebooks and say the question and answer once more with a friend.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 12 minutes

Listen and Match: Words and Sentences

Aims

Ss practise listening and reading to match words with their meanings, choose the correct answer and decide whether a statement is true or false.

Content

Ss do Worksheet 1: exercise 1 (match the words with their meanings), exercise 2 (listen and choose the word you hear), exercise 3 (fill in the gap: Yes, it __.), exercise 4 (put the words in order), exercise 5 (choose the word for “tháng Mười”), exercise 6 (True or False: “July” means “tháng Tám”), exercise 7 (listen and choose the sentence you hear). T plays the audio for exercises 2 and 7.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 1 with correct answers: 1) July – tháng Bảy; August – tháng Tám; September – tháng Chín; October – tháng Mười. 2) D (September). 3) is. 4) Yes, it is. 5) C (October). 6) False (“July” means tháng Bảy; “August” means tháng Tám). 7) A (Yes, it is.)

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T distributes Worksheet 1 and explains the instructions for each exercise. T reads the instructions for exercises 2 and 7 and says: “Listen carefully. You will hear the word or sentence only once.”
Pupils
Ss read the instructions and ask: “Can we listen again?” T answers: “Yes, I will play it two times.”
Teacher
T plays the audio for exercise 2 and exercise 7. T walks around to help Ss who are slow. For exercises 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, T asks Ss to work in pairs and check each other’s answers.
Pupils
Ss listen and circle the answers. Ss work in pairs: “I think the answer is C. October.” / “Let’s check the true or false sentence.”
Teacher
T calls on Ss to give answers and writes them on the board. T asks: “Why is ‘July’ not ‘tháng Tám’?” to check understanding.
Pupils
Ss report answers: “Exercise 2 is D, September.” “Exercise 6 is False, because July is tháng Bảy.” Other Ss say “Agree” or “I think it is …”.
Teacher
T confirms the correct answers and gives feedback: “Good listening! Remember the difference between July and August.”
Pupils
Ss correct their worksheets with a different colour pen and write the correct answers.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 15 minutes

Let’s Talk and Let’s Sing: Our Sports Day

Aims

Ss use the pattern “Is your sports day in…?” and confirm information in pairs, then practise the song with new lyrics to reinforce the question and answer structure.

Content

Ss do Worksheet 2 (speaking card) in pairs. Person A asks “Is your sports day in October?”, Person B answers with real or imagined information, then A repeats the answer and B changes at least one piece of information (the month or the sport) and they switch roles. Then Ss sing the four-line chant with new lyrics, tap four beats per line, and change one piece of information after two rounds.
Chant lyrics: “Is your sports day in August?” / “No, it isn’t.” / “Is your sports day in November?” / “Yes, it is.”

Expected outcomes

Each pair writes two exchanges (A: Is your sports day in October? B: Yes, it is.) with one changed piece of information (for example, B: No, it isn’t. It’s in September.). Ss sing or chant the four lines with correct rhythm and change one month correctly, for example “Is your sports day in September? / Yes, it is.”

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T models the dialogue with a student and says: “I will ask. You answer with your real information or with an imagined person. Then I repeat the answer and you change one thing.” T gives Worksheet 2 to each pair.
Pupils
Ss watch and listen to the model. Ss ask: “Can we change the sport too?” T answers: “Yes, you can change the month or the sport.”
Teacher
T walks around and listens to pairs. T helps with pronunciation and asks Ss to ask again if they do not hear clearly. Then T plays the chant, models each line with the beat, and asks Ss to chant in two rounds. In round two, T asks Ss to change one month in the question.
Pupils
Pairs practise: A: “Is your sports day in October?” B: “Yes, it is.” Then B says: “No, it isn’t. It’s in September.” Ss chant: “Is your sports day in August? / No, it isn’t. / Is your sports day in November? / Yes, it is.”
Teacher
T asks four pairs to present their dialogues in front of the class. T asks the class: “Did the answer use the correct pattern?”
Pupils
Pairs present: “Is your sports day in October? – Yes, it is.” Others answer: “Yes, correct!” or “It should be ‘Is your sports day…’.”
Teacher
T praises the pairs and asks Ss to write the two exchanges on Worksheet 2 as homework practice. T says: “Your sentences are good. Keep practising the pattern.”
Pupils
Ss write two exchanges on Worksheet 2 and copy the best sentence into the notebook.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Fun Corner: Our Class Sports Day Calendar

Aims

Ss apply the months and the question pattern to a real situation by making a class sports day calendar and presenting it to the class.

Content

In groups of four, Ss make a small calendar for their sports day: each group chooses one month (July, August, September or October) and one sport (basketball, football or badminton). Ss write the sentence: “Our sports day is in [month]. We play [sport].” Ss then ask another group: “Is your sports day in [month]?” and answer “Yes, it is.” or “No, it isn’t.”

Expected outcomes

Each group has a poster with the calendar, one sentence “Our sports day is in … We play …”, and two questions and answers exchanged with another group.
