I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Name and use the vocabulary of the topic "Natural wonders of Viet Nam" (waterfall, island, cave, desert, suncream, plaster, backpack, scissors, compass, sleeping bag) in context.
    • Distinguish the sounds /t/ and /d/ in words and short phrases.
    • Choose the correct answer and self-correct errors by using the context of the sentence.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own pronunciation by recording their voice and comparing it with the model, then correct their mistakes without waiting for the teacher.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to match words, read aloud and share their answers clearly in English.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use context clues to choose the correct meaning and write original sentences about places and things they know.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to words, read and say them aloud, and write two original sentences with topic vocabulary.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce /t/ and /d/ correctly, use topic vocabulary with correct meaning, and follow the sentence pattern "Put ... in your backpack."

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all listening, pronunciation and writing tasks and repeat words until their pronunciation is clear.
  • Responsibility: Ss record and compare their own voice honestly and take responsibility for correcting their mistakes.
  • Honesty: Ss give their own answers and say "I am not sure" when they do not know a word, instead of guessing without reason.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Lesson plan, textbook Global Success 6 (Unit 5, A Closer Look 1), projector or interactive board.
  • NeoEdu lesson page for interactive exercises and listening audio: neoedu.vn/learn/6/english/unit-5-a-closer-look-1

  • Audio recording of the words tent, waterfall, boat, day, desert, food and of the three-question listening items.
  • Word cards for matching and a small bag or box with real objects (backpack, scissors, plaster, suncream, compass).

2. Students

  • Textbook, notebook, pencil, eraser, ruler.
  • Pens or pencils for matching and writing tasks.
  • Mobile phone or device for recording their own voice (if available), or headphones if the class uses NeoEdu.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Guessing the natural wonders

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about natural places and get ready for the topic "Natural wonders of Viet Nam".

Worksheet 1 is used in this activity.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write the meaning of each word in their notebooks and make two example sentences with the words in the box. Expected example: "Put the plasters in your backpack." Ss also know that "scissors" is a plural noun and use "a pair of scissors" correctly.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the flashcards and says each word clearly. T asks Ss to repeat in chorus, then in groups. T says: "Listen to the word and the context. Do not translate word by word."

    Students

    Ss listen, repeat chorally and then in groups of four, and look at the context sentence on the board.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Worksheet 1 to each pair. T asks: "Which word is a place? Which word is an object?" T walks around and checks the matching work.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs to match each word with its picture and meaning. Expected answers: waterfall – thác nước; desert – sa mạc; suncream – kem chống nắng; scissors – kéo. Ss write one example sentence with "backpack" and one with "compass".

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: "What is in your backpack when you go hiking?" T invites three pairs to read their sentences aloud and corrects errors on the board.

    Students

    Ss read their sentences aloud. Expected sentences: "I have a compass in my backpack.", "We need suncream on a hot day." Other Ss listen and say "Yes" or "No" and give reasons.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T checks the meaning of the words with the class and writes the key words on the board. T reminds Ss: "Learn words with their context. Example: We need suncream when we go to a desert."

    Students

    Ss copy the key words and the example sentences into their notebooks and correct their own worksheets.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Pronunciation: the sounds /t/ and /d/

a) Aims

Ss can tell the difference between /t/ and /d/ and pronounce the final sounds in tent and food clearly.

b) Content

Group A (/t/): tent, waterfall, boat. Group B (/d/): day, desert, food.
Main points: the tip of the tongue touches the area behind the upper teeth and then releases. /t/ has no voice; /d/ has voice. Keep the final consonant in tent and food; do not add a vowel after it.
Practise slowly first, then link the words in phrases. Note for American and British English: the /t/ in water may sound like a quick flap. This is a valid variation; compare the two sounds with clear initial sounds such as tent and day.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can say each word of Group A and Group B with the correct sound and record their voice. Ss can name which group a word belongs to, for example: "Tent has /t/ and day has /d/."

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the two groups on the board and explains the mouth position in simple words. T says: "Put your tongue behind your upper teeth. For /t/, do not use your voice. For /d/, use your voice."

    Students

    Ss watch and listen carefully. Ss put their hands on their throats to feel the voice for /d/.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the audio. T asks Ss to listen to each word, repeat it and record their voice (or repeat in pairs). T walks around and listens to the final sounds in tent and food.

    Students

    Ss listen, repeat and record. Then they listen to their recordings and compare with the model with their partner.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: "Which word has /t/? Which word has /d/?" T calls on three Ss to say the words and make a short phrase, for example: "a tent by the river" and "food in the desert".

    Students

    Ss answer: "Tent has /t/.", "Day has /d/." Ss say the phrases aloud. Expected phrase: "food in the desert".

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the sounds and says that the differences are important when we speak. T reminds Ss to listen to the final sound and not to add a vowel.

    Students

    Ss note the two groups of words in their notebooks and mark the sounds they had trouble with.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T introduces the exercises and says: "Listen first. Then choose or match. Explain your answer with a reason." T plays Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 on the NeoEdu page or from the audio.

    Students

    Ss open their textbooks and prepare pens. Ss read the questions silently.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays each listening twice. T asks Ss to work in pairs for Exercises 3 to 6 and to write their answers. T checks the pairs who are still stuck.

    Students

    Ss listen and choose the answers. Ss work in pairs to match and choose. Expected quick check: Ss say "Tent" for Exercise 1, "Desert" for Exercise 2.

  3. Teacher

Task 3 (homework preparation). Ss imagine a trip to a national park. They list five things they will take in their backpack.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write two correct sentences. Each correct sentence scores 1 point for meaning and grammar. Ss read six words aloud with clear final sounds (1 point) and say a sentence with one word correctly (1 point). Example: "I will take a compass and suncream in my backpack." Scoring: teacher gives 2 points for each task, for correct meaning and clear sound.

d) Organisation

    T calls on four Ss to read their sentences in front of the class. T asks the class to say "Good" or "Let's correct it" and to explain the correction.

    Students

    Ss read their sentences. Other Ss listen and give feedback with reasons, for example: "You need the plural 'scissors' here."

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T gives feedback on meaning, grammar and pronunciation. T says: "Good job. Remember to check the context and the final sound when you choose a word." T sets the homework.
