I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • read, say and use the words November (tháng Mười một), December (tháng Mười hai), sports day (ngày hội thể thao) and race (cuộc đua).
  • ask and answer 'When is your sports day?' with 'It is in + month'.
  • use 'Is your sports day in…?' and answer 'Yes, it is' or 'No, it isn't'.
  • use 'in' before months and 'on' before days of the week.
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and choose the words and the sentence they hear, say the question 'When is your sports day?' and the answer 'It is in November', and write two exchanges of the dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four new words correctly, recognise the difference between 'in' with months and 'on' with days, and arrange the words into a correct sentence 'It is in November.'

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the new words by themselves, cover the meanings and try to recall them before checking with the teacher or the cards.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about their sports day, listen to their partners and take turns fairly during the game.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use gestures, pictures and real objects to remember the meanings of new words, and make up their own sports day information in the wrap-up activity.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss actively join all activities, finish the worksheet tasks on time and try to write their dialogue lines accurately.
  • Kindness: Ss help their partners who are slower, correct each other gently and praise each other's answers during pair work.

II. Resources and materials

1. Teacher

  • Slides or board showing the words November, December, sports day, race and a calendar of the twelve months
  • Flashcards of the four new words and a set of month cards from January to December
  • Audio track of Unit 9 Lesson 2 (listening exercises 2 and 7)
  • Pictures or real objects: a calendar, a sports medal, a running shoe, a flag for a race
  • NeoEdu lesson page with the lecture, examples and interactive exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/4/english/unit-9-lesson-2 (used in the Explore and Practice activities)

2. Pupils

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 15 minutes

New words: November, December, sports day, race

Aims

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

Content

Look, listen and repeat. T shows flashcards of the four words, models the pronunciation, then guides Ss to play a 'cover and guess' game. For 'race', T runs in place and Ss say the word. Ss do not spell the words letter by letter.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four words correctly and match each word with its meaning: November – tháng Mười một; December – tháng Mười hai; sports day – ngày hội thể thao; race – cuộc đua.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the flashcard 'November' and says the word clearly. T says: 'Listen and repeat.' T repeats the four words two or three times, pointing to each card.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the cards, listen carefully and repeat the words in chorus, then individually.

  2. Teacher

    T uses gestures and objects: T points to the calendar for 'November' and 'December', shows a medal for 'sports day', and runs in place for 'race'. T asks: 'What is this?' and waits for answers.

    Pupils

    Ss guess the meaning with the help of gestures and objects. Expected answers: 'Race!' 'Sports day!' 'Month!'

  3. Teacher

    T covers the meanings and points to a card. T asks: 'What does race mean?' Ss answer in Vietnamese or English. T then plays the 'cover and guess' game: a student covers the word and says its meaning.

    Pupils

    Ss take turns covering the cards, say the words and their meanings. Expected answers: 'Race means cuộc đua.' 'December means tháng Mười hai.'

  4. Teacher

    T reviews the four words using the NeoEdu lesson page or the slide, and gives a quick oral check with 'Point and say' with the picture of each word.

    Pupils

    Ss point to the picture and say the correct word. Ss then copy the four words and their meanings into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 15 minutes

Sentence pattern: When is your sports day?

Aims

Ss understand and use the question 'When is your sports day?' and the answer 'It is in + month', and know how to answer 'Is your sports day in…?'.

Content

Listen, point and say. T presents the dialogue 'A: When is your sports day? B: It is in November.' T explains that 'in' is used before months and that 'Is your sports day in…?' is a yes/no question. Ss practise the dialogue in pairs with the month cards.

Expected outcomes

Ss say the dialogue with correct stress and intonation and answer 'Yes, it is' or 'No, it isn't' to 'Is your sports day in November?' correctly.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T writes the dialogue on the board and says: 'Listen and point to the question and the answer.' T plays the audio or reads the dialogue twice.

    Pupils

    Ss listen, point to the question and the answer on the book and repeat after T.

  2. Teacher

    T asks: 'Is your sports day in November?' T answers 'Yes, it is.' Then T asks: 'Is your sports day in December?' and T answers 'No, it isn't.' T models the pattern with 'in' before months.

    Pupils

    Ss answer T's question in chorus, then individually. Expected answers: 'Yes, it is.' 'No, it isn't.'

  3. Teacher

    T asks pairs to practise the dialogue. T walks around and checks the stress in 'When is your sports day?' and the answer 'It is in November.'

    Pupils

    Pairs take turns asking 'When is your sports day?' and answering with a month from the card. Expected answer: 'It is in August.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises: 'When is… = a question with a month answer. Is… in…? = a yes/no question. Use in before months.' T asks Ss to write the pattern in their notebooks.

    Pupils

    Ss copy the key patterns into their notebooks and repeat them after T.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 12 minutes

Let's play: Month cards game
