Homework task:
Create a lesson plan + materials for a 30~40 minute speaking lesson. The age, context, and target language is your choice.
The blank template is available from below & Edmodo.
Suggested order of planning:
Completed plan + materials due Tuesday 18 May.
Note:
Next week on Tuesday 17 May we will have one more class doing a lesson plan workshop to develop your plans. The deadline will then be the next day, so bring your plan 90% completed!
Remember: A speaking lesson is very different from a listening lesson. The objective is scaffolding the students in the internalize stage towards speaking the target language by themselves in the fluency stage. In a listening lesson, the main stage is the 'during' stage.

Remember: A speaking lesson is very different from a listening lesson. The objective is scaffolding the students in the internalize stage towards speaking the target language by themselves in the fluency stage. In a listening lesson, the main stage is the 'during' stage.
Speaking checklist:
- Students have target language input before target language output
- Provided the meaning of the target language
- Included a variety of interaction patterns. E.g. T-S/S-S/S-T
- Chose target language appropriate for the students’ age and ability
- Scaffolded ‘chunks’ of the target language in stages
- Scaffolded the target language from controlled to free practice
- Gave students a chance to maximize output during the activity
- Allowed students to personalize output to make it meaningful and memorable
- Made sure S are aware or the task outcome and purpose, e.g. they will complete a survey and input data to a chart
- Monitored students if they are doing pair or group work
- Focus on fluency rather than accuracy
