Lesson Plan

Topic Role Play Date _____________________ No. of Students _______ Time: 45 minutes

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: The trainees will be able to use role-plays in the ELT classroom.

RATIONALE . why select these linguistic/conceptual objectives) LINGUISTIC:

Role-play is an active phase of learning, so it involves a number of language functions. Students should pay attention to use right language form to express those functions.

CONCEPTUAL/CULTURAL:The conversation goes on in a break, so the language used should be informal to some extent. Since the conversation takes place in a staffroom between colleagues, the speakers should keep polite manner.

ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE . what do you assume learners know/can do ) LINGUISTIC:

All trainees are familiar with the vocabulary and grammatical rules related to the topic, so it is unnecessary to present those language elements.

CONCEPTUAL/CULTURAL:

Most of the trainees have the experiences of role-play, but they are not theoretically clear about the definition, procedures, advantages, problems and solutions of role-plays. It is difficult for them to show respect, tolerance by being polite in situations of strong disagreement.
