I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Identify and use correctly six topic words about traffic: pavement, helmet, pedestrian, crossing, passenger, road sign.
    • Pronounce the diphthongs /aɪ/ in 'bike' and /eɪ/ in 'train' correctly and distinguish them in the pairs ride–train and fine–lane.
    • Describe two safe behaviours shown in the picture of a traffic scene, using the target words.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss work individually to recall the English words from their Vietnamese meanings and check their own answers before the class discussion.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to read words aloud, compare their pronunciation, and give feedback to a partner.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use the target words to describe a traffic scene and write a short message about safe traffic behaviour.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to a word and identify it, read target words aloud, describe a picture using the unit vocabulary, and write a short message about traffic.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss recognise the meanings of six traffic words, pronounce the diphthongs /aɪ/ and /eɪ/ within one syllable, and distinguish ride–train and fine–lane.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss describe safe behaviours such as wearing a helmet and crossing at a marked crossing, and say why these actions protect pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Diligence: Ss practise the words and the sound contrast carefully until they can read them aloud clearly and accurately.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Lesson page on NeoEdu: neoedu.vn/learn/7/english/unit-7-a-closer-look-1 (presentation, examples and interactive exercises)
  • Projector or interactive board to show the unit vocabulary scene (safe crossing picture)
  • Audio recording of the target words (for exercise 4)
  • Word cards with the six target words and their Vietnamese meanings
  • Worksheet No. 1 (printed for each pair)

2. Students

  • Textbook Global Success 7, Unit 7, A Closer Look 1
  • Notebook, pen, pencil
  • Blank paper for the short writing task

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Look and Guess the Traffic Words

a) Aims

Ss get interested in the topic of traffic and activate prior knowledge before learning the new words.

b) Content

T shows the unit vocabulary scene (the safe crossing picture) and asks Ss to look at it and describe what they see. Ss answer orally using simple English. T then asks: 'What do you think the teenagers are doing?' and 'Where are they?'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss give 3 to 5 oral answers in English about the picture, such as 'Teenagers are riding bicycles.', 'They are at a crossing.', 'There are cars.' Ss are ready to learn the six target words.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the picture on the projector and says: 'Look at the picture carefully. What can you see? Work with your partner for 1 minute.'

    Students

    Ss look at the picture and think about what they can see.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around and listens to pairs. T helps with simple words when needed.

    Students

    Ss discuss with their partner. Possible answers: 'Teenagers are walking their bicycles.', 'They are on a marked crossing.', 'Cars are waiting.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3 pairs to share their answers. T writes useful words on the board, such as crossing, helmet, bicycle.

    Students

    Representatives of 3 pairs report their answers to the class. Other Ss listen and add ideas.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises good ideas and says: 'Today we will learn new words about traffic. Let us open our books at page 66.'

    Students

    Ss listen and understand the lesson aim.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Words in Context

a) Aims

Ss know the meaning, spelling and use of six traffic words and can use them in a complete sentence.

b) Content

Ss learn six words: pavement (vỉa hè), helmet (mũ bảo hiểm), pedestrian (người đi bộ), crossing (chỗ sang đường), passenger (hành khách), road sign (biển báo giao thông).
Task 1: Ss look at the word cards and read each word aloud after T.
Task 2: Ss cover the English side of the cards, recall each word from its Vietnamese meaning, then use it in a complete message about this unit, for example: 'Pedestrians walk on the pavement.'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can write the six words correctly with their meanings in their notebooks:

  • pavement – vỉa hè
  • helmet – mũ bảo hiểm
  • pedestrian – người đi bộ
  • crossing – chỗ sang đường
  • passenger – hành khách
  • road sign – biển báo giao thông
    Each S writes one complete sentence with a target word, for example: 'Please wear a helmet when you ride a bike.'
    Key idea: each word must be used with its own meaning, not replaced by a similar-looking word.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the word cards one by one and says: 'Listen and repeat. Then cover the English side and recall the word from its meaning.'

    Students

    Ss listen carefully and look at the cards.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T models pronunciation and asks Ss to repeat in chorus, then individually. T asks Ss to make one sentence with each word, using the phrase on the card.

    Students

    Ss repeat the words in chorus and individually. Possible sentences: 'Pedestrians cross at the crossing.', 'Passengers sit in the back seat.', 'Look at the road sign before you cross.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls 4 Ss to read their sentences aloud. T asks the class: 'Is the meaning correct? Is the word used correctly?'

    Students

    4 Ss read their sentences. Other Ss check the meaning and give feedback, for example: 'Yes, pedestrian means người đi bộ, so the sentence is correct.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the six words on the board and points out the key idea: each word has one meaning and must be used in the right context. T writes the words in the notebook.

    Students

    Ss copy the words and meanings into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Sounds /aɪ/ and /eɪ/

a) Aims

Ss pronounce the diphthongs /aɪ/ and /eɪ/ correctly and distinguish them in minimal pairs.

b) Content

T introduces the two diphthongs:

  • /aɪ/ in 'bike': the sound moves from an open vowel towards /ɪ/.
  • /eɪ/ in 'train': the sound begins nearer /e/.
    Both are diphthongs within one syllable. Ss practise the pairs ride–train and fine–lane. Ss do not split the glide into two syllables.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can read the words bike, ride, fine, train, lane with the correct sound:

  • bike, ride, fine: /aɪ/
  • train, lane: /eɪ/
    Ss can read the pairs ride–train and fine–lane and say which word has the sound /aɪ/ and which has the sound /eɪ/. Ss know: the sound is one syllable, not two.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes bike and train on the board and says: 'Listen to the two sounds. Put your hand on your chin. Do you feel the sound change?'

    Students

    Ss listen and repeat the two words after T.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the audio. Ss listen and repeat each word, then read the pairs ride–train and fine–lane in pairs. T monitors and corrects gently.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs. Partner A reads a word, Partner B says which sound it has. Example: 'Ride – /aɪ/.' 'Train – /eɪ/.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls 3 pairs to read the minimal pairs aloud. T asks the class to decide which sound they hear.

    Students

    3 pairs read aloud. The class answers: 'The first word has /aɪ/ and the second has /eɪ/.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: /aɪ/ moves from an open vowel towards /ɪ/; /eɪ/ begins nearer /e/; both are diphthongs within one syllable. T reminds Ss not to split the glide into two syllables.

    Students

    Ss write the two sounds and the example words in their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Vocabulary and Sound Check

a) Aims

Ss consolidate the meanings of the target words and the sounds /aɪ/ and /eɪ/ through matching, choice and speaking tasks.

Ex 7: Describe two safe behaviours shown in the picture.
Ex 8: Read aloud 'bike' and explain the sound. Then give one other example from the lesson.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:
Ex 1: pavement – vỉa hè; helmet – mũ bảo hiểm; pedestrian – người đi bộ; crossing – chỗ sang đường.
Ex 2: D (passenger = hành khách).
Ex 3: road sign.
Ex 4: C (helmet).
Ex 5: C (/aɪ/).
Ex 6: A and C.
Ex 7: Sample answer: 'The teenagers wear helmets. They walk their bicycles on a marked crossing, and cars wait behind them.' Ss should give 2 accurate details from the picture using the unit words.
Ex 8: Ss read 'bike' with /aɪ/ clearly and give one other example from the lesson, such as 'ride' or 'fine' with /aɪ/, or 'train' or 'lane' with /eɪ/. Ss explain the sound as one syllable with a glide.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T gives Worksheet No. 1 to each pair and explains: 'Work in pairs. Do Exercises 1 to 6 first. Then do Exercises 7 and 8 together.'

    Students

    Ss receive the worksheet and read the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the recording for Exercise 4 twice. T walks around, helps Ss with difficult words, and checks Ss' reading of Exercise 8.

    Students

    Ss complete the exercises in pairs. They listen to the recording, choose the answers, and practise speaking.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on 4 pairs to give answers. T asks Ss to read their description and the sound explanation aloud.

    Students

    Pairs give answers, such as 'Exercise 2 is D, passenger means hành khách.' and 'Exercise 5 is C, bike has /aɪ/.' They read their descriptions aloud.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T shows the answer key on the board and explains any mistakes. T praises Ss who used the target words correctly.

    Students

    Ss check their answers, correct mistakes, and record the right answers.

Activity 4: Application · 8 minutes

Safe on the Road: Our Traffic Message

a) Aims

Ss use the unit words and sounds to write and share a short message about safe traffic behaviour in real life.

b) Content

Ss write a short message (4 to 5 sentences) to a younger brother or sister about how to stay safe on the road. The message must include at least three target words, for example: helmet, pavement, crossing, pedestrian, passenger, road sign. Ss describe two safe behaviours, such as wearing a helmet and crossing at a marked crossing, and explain why they are safe. Ss then read their message to a partner.

c) Expected outcomes

Each S writes a message of 4 to 5 sentences, for example:
'Always wear a helmet when you ride a bike. Walk on the pavement, not on the road. Use the crossing when you cross the street, and look at the road sign first. Stay safe!'
The message uses at least three target words correctly and describes two safe behaviours. Ss can read the message clearly with the correct sounds /aɪ/ and /eɪ/.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Write a short safety message for your younger brother or sister. Use at least three words from today's lesson and describe two safe behaviours. You have 4 minutes.'

    Students

    Ss read the task and think about what to write.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around and checks spelling and word use. T reminds Ss to use the target words in the right meaning.

    Students

    Ss write their messages individually. Ss may ask T about spelling of words such as pedestrian or crossing.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks Ss to exchange messages with a partner. Partners read each other's messages aloud and check the target words.

    Students

    Ss read their messages to a partner. Partners give feedback, such as 'You used helmet correctly.' or 'Good, you described two safe behaviours.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T chooses 2 messages to read aloud to the class and praises Ss' use of target words. T summarises the key words and the two sounds /aɪ/ and /eɪ/.

    Students

    Ss listen and take note of corrections. They keep their messages for homework review.
