CELTA: LESSON PLAN OVERVIEW

|Name |Angela |

|Main lesson aim (revise, extend, practise etc.) |Subsidiary aim(s) (revise, extend, practise etc.) |

|By the end of the lessons student will have : |By the end of the lessons student will have : |

| | |

|Recognised and revisited the forms of all the narrative tenses |Practised their reading skills i.e. reading for gist, scanning for detail and guessing the meanings of vocabulary in |

|Be aware of the differences in aspect when using the perfect and progressive form |context |

|Practised using these forms in a spoken and written narrative |Revised the pronunciation of regular past tense verbs |

|Extended and practised their vocabulary within the context of travel | |

| | |

|How will I know my aims have been achieved? (e.g. successful completion of ex.. will show …) |

|Successful identification of meaning form and use in consolidation exercise (cut ups) |

|Successful answers to concept checking of meaning |

|Successful completion of online quiz |

|Personal aims (Teaching skills YOU want to improve on in this lesson – consider action points from previous lessons) |

| |

|Assumptions (what your ss already know about the language, topic, skills that will help them in the lesson) |

|Most Ss will be familiar with past simple and continuous but the perfect and progressive forms are always challenging |

|Constant clarification on form and checking of meaning necessary (CCQs =concept checking questions) |

NB Make sure you give a stapled copy of the plan and all materials (e.g. correctly sourced handouts /copies of powerpoint slides) to the tutor BEFORE the lesson starts. To save trees, print 6 slides to an A4 handout.

|Anticipated problems and solutions (specific problems with tasks, classroom management etc. NOT language) |

|Problem |Solution |

|1.ss don’t perform tasks as required |Ensure initial instructions are clear, check with ICQs - instruction checking questions. Model and demo tasks |

| |where appropriate |

|2.ss don’t contribute in fluency activity |Monitor during lesson to assess ss abilities and then mix groups. |

|Materials (state the materials you’re going to use. NB you must reference all handouts and attach a copy with your plan) |

| |

|Powerpoint slides / handouts |

|Language Analysis Sheet 1: Structural grammar or Functional grammar |

|How will you present this language to the students? How will they first meet the language? Via a reading text |

|(Eg. Via a reading or listening text, via a situation/story, via a diagnostic task) |

|Name of structure/ function and marker sentence(s) |Meaning |Form |Pronunciation |

| |(ways of checking eg. concept checking questions, |(how to build the structure or key components of the |(phonemic script, stress, contractions, connected speech)|

| |timelines ...) |function) | |

|PAST SIMPLE |Used for a finished action at a specific time in the past|Subject + ‘ed’ (regular form) /(irregular form) |With regular verbs there are three possible sound |

|Regular verbs: started ,asked, grabbed, |often with a time phrase or implied time. | |endings: |

|Irregular verbs: saw, was/were, was blown out (passive) |CCQs to establish finished action | |/t/: asked /d/: grabbed/ ᶦd/: started |

|I went through to the cockpit |_______________________ | |/æskt //ˈgræbd// stɑrtɪd/ |

|PAST CONTINUOUS |Used to talk about events in the past that were |________________________ | |

|Was stepping out, was going out |unfinished at a certain time in the past or to stress the| | |

| |duration or repetitious nature of an action |Subject + was/were + ‘ing’ participle form |_____________________________ |

| |Illustrate with timelines | |The auxiliary ‘was’ and ‘were’ in the past continuous are|

|I was just stepping out |CCQs to establish duration | |weak forms and the participle is usually stressed e.g. |

| |__________________________ |Subject + had (‘d) + past participle |was/wəz/ stepping out |

|___________________ | | |/ˈwəz ˈstepɪŋ ˈæʊt/ |

|PAST PERFECT |To describe actions that happened before the past time we| | |

| |are talking about | |The auxiliary is often contracted I’d /d/ Stress on |

|Had landed, had reached, had disappeared, had become | | |participle |

| |Illustrate with timelines |_____________________ |We had just reached |

|The flight door had landed on the controls |CCQs to establish previous completed action |Subject + had (‘d) + been + ‘ing’ participle form |[we'd] ˈdʒəst ˈriːtʃt |

| | | | |

| | | | |

| |To describe unfinished or continuing actions that started| | |

|PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS |before the time in the past we are referring to. | |__________________________ |

| |Illustrate with timelines. CCQs to establish duration. | |The auxiliary is often contracted and the ‘been’ becomes |

|Everything had been going well | | |a weak form |

| | | |..had been going well |

| | | |ˈhæd ˈbɪn ˈgoʊɪŋ ˈwel |

| | | | |

|Anticipated problems |Possible solutions |

| | |

|1 Unfamiliarity with form and meaning of perfect continuous aspect |1 Concept check and illustrate with time lines and other examples |

| | |

|2 Problems with pron on ‘ed’ endings of regular past verbs and weak forms | |

| |2 Drill and check |

|3 In the personalised speaking activity learners will make mistakes with the use of past structures | |

| | |

|4 Ss unable to grasp the focus on form |3 Monitor carefully and note errors for delayed error correction |

| | |

| | |

| |4 Use colour to highlight the patterns / elicit answers from ss and elicit further examples / monitor closely |

| |during practice exercises. |
