III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Predicting the Topic

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about food and meals and predict the topic of the listening text from the unit title Food and drink.

b) Content

T shows pictures of breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes and asks: What do you usually eat for breakfast? How many main meals do you have a day? Ss then predict what the listening talk will be about, based on the title Food and drink.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss give 2–3 predictions in English, for example: 'The talk is about meals.' / 'The speaker talks about breakfast, lunch and dinner.' / 'The speaker describes her family's food.' Ss write the topic in their notebook.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the unit title Food and drink and the pictures. T asks: What do you see in the pictures? What is the topic of today's listening?

    Students

    Ss look at the pictures and the title, and think about the topic silently for 30 seconds.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs and tell each other what they usually eat for breakfast and lunch.

    Students

    Ss talk in pairs, for example: 'I usually eat rice and vegetables for lunch.' 'I have bread and milk for breakfast.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2–3 pairs to share their predictions with the class and writes the most likely topic on the board.

    Students

    Representative Ss say: 'The talk is about food and meals.' Other Ss add ideas, for example: 'It may be about mealtimes.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms that predicting from the topic helps Ss focus while listening, and introduces the aim: listen for the main ideas and details.

    Students

    Ss write the lesson title and the aim in their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Listening for Main Ideas and Details

a) Aims

Ss learn a listening strategy: listen first for the main idea, then listen again for names, times, places and reasons, and take short notes.

b) Content

T guides Ss through the strategy: (1) predict the topic from Food and drink; (2) listen once for the activity and the reason; (3) listen again for names, times and places; (4) take short notes; (5) check which spoken detail supports the answer. Guiding questions: Who is the main person? What is the main activity? Where does it take place? When does it take place? Why does the person do this?

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete a short note-taking grid in their notebooks:

  • Main person: Thao
  • Main activity: describes her family's eating habits
  • Place: at the school food club
  • Time: on Thursday morning
  • Reason: she wants classmates to compare meal routines respectfully
    Ss also write one key word that supports each answer, for example 'food club' for the place.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T presents the listening strategy on the board in five short steps and reads the guiding questions aloud. T says: Listen for the main idea first, then for the details.

    Students

    Ss copy the five steps and the five guiding questions into their notebooks.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the audio once. Then T plays it a second time and pauses after each key detail to let Ss write short notes.

    Students

    Ss listen individually and take short notes. Ss may ask: 'Can you play it again?' T replays the relevant part.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks Ss to compare their notes with a partner. T then asks the class: Who is the main person? Where does the activity take place? Which word tells you the time?

    Students

    Ss answer, for example: 'The main person is Thao.' 'It takes place at the school food club.' 'The time is Thursday morning.' Ss point out the key words they heard.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and stresses that the strategy is to listen for the main idea first, then for names, times and places. T reminds Ss that they should not guess when the detail is not in the audio.

    Students

    Ss underline the key words in their notes and record the strategy in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Quantities: Some, A Lot Of, How Many, How Much

a) Aims

Ss understand how to use some, a lot of / lots of, how many and how much with countable and uncountable nouns, and how containers make uncountable food countable.

b) Content

T writes examples on the board: some eggs, some flour, a lot of apples, lots of milk, how many eggs, how much milk, two bottles of water. T asks Ss to complete the example: 'We need ___ flour for the pancakes.' (Answer: some). T also introduces the question forms for prices: How much is...? (one item) and How much are...? (several items).

c) Expected outcomes

Ss copy the rules into their notebooks:

  • some + plural countable noun or uncountable noun: some eggs, some flour
  • a lot of / lots of + both types: a lot of apples, lots of milk
  • how many + plural countable noun; how much + uncountable noun
  • a container makes an uncountable food countable: two bottles of water
  • Do not add -s to rice, flour or water when speaking of the substance.
    Ss complete: 'We need some flour for the pancakes. Flour is uncountable; some fits.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the example We need ___ flour for the pancakes. on the board and asks Ss to choose a word from the box: some / many. T asks: Is flour countable or uncountable?

    Students

    Ss read the sentence and think about the answer for 30 seconds.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T presents the rules with clear examples and asks Ss to classify the nouns on the board as countable (C) or uncountable (U): eggs, flour, apples, milk, water, rice, bread.

    Students

    Ss work individually, then compare answers with a partner. Ss say: 'Eggs is C, flour is U.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on Ss to read their answers aloud and asks: Why do we say two bottles of water and not two waters? Why do we say how much rice, not how many rice?

    Students

    Ss answer, for example: 'Water is uncountable, so we use a container to count it.' 'Rice is uncountable, so we use how much.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the rules, checks pronunciation of the key words (flour /ˈflaʊə(r)/, eggs /egz/), and asks Ss to note the common mistake: adding -s to uncountable nouns.

    Students

    Ss repeat the key words after T and record the rules in their notebooks.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks Ss to read their answers aloud and asks for reasons: Why is statement b False? Why do we say how many eggs but how much milk?

    Ss answer, for example: 'The activity is at the school food club, not an airport.' 'Eggs are countable, milk is uncountable.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
