Description
IIn this lesson students will learn about future perfect and future continuous through the context of eco-guilt. They will be doing predictions based on the ecology and will speak with their
partners. In addition, they will be doing grammar fill-in gaps.
Main Aims
To provide clarification and practice of the future perfect and the future continuous in the context of eco-guilt.
Sub Aims
To provide fluency and accuracy speaking practice in a conversation in the context of eco-guilt.
Background
Class Profile
IT is a upper-intermediate leveled class, whom learners ages differ from late teens to their sixties. Majority of them are Turks, but some other nationalities may also attend. Most of the
students have been attending the ITI English courses since a long time. They don't struggle with both receptive and productive skills, they also enjoy coming to the course and attending
to the activities. Some of them join the course either with extrinsic or intrinsic motivations.
Assumptions
I assume that they won't struggle with learning future perfect and future continuous, due to the fact that they would've learnt them before. They won't have any difficulties when reading the
text and doing free-speaking. The vocabularies used in the text are not difficult to predict. They will enjoy reading, speaking, gap-filling and productive tasks, because it is about the basic
probably nowadays, which is eco-system.
Personal Aims
In this lesson, I will do CCQs in order to allow students to clarify the meaning and the form of the future perfect and the future continuous tense themselves. I will provide clear instructions
by using ICQs, which will make the lesson a student-centered.
Timetable Fit
Ss have learnt about future tenses before, and in this lesson they will be clarifying the meaning and the form by themselves. My lesson will be based on the grammar of the future perfect
and the future continuous, whereas the other lessons will be based on different skills. The lessons are not connected to each other and have different aims.
