Required Listening - Lesson Plan (Speaking Strategies)

 This is for a writing prompt in the course: Teach English Now! Listening, Speaking and Pronunciation by Arizona State University through Coursera.

In the last peer review assignment, you edited your original listening lesson plan and added in some speaking activities. Now, you're going to make changes to your lesson plan again, this time by adding some speaking activities related to the techniques and strategies discussed in this module (like mnemonic devices, mind palaces, etc). During this revision of your lesson plan, you will probably want to delete some activities as well.   Feel free to adapt some of ideas from the reading ("Excerpts from 100 TESOL Activities") into your lesson plan!

  • T will explain that in today’s lesson, S will describe a character.

  • T will explain that for their guided practice they will be listening to a video and will answer questions afterwards. T will also ask students to take down the words that are unfamiliar to them.

  • T will explain that for their independent practice, students will be given 20 minutes to describe their own character from Ancient Rome.

 

Instruct & Model / Guided Practice

  • T will model how to make a character introduction using the basic question starters. T will ask S to watch out for these phrases that answer the 5Ws and 1H. T will also explain that to make an effective introduction, students need to answer the basic question starters. 

    • When did the character's story take place?

  • After listening, T will ask students to send their list of unfamiliar words.

  • T will give them the meaning of these words and make sure that the students understand them.

  • Students will start with the key phrase, “This character makes me think that…”, “This character makes me feel like…”

 

Independent Practice

  • Ts will give 20 minutes to students to choose a person from Ancient Rome that the T provided and research about them, making a character introduction speech.

  • T will then ask students to present their works if time allows.
