I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • use the six target words (comedy, documentary, frightening, moving, plot, review) with their meanings (phim hài, phim tài liệu, gây sợ hãi, gây xúc động, cốt truyện, bài nhận xét) in context about films
  • pronounce the two target vowel sets /ɪə/ in near and /eə/ in care and keep them distinct
  • write two accurate sentences about films using comedy and frightening, and explain their meanings

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss record new words in their notebooks, self-check with the cover-and-recall technique, and use the NeoEdu lesson page to review at home.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to match words, practise pronunciation, and share their sentences about films with the class.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss decide which word fits each film-related situation and create their own sentences to describe films they have watched.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to a word, identify it, say it aloud, and write a short message about films using the target vocabulary.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary): Ss learn the meanings and spelling of six film-related words and pronounce near and care with the correct vowel contrast, following the British model taught in the lesson.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise repeating the target words and sounds until they can say them clearly, and they complete all exercises in class and at home.
  • Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair work, check their partner's answers respectfully, and finish their individual tasks on time.
  • Honesty: Ss report their own pronunciation and self-check results truthfully, and they admit when they are unsure of a meaning.

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Guess the Film Type

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about films and get ready for the topic language of Unit 8.

b) Content

T shows four pictures of different films (a funny scene, a nature or real-life scene, a dark scary scene, a touching scene) and asks Ss to guess the type of each film. Ss call out ideas in English or Vietnamese, and T introduces the topic 'Films'.
Guiding questions:

  • What type of film is this?
  • Do you like watching films like this? Why?

c) Expected outcomes

Ss identify the film types in the pictures and share one film they like, for example: 'I like comedies because they make me laugh.' The class is ready to learn the new words comedy, documentary, frightening, moving, plot and review.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the four pictures on the screen and asks: 'What type of film do you think this is?' T gives a short example: 'This is a comedy. It makes people laugh.'

    Students

    Ss look at the pictures and listen to the instructions. They think about the answers for a few seconds.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, encourages quiet Ss and accepts both English and Vietnamese answers.

    Students

    Ss guess freely, for example: 'It is a funny film.' / 'It is scary.' / 'It is a film about nature.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3–4 Ss to share their guesses and asks one follow-up question: 'Which film would you like to watch this weekend?'

    Students

    Ss answer, for example: 'I would like to watch the comedy because I like funny films.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the ideas and writes the topic 'Films' on the board. T tells Ss that the lesson will help them talk about film types, the plot of a film, and reviews.

    Students

    Ss copy the title 'Unit 8: Films – A Closer Look 1' into their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Words in Context: Film Vocabulary

a) Aims

Ss learn the meaning, spelling and use of six film-related words: comedy (phim hài), documentary (phim tài liệu), frightening (gây sợ hãi), moving (gây xúc động), plot (cốt truyện), review (bài nhận xét).

b) Content

Ss learn each word with its meaning and a useful phrase. Ss first match the words to meanings, then use the cover-and-recall technique: cover the English word, say the meaning, and recall the word. Finally, Ss use the words in a complete message about this unit.
Guiding questions:

  • What does comedy mean?
  • What is the difference between a comedy and a documentary?
  • Which word means 'cốt truyện'?

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can state the meaning of each word:

  • comedy – phim hài
  • documentary – phim tài liệu
  • frightening – gây sợ hãi
  • moving – gây xúc động
  • plot – cốt truyện
  • review – bài nhận xét
    Ss write each word in their notebook with a useful phrase, for example: 'a funny comedy', 'a documentary about animals', 'a frightening scene', 'a moving ending', 'the plot of the film', 'a review of the film'.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T puts the word cards on the board in two columns (English words and Vietnamese meanings) in mixed order. T reads each word aloud and asks Ss to repeat. T explains the task: 'Match each word with its meaning, then cover the English words and recall them.'

    Students

    Ss listen, repeat the six words after T, and look at the board to understand the task.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs and match the words to meanings in their notebooks. T then gives a cover-and-recall challenge: 'Cover the English side. What is the word for phim hài?'

    Students

    Pairs match the words. Possible answers: comedy – phim hài; documentary – phim tài liệu; frightening – gây sợ hãi; moving – gây xúc động; plot – cốt truyện; review – bài nhận xét. Ss take turns recalling the words, for example: 'Phim tài liệu is documentary.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on several pairs to read their matches aloud. T asks: 'Which word describes a film that makes you cry?' and 'Which word is a short written comment about a film?'

    Students

    Ss answer: 'Moving describes a film that makes you cry.' and 'A review is a short written comment about a film.' Ss make one sentence with a useful phrase, for example: 'The plot of this film is very interesting.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the correct meanings and writes the six words and phrases on the board. T reminds Ss not to swap the meanings of words that look similar, and asks them to record the words with their phrases in their notebooks.

    Students

    Ss correct any mistakes, copy the words and phrases into their notebooks, and read them aloud once more.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Pronunciation: /ɪə/ and /eə/

a) Aims

Ss pronounce the target vowel sets /ɪə/ in near and /eə/ in care and recognise the contrast between them, following the British model taught in the lesson.

b) Content

T models the two words near and care and explains how to produce each vowel. Ss listen, repeat and then say the words in short chains.
Guiding questions:

  • Which vowel do you hear in near?
  • Which vowel do you hear in care?
  • How does the vowel in care start and move?

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can say:

  • near with /ɪə/: start with a closer front vowel and move towards /ə/
  • care with /eə/: start with a more open vowel and move towards /ə/
    Ss can explain the contrast: 'In near the vowel starts close, in care it starts more open.' Ss keep the two sounds distinct when repeating the words.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes near and care on the board and says the words slowly. T explains: 'Near starts with a closer front vowel. Care starts with a more open vowel. Both end with /ə/.' T asks Ss to listen carefully.

    Students

    Ss listen to T and watch the mouth movements. They prepare to repeat the words.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the model on the NeoEdu page or says the words, and asks Ss to repeat chorally and individually. T corrects by gently modelling the sound again.

    Students

    Ss repeat near and care several times, first in chorus, then individually. They whisper the two words to check the difference between the vowels.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 3–4 Ss to read the words aloud and explain the difference. T checks whether they can keep the two sounds distinct.

    Students

    Ss say the words and explain, for example: 'Near has a closer vowel at the start. Care has a more open vowel at the start.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the rule: near – /ɪə/ and care – /eə/ in the British model; regional accents vary, but Ss should keep the two target sets distinct. T reminds Ss to practise at home.

    Students

    Ss write the two sounds in their notebooks and note the key tip: start near closer, start care more open, then move towards /ə/.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 8 minutes

Vocabulary and Listening Check

a) Aims

Ss consolidate the meaning and spelling of the six words and identify words by listening.

b) Content

Ss complete Worksheet 1 in pairs, with exercises 1 to 4 from the textbook. Ss match words and meanings, choose the word meaning cốt truyện, complete a word from its meaning, and listen to identify a word.
Worksheet 1 is used for this activity.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. comedy – phim hài; documentary – phim tài liệu; frightening – gây sợ hãi; moving – gây xúc động
  2. Đáp án C (plot = cốt truyện)
  3. review (the meaning is bài nhận xét)
  4. Đáp án B (the recording says documentary)
    Ss check their answers and correct any mistakes in their notebooks.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T distributes Worksheet 1 to each pair and explains the four exercises. T plays the audio once for exercise 4 and says that Ss will listen again.

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and ask questions if anything is unclear.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors the pairs, helps weaker pairs with hints, and plays the audio a second time for exercise 4.

    Students

    Pairs complete exercises 1–3 and listen to the recording for exercise 4. They discuss their answers before writing them down.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on different pairs to give answers for each exercise and asks the class to agree or disagree.

    Students

    Ss report answers, for example: 'Exercise 2 is C, plot.' 'Exercise 4 is B, documentary, because I heard documentary.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and asks Ss to correct their worksheets. T highlights the key words and their meanings.

    Students

    Ss correct their answers and record any new mistakes in their notebooks.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 5 minutes

Meaning and Sound Check

a) Aims

Ss check their understanding of word meanings and the target vowel sounds.

b) Content

Ss answer exercises 5, 6 and 8 from the textbook. In exercise 5, Ss choose the vowel in care. In exercise 6, Ss select the correctly matched meanings. In exercise 8, Ss read the words aloud and explain the sound contrast.
Guiding questions:

  • In the British model, which vowel occurs in care?
  • Which meanings are correct in exercise 6?
  • How do you pronounce care and explain the sound contrast?

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:
5. Đáp án B (care uses /eə/ in the British model taught here)
6. Đáp án A and C (comedy – phim hài; frightening – gây sợ hãi)
8. Ss read care with /eə/ and explain: 'It starts more open and moves towards /ə/. The vowel in near starts closer.' Ss may give a second example from the lesson, such as near.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes exercises 5, 6 and 8 on the board and reads the instructions. T models the reading of care in exercise 8.

    Students

    Ss listen to T and read the exercises silently.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to answer exercises 5 and 6 individually, then to read care and near aloud in exercise 8 with a partner.

    Students

    Ss choose answers, for example: 'Exercise 5 is B.' 'Exercise 6 is A and C.' Partners listen to each other and give feedback.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites a few Ss to read their answers and to explain the sound contrast in exercise 8. T asks the class to comment on each pronunciation.

    Students

    Ss report answers and explain, for example: 'Care starts more open, then moves to /ə/.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and notes the common mistake: choosing a meaning that looks similar but is not correct. T reminds Ss to check the meaning of each word.

    Students

    Ss correct their answers and note the correct meanings in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 5 minutes

Talk About Your Favourite Film

a) Aims

Ss use the target vocabulary and pronunciation to talk and write about a film they know, in a real-life situation.

Guiding questions:

  • What type of film do you like? Why?
  • What is the plot of your favourite film?
  • Would you recommend the film to your friends? Why?

c) Expected outcomes

Each pair holds a short conversation of 4–6 turns and uses at least three target words.
