6. Language Focus

Form

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

When we talk about events that are actually happening now, we use the present continuous tense. This is formed by using the stem of the verb and adding -ing to the end, for example the verb "work" becomes "working". In some cases you need to alter the spelling a bit for example the verb "die" becomes "dying".

PREPOSITIONS

Prepositions are a class of words that indicate relationships between nouns, pronouns and other words in a sentence. Most often they come before a noun. They never change their form, regardless of the case, gender etc. of the word they are referring to.

Some Prepositions of Place

On In In front of Opposite Behind Next to Between Under On the left

On the right In the middle

Examples:

The profit was shared between the three of them. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There is an apple on the table. The pencil is under the desk. The church is located behind the supermarket. They are standing in front of their house. Her desk is located opposite my desk. Our house is next to the supermarket. There are some countries that drive on the left. The girls who are standing on the right are the daughters of Jane. There is a pool in the middle of the trees.

Meaning

Present continuous tense is used in the actions which are actually lasting now. Prepositions of place are used while describing the locations of objects. Listening part will focus on meaning. Students try to understand the passage they listen.

Use

We use present continuous tense while expressing the current events and cases. Prepositions of place are used where we talk about the locations. The usage of them can be composed in the necessary situations.

7. Potential problems and possible solutions

Potential problems 1. Students cannot be actively involved into the lesson because of some reasons (sleeplessness, tiredness, and lack of motivation). 2. The activity can be complicated for students. 3. Students may have difficulty in

Possible solutions 1. We can make an enjoying activity which is related with the subject matter. 2. We can briefly explain and can give an example.. We can use a simpler language while explaining. 3. We can visualize the places of prepositions with the objects. 4. We can make them listen to the sounds again and repeat or we can pronounce it ourselves. 5. We can generally try to use wholeclass activities. 6. We can stall them with an entertaining exercise. 7. We can hold the students who have finished the activity earlier responsible for assisting the other groups and if it seems as the activity will be longer than expected, we may give the left parts as assignment or give the answers. 8.I will turn up the volume 9. I will make them listen it again.

finding the right prepositions.


4. Students may have problems with the pronunciation of some sounds. 5. Grouping the students can create problems because of the class size. 6. While teacher is checking the results of a quiz, the students can be out of control. 7. Some of the groups may finish the activities before and after the expected time. 8. Because the class is crowded, students sitting at the back may not hear listening text. 9. They may not understand the speaker at first listening.

10. While the class are listening the passage, some students may not listen and may speak among themselves

10. I will warn them gently and observe them in case they may do again 11. The teacher observes the students and helps them when students have difficulty in doing exercises. 12. The teacher learns the problem and resolves the issue between the partners. 13. The teacher explains the students how they form groups clearly.

11. Students may have difficulty in doing speaking exercises. 12. The students may have a problem with their partners. 13. Students may have difficulty in forming groups.

5) HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT Find the words in the puzzle

PART III. FINAL TOUCHES

A. Justification for activities/stages

STAGE 1 - WARM-UP

Firstly, we greet the students and ask them how they are to draw their attention. We start our lesson with an entertaining song about some parts of the body, because we think that it is one of the best ways to draw students to the subject. The teacher performs the actions in the song. Then, she wants two students to perform it to develop their kinesthetic skills. While they are performing, the others sing the song all together. It takes about four minutes. Thanks to this song, the students will be familiar to our subject matter. We only make two of the students dance as the class is very crowded. The teacher is in the role of a performer.

STAGE 2 PRESENTATION

In the presentation part, we have a reading passage about parts of the body and their functions with the pictures next to the words. We read the passage to the students as they follow the reading from their own papers. This is a whole class activity; because we want them make the activity on their own. The teacher is in the role of a controller. Then, we give an exercise in conformity with this reading passage to evaluate their comprehension of the passage. Then, we have a vocabulary activity. In this activity, there is a painting by Pablo Picasso. We want the students to label the womans face with the words given. The individualized learning is preferred, because it is hard to group or pair students in such a crowded class. The teacher is the role of a controller, because she stands in front of the class and give directions to them. We give feedback to the accuracy as we look at the true matching. As the third activity, we have a pronunciation exercise about vowel sounds. They match the sounds with the words given. Then, they listen to the words and check whether their matches are true or

not. This is important for the pronunciation and speaking skills. This is an individualized learning activity, because in a group or pair, some students may not participate to the activity on their own. The teacher is in the role of a facilitator, because she helps them when they have problems with the pronunciation. At the end of the exercise , we give feed back to the fluency.

STAGE 3- PRACTICE

In the lesson, the students are expected to use the forms of present continuous and prepositions. So we support them by integrative activities to learn the forms and meaning together. Visuals are used to attract their attention to the exercises. In addition to the forms, we want them to talk and create their own sentences from time to time. This will make them more active and creative.

GRAMMAR ACTIVITY 1 Role of the teacher: Facilitator Grouping reasons: Whole- class because the class is crowded Feedback type: Fluency because they see the form for the first time In the first grammar activity, we want students to answer some questions about a painting called At the Moulin Rouge by Toulouse- Lautrec. The visual will draw their attention to the lesson and some questions are about the students thoughts and so different answers can come. We will help them with the form and after the six questions; students will be able to recognize the present continuous form. GRAMMAR ACTIVITY 2 Role of the teacher: Controller Grouping reasons: Whole- class because of the crowd Feedback type: Accuracy

In the second activity of grammar, we want them to underline the correct form of the verbs. The students will have a revision of present simple because there are both present simple and present continuous .Thanks to this activity, students can differentiate the two tenses. GRAMMAR ACTIVITY 3 Role of the teacher: Controller Grouping reasons: Whole- class because of the crowd Feedback type: Accuracy In the third activity, the students are faced with a painting again. This time, they will fill-in-the-blanks with only present continuous tense. This will provide them with the comprehension of the tense. WRITING ACTIVITY Role of the teacher: Controller Grouping reasons: Individualized learning Feedback type: Accuracy In the writing activity, we want the students write a paragraph about an attached picture. This will provide them with not only the form but also the comment about the picture. This practice also supports the individual learning. Because the class is so crowded, not all paragraphs can be read in the classroom. So we will listen to only two volunteers but we will check the others writings and give feedback to them later. LISTENING ACTIVITY I used whole class grouping, because I am in the role of controller and it is the most suitable way of grouping for listening activity in large class. I used content feedback because this activity based on meaning, understanding the passage.

4) FREE PRODUCTION
SPEAKING ACTIVITY 1 In this activity, the students are asked to match the prepositions with pictures on their own to test their preposition knowledge. In this way, their

learner autonomies develop. While checking the answers, whole class is involved. Then, a game about prepositions is played. The teacher puts the ball anywhere she wants and asks where the ball is. Whole class is involved in the game. Teacher selects the students randomly to answer the question so as to encourage shy students.
