 2

Methods and techniques: conversation, explanation, question – answer, discussion, individual work, exercises.
Learning activity: individual work

Interaction: T- Ss, Ss-Ss, GW, IW

Assumed knowledge: - I assume that students already know clothing vocabulary from the previous lesson

Skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing;

Anticipating students’ problems:

- some students might need further help and extra indications in solving the tasks and they may also need some of these
indications to be given in Romanian;
- some students might feel nervous and reluctant to participate in the activity, so they may need assistance;

Aspects I particularly need to be aware of: the students to understand everything the teacher says and asks;

Assessment activity: the students will be assessed based on class participation;

Teaching aids/ Materials: blackboard, worksheets, laptop, PowerPoint, flashcards, flipchart, coloured markers.
