FORM FOCUS
TG (Form Focus)
1. DURATION: 58
minutes
2. MAIN OBJECTIVE:
Raise students' awareness
of pronunciation patterns
of the English language.
Focus on the sounds /t/
and /d/.
3. HINTs
3.1. Setting / Problem
Solving: Picture 1. Start
the activity by writing
the words which have
underlined letters on the
board and have students
read them out loud.
Call students attention
to the correct way of
pronouncing them and
pronounce each of the
sounds. Make it clear that
the /t/ and /d/ sounds
are similar to the way
they are pronounced in
Portuguese, but, almost
as if they had a blow of
air after them. They are
considered plosive sounds
(made by completely
stopping the flow of air
out of your mouth and
then suddenly letting
it out). Then have
students read the extract
paying attention to this
pattern. Bear in mind
that this activity aims
at awareness, so dont
expect your students
to perform it perfectly.
Learning is cyclical and
takes time. Close the
activity by checking
students notes in the
Pronunciation Box.
3.2. Correction Technique:
Use choral repetition
to practice and correct
pronunciation.

TG (Discourse Moment)
1. DURATION: 10-12 minutes
2. MAIN OBJECTIVE: Raise
students awareness of some
uses of the Imperative using
the classroom as a starting
point.
3. HINTS
3.1. Setting / Problem Solving:
Picture 2. Try to have different
pairs from the previous
activities so that students can
work with other classmates,
creating partnership among
them. Students should
notice that we use a lot of
imperatives. Even if they
havent been presented to
these sentences, they have
probably already heard them.
3.2. Output Awareness: It is
interesting to get students
to perform some of the
situations in the classroom to
check their understanding and
use of stress and intonation.
3.3. Correction Technique:
Play the Foolshow the
meaning that students might
convey if they choose an
inappropriate verb.
3.4. Link: Brainstorm students
favorite commercials and list

ACTIVITIES
TG (Activity 1)
1. DURATION: 15-18
minutes
2. MAIN OBJECTIVE:
Get students to exchange
information among
themselves giving them
a semantic control of the
Simple Present.
NOTE: Whenever you
present a new structure,
you might prefer to stick
to its semantic aspects.
In other words, you want
students to interact with
it as a fixed expression
giving little or no attention
to its structural variants.
3. HINTS
3.1. Setting / Problem
Solving: Picture 8. Ask
your students to collect
at least one piece of
information from another
student. The best way
to do it is by asking your
students to stand up and
move around asking the
questions. Explain how to
ask questions.
3.2. Output Awareness:
Demand appropriate
questions from your
students and ask them to
answer using the possible
ways to do it, preferrably
complete answers.
NOTE: The issue of giving
complete answers or not
might be a bit tricky at
this moment.
Sometimes a complete
answer might sound
arrogant, impolite.
Nonetheless, students at
this moment are being
presented to sentence
level. You might present
other short informal or
colloquial sentences
during the activity. At
the end of the class, talk
about this issue in their
mother tongue.
Explain why youre
requesting complete
answersraise students
awareness of the fact
that sometimes they may
sound unrealistic.
3.3. Correction Technique:
Prefer Rephrasing with
board support. Avoid a
detailed explanation of
the Simple Present.
3.4. Link: Tell your
students they are now
going to work on a brief
Interactional Talk and
identify the use of the
Simple Present and
Imperative.
