I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Identify who is speaking, where and why in a short dialogue about TV programmes.
    • Use vocabulary about Television (cartoon, documentary, channel, programme, viewer, educational, comedy, character) in context.
    • Use question words (what, where, when, who, why, how often) and the auxiliary do/does in questions such as "When does it start?".
    • Use the conjunctions and, but and so to join ideas, and explain why a choice is correct.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss guess the meaning of new words from the surrounding sentences before checking the vocabulary list, and correct their own mistakes by re-reading the context.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to ask and answer about TV programmes, change one piece of information in the dialogue and practise polite responses.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss choose the correct question word or conjunction by analysing the context, and create a new line that adds a detail about television.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read a short dialogue, answer comprehension questions, ask and answer about a TV programme, and write two suitable lines to continue the dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss recognise the Television vocabulary, the question forms with do/does, and the use of and, but, so in context.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all the exercises on time and check their answers against the evidence in the dialogue.
  • Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair work and finish their own part of the role-play before reporting to the class.
  • Honesty: Ss admit when they are unsure of an answer and explain their choice using the dialogue as evidence.
  • Kindness: Ss respond politely and encourage their partners when they make mistakes during speaking practice.

II. Teaching aids and materials

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Exploring the situation

a) Aims

Ss identify the speakers, the place and the purpose of the dialogue, and guess the meaning of new words from the context.

b) Content

T plays the recording or reads the original dialogue twice:
Nga: What is on Green Channel tonight?
Dan: A documentary about sea turtles.
Nga: What time does it start?
Dan: At half past six. It lasts thirty minutes.
Nga: I like animals, but I must finish my homework first.
Dan: I will watch it with my sister. We can talk about it tomorrow.
Tasks: (1) Who is speaking to whom? Where are they? What is the purpose of the talk? (2) Underline or highlight words related to Television. (3) Guess the meaning of documentary, channel, programme from the sentences around them. (4) Match the words with their Vietnamese meanings in the vocabulary list.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write in their notebooks:

  • Speakers: Nga and Dan (classmates or siblings, talking face to face or by phone).
  • Purpose: to talk about a TV programme on Green Channel tonight.
  • Television words: Green Channel, documentary, programme, watch, start, last.
  • Meanings: documentary – phim tài liệu (a film that gives real information about a topic); channel – kênh truyền hình (a TV station); programme – chương trình (a show on TV); cartoon – phim hoạt hình; viewer – người xem; educational – có tính giáo dục; comedy – phim hài; character – nhân vật.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: "Read the dialogue silently. Answer three questions: who, where and why. Then underline the TV words." T shows the guiding questions on the slide.

    Students

    Ss read the dialogue silently and get ready to work in pairs.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs to guess the meaning of new words from context and match them with the vocabulary list. T walks around and gives hints such as: "Look at the word before documentary."

    Students

    Ss work in pairs. Sample answers: "Nga and Dan are friends or classmates. They are at home or on the phone. They talk about a programme." Ss guess: "Documentary is a film about real things, like sea turtles."

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on a few pairs to report. T asks: "How did you know the meaning of channel?" T confirms the answers with the vocabulary list and corrects pronunciation (channel /ˈtʃænl/, documentary /ˌdɒkjuˈmentri/).

    Students

    Ss report: "Channel means a TV station, because Green Channel is a name of a station." Ss repeat the words after T.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: "When you do not know a word, read the sentences around it first. Then check the list." T reminds Ss to write the Television words in their notebooks.

    Students

    Ss copy the key words and their meanings into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Language in context

a) Aims

Ss recognise the question words, the auxiliary in questions and the conjunctions and, but, so, and explain why each one fits the context.

b) Content

Ss complete Worksheet 1 with the question words (what, where, when, who, why, how often), choose the correct auxiliary do or does for the question "When ___ it start?", and identify the conjunctions in the dialogue: "I like animals, but I must finish my homework first." and "I must finish my homework first, so I can watch TV." T explains that the clause after so shows the result, and that because and so should not be used together to join the same idea.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 1 with these answers:

  • what: asks about things (What is on Green Channel tonight?)
  • where: asks about place (Where is the channel?)
  • when: asks about time (When does it start?)
  • who: asks about people (Who is watching with you?)
  • why: asks about reasons (Why do you like this programme?)
  • how often: asks about frequency (How often do you watch TV?)
  • Auxiliary: does (When does it start?) because the subject is it and the verb is in the base form.
  • and adds information; but shows contrast (I like animals, but I must finish my homework first); so shows result (I must finish my homework, so I cannot watch TV now).

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T distributes Worksheet 1 and says: "Complete the table with the question words. Then find the correct auxiliary for the question about time."

    Students

    Ss receive Worksheet 1 and read the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work individually for three minutes, then compare with a partner. T asks: "Why do we use but here and not so?"

    Ss fill in the question words and choose does. Ss answer: "But shows a contrast, I like animals but I must do homework."

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T checks answers with the class. T asks one S to read a sentence with so and explain the result.

    Students

    Ss report: "So shows the result: I must finish my homework, so I cannot watch the documentary now." Other Ss give feedback.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T writes the key pattern on the board: When does + subject + verb (base form)? and reminds Ss: "Do not use because and so together for the same reason."

    Students

    Ss copy the pattern and the conjunction rules into their notebooks.

Changing the dialogue

a) Aims

Ss adapt the dialogue by changing one piece of information and continue it with two suitable lines, using polite responses.

b) Content

In pairs, Ss change one piece of information in the original dialogue (for example, the programme, the time or the channel) and practise the dialogue. Then they continue it with two suitable lines, including one new detail about television. Sample extension:
Nga: Which channel is the documentary on?
Dan: Green Channel. We can compare our notes tomorrow.

    Ss work in pairs, take turns to speak and check the grammar (question word, does/do, and/but/so).

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three pairs to perform in front of the class. Other Ss give the score with the rubric.

    Students

    Pairs perform. Sample response: "Which channel is the cartoon on? Green Channel. We can compare our notes tomorrow."

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
