In this lesson, students develop their conversational skills by talking about popular sports. To introduce the topic, the students identify and match different sporting activities and decide where they are popular. They then complete sentences using visual prompts to discover more sports. The students then develop their listening skills by hearing three people talking about which sports they play and answering varied comprehension questions. From the audio descriptions, the students focus on the language, differentiating the use of play, do, and go with sports activities. They also identify time phrases to talk about frequency and places people like to play or do sports. The students then complete a variety of practice activities before consolidating and personalizing the language in an interactive descriptive task. There is an additional speaking task to develop the topic further and a final speaking game to review the lesson. (by Victoria Aitken)
