                        SPEAKING TEACHING

LESSON: ENGLISH

CLASS: 4^TH GRADE

UNIT: CLOTHES

PRESENT: Watching a video

Materials:  Video

You can find this video from this website :

speaking video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOKde_7ZLUM

Aim: It is an activity for the beginning. This video is among three people. Two of them are customers and the other one is the salesman. Students will see how people are shopping, how they want help from the salesman and how they are expressing their needs etc in  this video.

            At the beginning of the lesson, I will show the video. Maybe, we can make them to watch twice or three times. Students will start to see how people are talking while shopping and what the conversation among them is about.

PRACTICE: Act out

Aim: In this part, the students will start to reinforce what they have learned from the video. Students start to develop their language while acting out. Students begin to use the language in the conversation. They begin to speak at least a little. They will act out spontaneously. We don’t wait how fluently they speak. However, they should start to speak.

            In this activity, students will come to the board in pairs or groups according to the situation. I will give them the topics. They will act out according to which topic they choose.

Some of these topics are:

Ø  Girls who are going to the shopping

Ø  Mother and daughter on the shopping centre

Ø  Gossiping girls about their friend’s clothes

Ø  Girls on the podium etc.

We can enhance the examples.

PRODUCE: Describing the clothes

Aim: It is an activity for the students to reinforce what they have learned from the previous activities. Students start to produce something about the clothes on the aspect of the conversation.

            Students will come to the board one by one. They will look at their friends and start to describe the clothes. They will use the simple language as far as they can speak. I think that describing only clothes and colors are adequate for 4^th grades students. They can say “he is wearing a black t-shirt. It is long. I liked it” or “she is wearing the pink skirt. Her skirt is short.”  Their describing can be like this.
