    Assignment A

    Text 3 – Elementary

    ✔ This part of the assignment focuses on stage 5 of an elementary reading lesson.


    ✔ The students have already completed the vocabulary pre-teaching stage and the reading tasks.
    ✔ You should plan a 15-minute follow-on stage consisting of two short communicative speaking tasks, which will require the use of
    some of the vocabulary in the text for the final stage of the lesson. Please ensure that the fifteen minutes are divided between the two tasks
    and that you have considered the time needed to give instructions.

    ✔ Include any necessary references in the bibliography template. See 'Referencing' document for advice on what is required.
    ✔ Read 'Advice on Approaching Assignment A' before you begin work on this template.
    ✔ Class: Elementary (A1) 12 adults (6M, 6F), age range 25-56. Most of the students want to learn English because they feel it will improve
    their job prospects. Three are learning for recreational reasons.

    21st Century Dad

    © 2022 The TEFL Academy. All rights Reserved.


    Bobbie and Moira Fernandez got married 6 years ago when they were 24 years old. Their daughter, Addison, was born 3 years later. Their baby son,
    Remy, is 15 months old.
    Bobbie worked in a library, and Moira is an engineer. Moira loves her work, so Bobbie left his job. He stays at home with the children. We asked Bobbie
    about his day.
    “Well, we get up when Remy wakes us up, which is usually at about half past six in the morning. Moira takes a shower and has breakfast while I look
    after the children. Moira leaves the house at 7.30. Addison's kindergarten is close to our house. Usually Addison walks, and I carry the baby. When we
    are late, I put them in the buggy, or take them on my bike.
    After that, I often take Remy to the park by the river. He loves to see the boats and ducks on the river. We sometimes take some food for the ducks. He
    likes the swings in the children's playground. I usually meet other parents and babies there, so I can have a chat with them.
    On Wednesdays I collect Addison from kindergarten at 12.30. Then we go to the market to buy food. Moira always goes to the supermarket on Saturday
    morning. We don't have a car, so we can't do all the shopping on one day.
    In the afternoons the children have a nap, and I clean and tidy the house. I cook the evening meal every day except Friday. On Fridays, my wife normally
    cooks, but occasionally we go out for a meal or get a takeaway.

    I enjoy being a stay-at-home dad. It's hard work, and sometimes it's boring. But it's great fun to watch your children grow up. We are very happy.”

    Stage To extend and practise 1 T-C Instructions: I am the reporter and my Students listen to the instructions
    productive spoken use of question to you is what the Fernandez family
    vocabulary related to family do on a typical weekend. Work in groups of 2
    and daily routines. and pretend that you are Bobby and Moira and
    answer the question when I get to you. You
    have one minute to think about your answer.

    1 S-S Monitor progress. Make sure everyone Students discuss and agree on a possible
    understood the task. answer to the question.

    3 T-Pairs Ask each pair “And how do you spend your Student pairs give answers.
    weekends?”. Listen closely and make notes for
    corrections afterwards

    2 T-C Give feedback by pointing out good vocabulary Students listen to feedback and make
    use and correcting pronunciation and grammar corrections where needed
    mistakes where needed.

    1 T-C Instructions: Put up 12 questions on the board Students listen to the instructions
    and explain task: Everyone in class stands up.
    Student 1 picks a question and directs it to any
    other standing student. Then he sits down.
    That student answers the question, pick a new
    question to direct to another standing student,
    and then sits down. This continues until all 12
    students had an opportunity to read a
    question and answer a question, and everyone
    is seated.

    5 S-S Monitor and correct pronunciation mistakes Students follow instructions. Each one reads
    a question and answer a different question,
    then sit down.

    mistakes where needed.

    Reasons for selecting these TWO activities and why they are appropriate for this lesson with this class.
    (100-150 words)
    Since the students want to improve their English for better work opportunities, or just for social speaking, I chose these activities to
    practice what one might discuss with a new friend/person on the bus/co-worker, etc. (“Get to know you” questions)

    In a group of age 25 to 56, not everyone is part of the same generation, so the viewpoints on gender roles might be quite different. (If it
    was a B2 or C1 class, the activity could have been an exciting debate on gender roles, but it is too advanced for A1). These 2 activities are
    specifically chosen to be very generic and I focus on the vocabulary and pronunciation. It is helpful for a 25 year old answering interview
    questions as well as for a 56 year old making a friend in the park. It also helps for the students in the class to get to know each other
    better.
