From TELF Module: Teaching English One-to-One
--------------------------------------------------------------
Look at the student's profile below:
Level: Pre-intermediate, has been learning English for 2 years
Age: 26
Job: Journalist
Interests: Action movies, extreme sports, rock music, travelling
Needs English for: Working on assignments abroad, meeting with foreign colleagues, socialising, writing e-mails, telephoning.
Skills he wants to improve most: Speaking and listening
Learner style: Visual
(Note: the information about interests and needs is given to help you 'get to know' the student better; you don't have to use it all in your lesson)
Based on the information above, write a lesson plan for a 45-minute lesson with this student. The topic is Telephoning, and the objective is to prepare the student to communicate over the phone. At present, he finds it difficult to speak with someone without seeing the person and he needs to learn the standard language of telephone conversations (e.g. "I'd like to speak to ..., please?", etc).
Please include the following information:
Target language (list the phrases you will teach)
Assumed knowledge (for example, list some grammatical structures the student already knows, which can be of use during the lesson)
Anticipated problems
Solutions
Preparations and aids
A step-by-step plan of the entire lesson including the timing of each stage. Remember to follow the PPP sequence: from Presentation, through Controlled Practice to Free Practice (Production).
Note: This will be a functional lesson as you will be teaching a language function.
