Lesson Plan

• Identify and use complex sentence structures (subordination, relative clauses) in spoken responses.
• Apply appropriate modal verbs, conditionals, and passive voice to convey nuance.
• Incorporate a range of linking words and idiomatic expressions to organise ideas.
• Produce a coherent spoken answer to interview, picture‑description, role‑play, or discussion tasks within the allotted time.

• Projector and screen for sample videos.
• Printed worksheets with grammar and lexical tables.
• Cue cards with speaking prompts (interview, picture sets, role‑play scenarios).
• Audio recorder or smartphones for self‑assessment.
• Whiteboard and markers.

Begin with a quick “guess the structure” game to spark interest. Review students’ recent speaking practice and remind them of the exam’s success criteria: range, accuracy, and fluency. Explain that today they will deliberately embed targeted grammar and lexical items into four common speaking tasks.

1. Do‑now (5'): Students write one complex sentence and one linking phrase on a sticky note; share quickly.
2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Review key grammatical structures and lexical resources with examples on the projector.
3. Modelled response (10'): Teacher demonstrates a full interview answer, highlighting the use of each target structure.
4. Paired practice (15'): Learners choose a cue‑card task, plan (2'), then perform a 1‑minute spoken response while partner notes language use.
5. Feedback cycle (10'): Whole‑class listening of selected recordings, peer‑feedback using a checklist, and teacher correction.
6. Reflection (5'): Students record one strength and one area to improve for homework.

Summarise how the targeted grammar and lexical items enhanced the clarity and sophistication of the spoken answers. For the exit ticket, each student writes a 30‑second response to a new prompt, using at least two of the structures practiced. Homework: complete the worksheet by creating two original interview questions and answering them with the learned structures.
