All of the language learners are young adults, most of them are students from the Autonomous
University of Chiapas Campus III, most of them are visual learners whereas others as
kinesthetic.
Recent work: we have been working on the production on their writing, they have taken many
trainees for doing this.
Relevant information about class and local conditions:
The class takes place at 11 to 1 oclock on Monday. This is a general English course. The term
comprises 15 weeks,. The classroom facilities are adequate light and air, although the lamps
make a funny noise when they are on. There are chairs for the students, plus 10 extra, a desk
and a chair for the teacher, whiteboard. There is computer and a projector to work with.

Overall Aims: To make students practice and accurate perception and production of a target
item which can be letter of application
Learning objectives: By the end of this lesson learners will have
- Accurate perception
- Recognized different type of vocabulary.
- Produced their own letter of application

Lesson focus: writing production..

Assumptions of prior knowledge: Students are expected to know also how a letter of
application is important to know how to write it and learning new vocabulary on the way.

Anticipated problems and possible solutions (language activities)
As students may find it difficult to talk about this topic, the teacher will provide with several
situations in which lying is a common practice.
Because students might be interested in knowing the meaning of some words in the text, the
teacher will emphasise the instructions to make it clear that vocabulary questions may be
solved at the end of the lesson.
Personal development aim:
As this is a topic of personal interest, I might find it hard to stand back and let students room
for participation, I will try to intervene in the class only when necessary and to attend
individual call.
Due to class size and classroom facilities, I find it hard to make myself available for all
students; thus I will try to accommodate the class in groups so as to have enough space in
between to walk around the class at will
