  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use the target words to build their own sentences about festivals in Vietnam and other countries.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and read the target words, say them aloud with correct stress, and write meaningful sentences about festivals.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary): Ss know the meanings of six topic words, use them in phrases, and identify the stressed syllable in two-syllable words.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise the words and stress patterns regularly, repeat them until they can recall them without support.
  • Responsibility: Ss complete their worksheet individually and take part fully in pair and group work.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 14 minutes

Learning the Topic Words

a) Aims

Ss learn the meanings and use of six topic words: parade, feast, costume, fireworks, celebrate, annual.

b) Content

T presents each word with its meaning (parade - cuộc diễu hành; feast - bữa tiệc lớn; costume - trang phục lễ hội; fireworks - pháo hoa; celebrate - kỉ niệm/tổ chức mừng; annual - hằng năm) and a useful phrase: a street parade; a big feast; a colourful costume; fireworks display; celebrate a festival; an annual festival.
Ss play a cover-and-recall game in pairs: one S covers the English side of a word card and recalls the word from the meaning, then checks. Then Ss complete Worksheet No. 1 individually.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss record in their notebooks, for each word, the meaning and a phrase, for example: parade (cuộc diễu hành) - a street parade. Ss finish Worksheet No. 1 with these answers: parade - cuộc diễu hành; feast - bữa tiệc lớn; costume - trang phục lễ hội; fireworks - pháo hoa; celebrate - kỉ niệm/tổ chức mừng; annual - hằng năm.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the six words, their meanings and useful phrases on the slide, reads each word aloud and asks Ss to repeat chorally and individually. T then gives out Worksheet No. 1 and explains the task.

    Students

    Ss listen, repeat each word three times and read the phrases. Ss receive Worksheet No. 1.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to play the cover-and-recall game in pairs and walks around to help. T checks that Ss do not confuse parade with party or feast with fireworks.

    Students

    Ss take turns covering the English side of word cards and recall the word. Then Ss complete Worksheet No. 1 individually. Expected answers: 1 - parade; 2 - celebrate; 3 - annual; 4 - costume.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 3 Ss to read their answers aloud and asks: Which word means bữa tiệc lớn? Can you make a sentence with celebrate?

    Students

    Ss answer: feast; We celebrate Tet with our family. Other Ss check their own answers and correct any mistake.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the correct meanings, highlights the difference between parade (a procession of people moving along the street) and feast (a large meal), and reminds Ss to write the word with its meaning and phrase in their notebooks.

    Students

    Ss correct their worksheets and copy the key words and phrases into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 6 minutes

Stress in Two-Syllable Words

a) Aims

Ss identify the stressed syllable in two-syllable words and pronounce PAR-ty and pa-RADE correctly.

b) Content

T explains: In two-syllable words, one syllable is stronger and longer. In party the first syllable is stressed (PAR-ty); in parade the second syllable is stressed (pa-RADE). Stress is a property of each whole word, so Ss must learn each word, not guess from a rule.
T models the two words, marks the stress on the board and has Ss clap or tap the stressed beat. Ss practise the two words in the sentences: The parade starts at noon. / We have a party on Saturday.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss mark the stress on the words in their notebooks: PAR-ty, pa-RADE. Ss say the two sentences with the correct stress on the stressed syllables.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes party and parade on the board, says both words and asks: Which syllable is stronger and longer in each word?

    Students

    Ss listen carefully to T and think about which syllable is stronger.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to say the words chorally, clap the stressed syllable and then say the two sentences. T walks around and corrects stress.

    Students

    Ss clap the beats: PAR-ty (strong-weak), pa-RADE (weak-strong). Then Ss say the sentences in pairs.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on several Ss to say the words aloud and asks them to point out the stressed syllable.

    Students

    Ss answer: In party, the first syllable is stressed; in parade, the second syllable is stressed.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: Stress is a property of each word. We mark PAR-ty and pa-RADE, and practise them in sentences. T asks Ss to write the two marked words in their notebooks.

    Students

    Ss write PAR-ty and pa-RADE in their notebooks and repeat the rule.

    Students

    Ss read the exercises and clarify any unclear instructions with T.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss 3 minutes to do the exercises in pairs and monitors, helping weaker pairs.

    Students

    Ss discuss the answers in pairs and write them in their notebooks. Expected answers: 1 - matched pairs; 2 - B; 3 - annual; 6 - A, C.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on pairs to give answers and asks: Why is D wrong in item 6?

    Students

    Ss answer: Fireworks means pháo hoa, not kỉ niệm/tổ chức mừng; the correct meaning of celebrate is in item 2.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answer key and reminds Ss that feast and parade look different but have different meanings. T gives Ss praise for careful work.

    Students

Activity 3.2: Practice · 6 minutes

Listening and Reading Aloud

a) Aims

Ss recognise target words by listening and read the target words aloud with the correct stress.

b) Content

T reads the word feast aloud. Ss choose the word they hear: A. feast; B. parade; C. fireworks; D. celebrate. Then T asks Ss: For parade, choose the correct stress: A. second syllable; B. first syllable; C. no stress. Ss read the target words aloud and explain the stress pattern of parade, then give one other example (party, PAR-ty).
Note: T reads aloud, since there is no audio file for this activity; the NeoEdu lesson page can be used for extra listening.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:
4. A - feast (T reads the word aloud).
5. A - second syllable (pa-RADE).
Ss read: parade (pa-RADE) and explain: In party, the first syllable is stressed (PAR-ty).

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T explains the listening task and says: I will read a word. Listen and choose the correct answer. Then read the target words aloud.

    Students

    Ss prepare to listen and choose the correct answer quietly.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T reads feast aloud, asks Ss to choose the answer, then asks the stress question about parade. T asks Ss to read the words aloud individually.

    Students

    Ss listen and choose A (feast), then choose A (second syllable). Ss read: parade (pa-RADE), party (PAR-ty).

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on individual Ss to read the words and explain the stress: Which syllable is stressed in parade?

    Students

    Ss answer: The second syllable, -RADE. Some Ss give party as another example, with the first syllable stressed.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: Parade is stressed on the second syllable. Stress is a property of each word, so we learn each word's stress carefully.

    Students

    Ss repeat the stressed words after T and record the stress in their notebooks.
