I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • identify and use the eight topic words: racket (vợt), goggles (kính bơi), equipment (dụng cụ), competition (cuộc thi), winner (người thắng), marathon (cuộc chạy ma-ra-tông), aerobics (thể dục nhịp điệu), referee (trọng tài).
  • use the collocations play badminton/chess, do aerobics/karate, go swimming/running correctly.
  • pronounce the vowels /e/ (as in ten, bed, red) and /æ/ (as in cat, racket, match) and distinguish them in minimal pairs.
  • explain their choices in listening and reading tasks based on context, and self-correct their mistakes.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss monitor their own pronunciation by recording themselves, comparing with the model and revising until the target sounds are clear.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to share word meanings, ask and answer questions, and give peer feedback on pronunciation.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use context clues to choose the correct meaning and write original sentences with the new words.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and identify words, read words aloud, talk about sports they play, and write two original sentences using topic words.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss recognise the /e/ and /æ/ sounds, use the correct verbs (play, do, go) with sports, and apply the countability of equipment (some equipment, not a equipment).

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise the minimal pairs repeatedly at home and in class until they can pronounce each word clearly.
  • Responsibility: Ss complete each task on time, check their own answers against the key, and correct their mistakes honestly.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Projector or interactive board with the slides for the lesson
  • Audio recording of the words in Exercises 1, 2 and 8 (ten, bed, red, cat, racket, match)
  • Word cards with the eight topic words and their Vietnamese meanings
  • Mouth-position diagram for /e/ and /æ/
  • Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 (printed, one set per group)
  • NeoEdu learning page: neoedu.vn/learn/6/english/unit-8-a-closer-look-1 (lesson presentation, examples and interactive exercises)

2. Students

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 4 minutes

Guess the Sport

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge of sports and games and get ready to learn the topic words.

b) Content

T mimes a sport (badminton, swimming, running, chess). Ss guess the sport and say the full sentence, e.g. 'You play badminton.' Then T asks: 'What sports do you play? What equipment do you need?'
Questions:

  • What sport is this?
  • Do you play badminton? What do you use?
  • Do you go swimming? What do you wear to protect your eyes?

c) Expected outcomes

Ss name at least four sports and use the verbs play, do or go correctly. Ss identify the idea of 'equipment' (e.g. a racket, goggles) as things needed for a sport, which leads into the lesson.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T introduces the game 'Guess the Sport' and mimes the first sport. T says: 'Let's play a guessing game. Are you ready?'

    Students

    Ss listen carefully and get ready to guess.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T mimes three or four sports. T monitors and gives hints if Ss are stuck.

    Students

    Ss raise their hands and answer in full sentences, e.g. 'You play badminton.' Expected answers: 'You go swimming.' 'You play chess.' 'You go running.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'What do you need for badminton?' and 'What do you wear when you go swimming?'

    Students

    Ss answer: 'You need a racket and a shuttlecock.' 'You wear goggles.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises Ss and writes the three verbs on the board: play (badminton, chess), do (aerobics, karate), go (swimming, running). T says: 'Today we will learn more words about sports and equipment.'

    Students

    Ss copy the verbs and the lesson title into their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Topic Words and Collocations

a) Aims

Ss learn the meanings, collocations and uses of the topic words and understand how to use equipment (uncountable) in sentences.

b) Content

T presents eight topic words: racket (vợt), goggles (kính bơi), equipment (dụng cụ), competition (cuộc thi), winner (người thắng), marathon (cuộc chạy ma-ra-tông), aerobics (thể dục nhịp điệu), referee (trọng tài). T groups the words by collocation and meaning:

  • play + badminton, chess
  • do + aerobics, karate
  • go + swimming, running
    T explains: 'Equipment is not countable. We say some equipment, not an equipment.' T gives the example: 'I play badminton with a racket and a shuttlecock.'
    Questions:
  • Which verb do we use with badminton? (play)
  • Can we say 'an equipment'? (No, we say 'some equipment'.)
  • What does a racket do? (It hits the shuttlecock.)
  • Why do swimmers wear goggles? (To protect their eyes.)
    Ss complete Worksheet 1 in pairs.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 1 correctly. Ss write the three collocation groups and one correct sentence with equipment (e.g. 'We need some equipment for the match.'). Ss explain: a racket is used to hit a shuttlecock; goggles protect the eyes when swimming.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the word cards and the slide with the three collocation groups. T says: 'Work in pairs. Read the words and complete Worksheet 1. Use the picture clues and the context.'

    Students

    Ss take Worksheet 1 and check the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors pairs and helps with difficult words. T asks: 'Is equipment countable?'

    Students

    Ss discuss and complete the table. Expected answer: 'No, it is uncountable. We say some equipment.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two pairs to read their answers aloud and asks: 'What does goggles mean? Why do we need goggles?'

    Students

    Pair 1 reads the collocations: 'play badminton, do aerobics, go swimming.' Pair 2 answers: 'Goggles (kính bơi) protect our eyes when we swim.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and writes the key points on the board: play + badminton/chess; do + aerobics/karate; go + swimming/running; equipment is uncountable (some equipment); racket = vợt; goggles = kính bơi.

    Students

    Ss correct their worksheets and copy the key points.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 9 minutes

Sounds /e/ and /æ/

a) Aims

Ss recognise and produce the vowel sounds /e/ and /æ/ and tell them apart in minimal pairs.

b) Content

T models the words:
Group A (/e/): ten, bed, red
Group B (/æ/): cat, racket, match
T explains: /e/ is pronounced with a medium-open mouth; /æ/ is pronounced with a wider open mouth and a lower tongue position. T compares the minimal pair pen (/e/) and pan (/æ/).
Note: The book uses /e/ (British style). Some American materials use /ɛ/ for the vowel in bed. Both are acceptable.
Questions:

  • Which word has the sound /æ/? (cat, racket, match)
  • Is the mouth wider in pan or pen? (pan)
    Ss repeat the words, then record themselves and compare with the model.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the words in Group A and Group B correctly. Ss tell the difference between pen and pan and explain that the mouth is wider for /æ/. Ss record a short sample and identify one sound they need to improve.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T plays the audio of the two groups and asks Ss to listen carefully. T says: 'Listen and repeat. Then record your voice and compare.'

    Students

    Ss listen to the audio and prepare to repeat.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T models each word slowly and points to the mouth diagram. T asks Ss to repeat in chorus, then individually.

    Students

    Ss repeat the words in chorus and individually, and record their voices on their phones or devices if available. Expected problem: Ss pronounce /e/ and /æ/ as the same Vietnamese sound.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three Ss to say the minimal pairs: 'pen – pan', 'bed – bad', 'red – rad'. T asks: 'Which sound is wider?'

    Students

    Ss say the pairs aloud. Expected answer: 'The sound /æ/ in pan is wider.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: /e/ = ten, bed, red (medium-open mouth); /æ/ = cat, racket, match (wider mouth, lower tongue). T reminds Ss not to merge the two sounds into one Vietnamese sound.

    Students

    Ss write the two sound symbols and one example for each in their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 12 minutes

Listening, Meaning and Pronunciation Check

a) Aims

Ss consolidate the sounds and vocabulary by completing the exercises in the book and explaining their answers.

b) Content

Exercise 6: Choose the correct meaning of 'referee'. A. người thắng; B. trọng tài; C. cuộc chạy ma-ra-tông.
Questions for Ss to explain: 'Why is the answer B?' 'How did you choose the meaning?'

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. B (ten)
  2. A (racket)
  3. competition – cuộc thi; winner – người thắng; marathon – cuộc chạy ma-ra-tông; aerobics – thể dục nhịp điệu
  4. C (racket)
  5. aerobics
  6. B (trọng tài)
    Ss explain each answer by using the context or the sound they heard, and correct any wrong answer after the key is shown.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T gives out Worksheet 2 and says: 'Do the exercises individually first, then check with your partner. You must explain your answers.'

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and work individually for two minutes.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the audio for Exercises 1 and 2 twice. T monitors and notices common errors.

    Students

    Ss listen, choose the answers and check with a partner. Expected answers: 1 – B; 2 – A.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on Ss to give answers and asks: 'How do you know it is ten, not cat?' and 'Why is referee not winner?'

    Students

    Ss answer: 'I hear the short /e/ sound in ten.' 'Referee means trọng tài in this topic.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T shows the answer key on the board and corrects mistakes. T reminds Ss: 'Use the context to choose the meaning, and check the sound before you choose.'

    Students

    Ss check their answers, correct mistakes in a different colour and write the correct answers.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Create and Read Aloud

a) Aims

Ss use the topic words in original sentences and practise pronunciation in real speaking.

b) Content

Task 1 (Exercise 7): Write two original sentences using two different words from this lesson. Example answers: 'My racket is in the bag.' 'The referee checks the equipment before the match.'
Task 2 (Exercise 8): Read these words aloud, then use one in a sentence: ten, bed, red, cat, racket, match.
Questions: 'Can you say a sentence with racket?' 'Which word has the sound /æ/?'
Task 3 (optional, homework): Record yourself reading the words and send the recording to T.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write two correct original sentences (2 points: 1 point for each sentence with correct meaning and grammar). Ss read the six words with clear target sounds and final consonants (1 point), and say one sentence with rhythm and meaning (1 point). Scoring is for teacher reference only; accents are accepted when they are clear and consistent.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T explains the two tasks and shows the scoring criteria: 'Write two sentences, then read the words and make one sentence aloud. I will give you two points for each task.'

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and the scoring criteria.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, checks sentences and listens to Ss reading. T gives quick feedback on the sounds and the stress.

    Students

    Ss write two sentences in their notebooks, then read the six words aloud in pairs and say one sentence each. Expected sentence: 'I play badminton with a racket.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three Ss to read their sentences aloud and asks the class: 'Did he or she use the correct sound?'

    Students

    Ss read their sentences. The class gives feedback, e.g. 'Good! The /æ/ sound in racket is clear.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises Ss and summarises the key points: the meanings of the topic words, the correct verbs with sports, the countability of equipment and the /e/ and /æ/ sounds. T assigns the homework.

    Students

    Ss note the key points and the homework in their notebooks.
