The Distance Delta

Delta Lesson Plan

General overview of the group of learners and the course. (5ai)

Level Upper Intermediate B1

Course Type General English

Coursebook Cutting Edge Upper Intermediate

General It is a General English class at B1 Upper Intermediate level. The course runs for one
Overview week with daily two-hour sessions. This bi-lingual general English class currently has 9
students, but they do not all attend regularly.
With the youngest being twenty and the oldest is 54, most of them are Hungarians
with one Turkish and one Burmese. There are 8 women and the 1 man, however this
doesn’t seem to affect class dynamics as they all work together very well and feel
comfortable. Many have learnt English on and off for several years. Some have studied
for a long time in this centre. Generally, the students are really engaging and on the
go because they generally participate in the lessons.

My colleagues and I organised a needs analysis. It demonstrates that for most of the
learners, English is essential in order to improve their employment and educational
potentials. In fact, there are two students who are considering completing their higher
studies in the USA.
Also, some other students want to improve their English for work related reasons; one
student wants to sell her products in the American markets.
Two people have lived abroad in non-English speaking countries (Thailand and
Germany), where English would have made a contribution as a lingua franca.

In accordance with the needs analyses these adult learners concentrate acquiring
fluency skills and listening comprehension skills.
The learners are more active after a pair or group work, for this reason, they often
work in pairs or groups. They like discussion questions, debates and listening to
authentic texts.
The subsequent details about individual learners were collected by talking to the
learners about their learning preferences and their reasons for learning English.

Information about individual learners relevant to the lesson. (5aii)

Overall aims and learning outcomes for the lesson in relation to language systems and / or language
skills and learner needs. (5b)

Main aims:
By the end of the lesson the students will be better able to use a range of future forms, specifically; will,
going to and present continuous in expressing intentions and making arrangements when giving a
detailed description of familiar subjects (plans of parties and journeys in the near and distant future).

Personal aim:
I am working toward monitoring in the context of micro teaching and collecting ideas/language to
ensure smooth class feedback and correct my learners’ errors.

Analysis of meaning / use, form, pronunciation or (sub)skill of language relevant to this lesson. (5c)

A MEANING/USE
Basic contrasts: will, going to, present continuous.

1_ The most common types of verb phrases with future reference occur with the modal auxiliary will as
the first verb. This use is uncoloured by ideas such as decision, arrangement, “willingness, etc.
The auxiliary verb will is used to express a spontaneous intention made at the moment of speaking.

Chaibi Moustafa
Help learners understand the use of future forms in expressing intentions and making arrangements
The Distance Delta

I think he’ll like it.

Will is also used to express an instantaneous decision.

OK, I’ll call and book a table

Possible CCQs:

- Is he calling right now? (no, later)

- Is he booking a table right now? (no, later)

- Is he referring then to the future? (yes)

- Did he decide this before this conversation? (no)

- Did he decide at the moment of the conversation? (yes)

Moreover, will, like the other modal auxiliaries has two main areas of meaning: extrinsic (predictability

and prediction) and intrinsic (strong and weak volition). (Thornbury, 2006)

I will book a table for 2 p.m

This is not only a predicted event but also expresses an intention (willingness) based on a decision that
has been made beforehand.

2_ Going to expresses an intention based on a decision that has been made beforehand.

We’re going to take her out for a meal.

Possible CCQs:

- was the decision made at the time of speaking? (no)

- has she decided to take her out for a meal before now? (yes)

- when was this intention happened in the past or present? (in the past)

- when they go out for a meal. Now or in the future? (in the future)

3_ The present continuous is used to express personal arrangements and fixed plans.

Chaibi Moustafa
Help learners understand the use of future forms in expressing intentions and making arrangements
The Distance Delta

I am seeing Richel at college.

Possible CCQs:

- Have Richel and I just thought about meeting or we have planned it? (you have planned it)

- Have they Richel and I planned for seeing each other? (yes)

- Is it certain they we’re going to meet at college? (yes)

Present continuous is is mostly used with social and travel arrangements or when the time and place
have been already decided.

B FORM

1- will
Simple future tense is made up of four parts: Subject, auxiliary verb will, Base verb and Object.

Positive:
I will check my emails

Subject will bare infinitive Object

Negative:
In negative sentences, we add auxiliary verb and not before main verb.
I will not check my emails

Subject will not + bare Object


infinitive

Interrogative sentences.
In interrogative we should start with the auxiliary will followed by the subject and bare infinitive.
Will you check Your emails ?

Will Subject bare infinitive Object ?


In speech, will is often contracted after wh questions, and after names and nouns. (Scrivener; 2010)

2- Intentions:

Chaibi Moustafa
Help learners understand the use of future forms in expressing intentions and making arrangements
The Distance Delta

We make the structure with be (in the correct form) + going to + bare infinitive. (Scrivener; 2010)
Whether affirmative, negative or questions form, going to never alter.
Positive:
I am going to play tennis

Subject am/is/are going to bare infinitive object


Negative:
I am not going to play tennis

Subject am/is/are not going to bare infinitive object


Interrogative:
Are you going to play tennis ?

Am/Is/Are Subject going to bare infinitive object ?

3-Arrangements:
We form the -ing form by adding ing to the base form. (Scrivener; 2010)
Positive:
I am visit ing France

Subject is/am/are verb ing object


Negative:
I am not visiting France

Subject is/am/are not verb+ing object

Interrogative:
Are you visiting France ?

Are / is / am subject verb + ing object ?


Present continuous cannot be used with stative verbs; e.g. like, want, think (Parrott,2002)
C PHONOLOGY

a) will
The contraction ‘ll is more common than the full form of will

I think he’ll like it.

Chaibi Moustafa
Help learners understand the use of future forms in expressing intentions and making arrangements
The Distance Delta

/aɪ θɪŋk hiːl laɪk ɪt. /

We stress will when it is uncontracted to emphasise a strong intention that something is going to
happen or be done.
Example: I WILL attend the meeting.
/aɪ wɪl əˈtɛnd ðə ˈmiːtɪŋ. /

b) be going to

It is often surprising to learners that going to has a different pronunciation apart from /ˈgəʊɪŋ tuː/ or
/ˈgəʊɪŋ ta/ which is the common native speakers’ pronunciation / ˈgənə /

I’m gonna see Richel at college /aɪm ˈgənə siː Richel æt ˈkɒlɪʤ /
Also, Iam in contracted to I’m /aɪm/

c) Present continuous
- Elision of “g” in seeing; /ˈsiːɪŋ/

The uncontracted form of am/is/are can be used to emphasise a point, especially to give an answer.

Yes, we are going. ./ jɛs, wiː ɑː. /

The contracted form of ‘m/’s/‘re makes the speaker sounds more emphatic.
Example: She’s visiting France this summer.
/ʃiːz ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ˈfrɑːns ðɪs ˈsʌmə. /
She is visiting France this summer.
/ʃiː ɪz ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ˈfrɑːns ðɪs ˈsʌmə /

Relevant links between this lesson and relevant aspects of previous and subsequent lesson(s) and the
course as a whole. (5d)

These learners have been studying here for more than a week, they have already experienced a range
of grammar lessons and activities, for instance, they just finished a grammar input about the present
perfect continuous with my delta mate Siham, including pair work, group work, mingle activities,
surveys and quizzes. Task teach task was used and will be used in numerous classes as well as I was
told by the three of my DELTA mates. This lesson introduces brainstorming atsk and I am hoping it will
be received actively, because the learners have spent many lessons discussing topics with each other.
This lesson requires students to express in details their plans and intentions in the future which will be
overly challenging in the beginning but not in the end when they will have exposed to the grammar

input. This language lesson also is appropriate to their level as they are only reviewing and reinforcing
grammar lessons they know before, I assume this will additionally help students prepare for the follow
up future forms for predicting and fixed plans lesson which is going to be an escalating part of this one.
Later in the course, learners will be looking at different grammar. As they’re going to tackle past modal
verbs, then the use of the passives.

States assumptions about the learners’ knowledge, abilities and interests relevant to the aims and
learning outcomes of the lesson (5e)

This is the second week, the learners have been looking at getting together (social events and people
around us) vocabulary lesson with my colleague Siham which I believe will be perfectly linked to this
grammar lesson in terms of speaking of social arrangements and plans.
Students will find the topic of grammar future forms an engaging lesson as they will see practical side
of the lesson on which tenses they use to refer to express future arrangements and intentions.
Because they know present continuous and future simple tenses but don’t have knowledge when to
use what in referring to a range of future forms.
Task Teach Task will motivate my learners to speak about their future arrangements and intentions.
Also, they will enjoy the challenge of working together on grammar activities and of making their
own individual answers referring to future plans.
I assume, students will like sharing ideas together and get to know more about other peers’ plans and
intentions as they will l have some fun completing sharing their answers by the end of the lesson.
In next slots, we will go on to extend the use of future forms to express predictions (With and without
evidence ) and speak about timetable events (Present simple to refer to fixed activities).

Rationale from Research

Future forms to express intentions and make arrangements are a frequent introduced aspect in English

Chaibi Moustafa
Help learners understand the use of future forms in expressing intentions and making arrangements
The Distance Delta

learning process, which in my opinion presents a challenge to English language learners. According to
M, lewis. English possesses no formal future tense but, of course, it is possible to talk about Future
Time. A number of different verb forms are possible and the choice of the correct one is frequently a
source of confusion for foreign learners. This aspect is also a very commonly used in real world
communication.

Research has shown me that it is not a matter of collision and that the context and the setting in which
this grammar aspect is used affects choice of structure. Moreover, the structure of the future forms are
modified by contexts of intentions, plans or arrangements.
Therefore I was convinced to contextualise this lesson using task based approach because I believe in
this approach the students are free of language control. In all first stages they must use all their language
resources rather than just practising one pre-selected item.
(https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/a-task-based-approach)

My choice of task-based approach was influenced by wanting to developed a lesson from the students'
experiences with the language that is personalised and relevant to them as the students will have a
much more varied exposure to language with task based learning. They will be exposed to a whole range
of lexical phrases.
Furthermore, it is an enjoyable and motivating approach owing to the fact that it is a strong
communicative approach where students spend a lot of time communicating.

Rationale Related to Learner Characteristics and Needs

According to my background research In behaviourism and teaching and learning process, lesson plan
plays a major role in helping both teachers and learners in their learning. Teachers mainly use lesson
plan as their guide to ensure that they are on the right track and students feel engaged and smoothly
and technically guided and approached.
Per my background essay, my lesson starts with an agreeable activity that will involve my students and
introduce them in an accessible way to an authentic text reading which they enjoy most as they
mentioned in their needs analysis.
Later, learners are exposed to an input with different interactions (Individual work, pair and group work)
as they usually feel confident and more engaged after pair/group work.
In MPF, the idea of displaying form adds pleasure to the lesson which I believe is necessary in such
grammar lesson. Also, mingle and flash activity helps learners to collaborate with each other in
discussing future forms situations.
In the end, freer practice contributes as a snapshot of the lesson.
