Teaching Approach: The lesson is based on Krashen's Natural Approach and organized

under PPP as proposed by Jeremy Harmer.(Third Edition 2001)

Materials and resources: Images and flashcards from town. Worksheet, a song, glue and sheets for the creation of a collage.

Pedagogical use of ICT in class: Mini LED projector for images and a mp3 player.

Seating Arrangement: Students will be seated in groups of two students as they usually work in regular classes.

Possible problems/difficulties and their possible solutions during class: Students

tend to talk if the class gets boring, so it is quite important to maintain their attention activated trough the use of real context, clear instructions, making the classroom interactive

with students and using the board for writing sentences. The teacher always assists students during the class.

Potential problems students may have with the language: They may have problems with the meaning of some words, or remembering how to use them. So I will use

exemplification in order to help understanding. It is important to contextualize them so students can enhance comprehension. Exemplification with the whole class may help them.

Assessment: What will be assessed and how: understanding by listening to them and

correcting with examples related to the topic which is being worked when reading sentences on the board. Comprehension will be assessed by correcting activities provided on sheets.

Procedures:

Routine: 5 minutes

the name without reading at the flashcards as I show you the pictures, are you ready? (Here

I show them different sequences of pictures, so they can put into practice their memory)

guy visits in the video and fill the gaps with the corresponding words. In order to do so, you will turn around so you can listen to the song, but not watching it. In this papers (sheets I
