I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Use the eight topic words (landmark, palace, postcard, tower, square, delicious, friendly, exciting) in context to describe cities.
    • Explain the meaning of each new word from its context and collocations.
    • Distinguish the diphthongs /əʊ/ and /aʊ/ in words such as go, boat, home, now, town, house.
    • Explain their choice of answers and self-correct errors based on context.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own answers against the key, explain why an option is right or wrong, and correct their own pronunciation after listening to the model and to their recording.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to brainstorm, compare word groups, practise pronunciation together and give constructive feedback.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use context clues to choose meanings and write original sentences about cities they know.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and identify words with the target sounds, read aloud, match meanings, and write two original sentences about cities.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss learn eight topic words in meaningful groups, and recognise and produce the diphthongs /əʊ/ and /aʊ/ with clear glides and no separation into two syllables.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise repeating each word several times and record their own voice to compare with the model.
  • Responsibility: Ss complete the pair and group tasks on time and take responsibility for their own answers in the checking stage.
  • Kindness: Ss give supportive, specific feedback to a partner when correcting pronunciation.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Brainstorming about cities

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about cities and get ready to use the topic vocabulary of Unit 9.

b) Content

T asks Ss to think of a city they know (for example, Ha Noi or Hue) and to name things that people can see or do there. Ss write their ideas on the board in pairs.
Guiding questions:

  • What is a city in your country that you like?
  • What can you see there? What can you eat there?
  • How do people in this city feel?

c) Expected outcomes

A class list on the board, such as: Ha Noi – Hoan Kiem Lake, old streets, delicious pho, friendly people. Ss also form the first ideas about the topic words that they will learn in this lesson.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T introduces the topic 'Cities of the world' and asks: 'Which city do you like? Why?' T gives 1 minute for pairs to think.

    Students

    Ss look at the topic and think silently about a city they know.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs and list 3–5 things about a city. T walks around and helps with vocabulary in Vietnamese if needed.

    Students

    Pairs discuss and write their ideas on mini-whiteboards or notebooks. Possible answers: 'Hoan Kiem Lake', 'old streets', 'delicious food', 'friendly people'.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3 pairs to share their ideas and writes the key words on the board.

    Students

    Representatives from pairs read out their lists, e.g. 'In Hue, we can visit the Imperial Palace. The food is delicious.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the ideas and says: 'Today we will learn new words to talk about cities more exactly.' T writes the title 'A Closer Look 1' on the board.

    Students

    Ss listen and get ready for the new lesson.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Learning topic words in context

a) Aims

Ss understand the meaning and use of eight topic words through context, and group them by meaning and collocation.

b) Content

T presents the eight words: landmark (địa danh tiêu biểu), palace (cung điện), postcard (bưu thiếp), tower (tháp), square (quảng trường), delicious (ngon), friendly (thân thiện), exciting (thú vị, hào hứng).
T gives example sentences with real places and people:

  • Hoan Kiem Lake is a famous landmark of Ha Noi.
  • The Imperial Palace is a palace in Hue.
  • I send a postcard to my friend from Da Nang.
  • Ha Noi has a tall tower?
    Note for T: use real, familiar places only.
    Group the words:
  • Places: landmark, palace, tower, square
  • Food and people: delicious, friendly
  • Feeling and things: exciting, postcard
    T asks: 'Which words describe places? Which words describe people or food?'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss draw a small mind map with the title 'Cities' and four branches: Places (landmark, palace, tower, square), Food and people (delicious, friendly), Feelings and things (exciting, postcard). Ss write one example sentence for each group.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the eight flashcards and asks Ss to predict the meaning from the picture and the context. T says: 'Read the example sentences and find the meaning from the context, not from the shape of the word.'

    Students

    Ss look at the flashcards and read the example sentences silently.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs to match each word with its meaning and place it in a group in the mind map. T monitors and asks: 'Why do you think square means quảng trường here?'

    Students

    Pairs discuss the meanings. Possible answer: 'Because the sentence says a place in the city where people meet.' Pairs draw their mind maps.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on 2–3 pairs to present their mind maps and asks the class to check.

    Students

    Pairs present, e.g. 'We put delicious and friendly in the group Food and people because they describe food and people.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the meanings and corrects any mistakes. T emphasises: 'Learn words with their context and collocations, not alone.'

    Students

    Ss correct their mind maps and copy the final version into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Hearing and producing /əʊ/ and /aʊ/

a) Aims

Ss recognise and produce the two diphthongs /əʊ/ and /aʊ/ and sort words by sound.

b) Content

T models the sounds: /əʊ/ as in go, boat, home and /aʊ/ as in now, town, house. T explains that both sounds glide from one mouth position to another and must be said as one syllable.
Task: Ss listen, repeat and sort the words into two groups.
Group A (/əʊ/): go, boat, home
Group B (/aʊ/): now, town, house
T asks: 'Does the mouth move at the end of the sound? Is it one syllable or two?'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss have a correct list of the two groups in their notebooks, and a note such as: '/əʊ/ – the lips become round at the end (go). /aʊ/ – the mouth opens wide and moves to a closed position (now).'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the six words on the board in two columns (without the groups) and plays the audio. T asks Ss to listen for the sound at the end of each word.

    Students

    Ss listen and watch the teacher's mouth movement.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to repeat chorally and then individually. Pairs check each other: one says a word, the partner points to the correct group. T listens and helps with mouth position.

    Students

    Ss repeat and sort the words in pairs. Possible answer: 'Go is in Group A because the sound changes to /ʊ/ at the end, like a round mouth.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 3 pairs to read the words in each group aloud and checks the sounds.

    Students

    Pairs say the words aloud, e.g. 'home – /həʊm/, one syllable' and 'town – /taʊn/, one syllable'.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: 'Both sounds glide. Say them in one syllable, not two. Do not separate the sounds.' T plays the audio once more for self-check.

    Students

    Ss check their groups, correct any mistakes and write the key note in their notebooks.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 10 minutes
