Level 1 - class 01 - KSO1 - No. of students =  16 - Age = Teenagers - Duration: 1 hour

 

Objective: Introduce teacher and SS, teach numbers 1 - 50 and organise student notebooks.

 

Assumptions: ss probably know most of these numbers already, but may be pronouncing and spelling them wrong

 

Anticipated problems: SS probably won't know the English alphabet, so words must be written on board. Pronunciation of /th/ - it doesn't exist in Portuguese and word stress on 'teens' and 'tens'.

 

Materials (Mats):

Scrap paper and a stapler for any students who haven't got a notebook. Pieces of blank paper for student name cards. Song - Sultans of swing (3 copies for 3 groups). Board marker, pen. (Photocopies of units 1 & 2. Course CD.) Red marker pen. Adhesive labels to mark the start of grammar section in SS nbs. 1 copy of Viv's pronunciation symbols for each student. Glue & scissors.

Draw tree on board and ask 'What's this?'. Drill 'tree', then draw picture of nose, mouth and tonge touching the roof of the mouth. Write 'tree' in blue then in red /TREE/ on the board. Under the tree, draw £0.00.Give clear model and drill 'free'. Draw a similar face in profile but in this one the lower lip touches the upper teeth and an arrow shows air escaping between the teeth and lip. Write 'free' and /FREE/. In a third row, draw a big number '3'. Give clear, slow model, exaggerating tongue outside the mouth. Drill 'three' then draw diagram with tongue projecting outside the mouth and air escaping between the upper teeth and tongue (see diagrams in the book 'Ship or Sheep?' for a clear demonstration of these diagrams). Drill 'three' and then write 'three' and /θREE/. DON'T CLEAN THESE DIAGRAMS FROM THE BOARD!

 

Put 'one' on the board. Say 'Open your notebooks at page 1' (demonstrate). Students write 'one' in the top right-hand corner of page 1. Repeat this process with 3, 5, 7 (we don't cross out sevens in English!) until students notebooks are numbered up to page 49. Ask students to supply the next numbers if possible and correct any pronunciation problems. Clearly demonstrate word stress on thirteen, fifteen, seventeen & nineteen by beating stress on your hands and drawing a big red dot above the stressed syllable on the board. Do the same with twenty-one etc.

 

SS turn over the page and write '50' on the back of page 49. Distribute two adhesive labels to each student and show them how to 'tab' this page and a page in the middle of their nbs (divider page?) for hwk. SS write 'HWK' on this tab. Ask students to copy the diagrams of faces and pronunciation onto page 50 of their notebooks.

 

Clear board. SS open notebooks at back page and stick a copy of pronunciation symbols on back cover and number the pages at the back of the students' notebooks with even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) until 32, using the same process as before.

15 mins.

Song - Dire Straits - Sultans of swing. Divide class into three groups. Give each group copies of the song jigsaw and ask them to put them in numerical order (T: "Put them in order - one, two, three...". Play song and students order the sentences.
