Level of Class: A2 (Late elementary/ pre-intermediate) Teenagers(14-16 years old) Lesson Objectives: Students will demonstrate their understanding of the first conditional through various activities. 1. Students will practice using the first conditional in gap fill activities (learners will choose the correct verb form in order to correctly complete the sentences) 2. Students will show their understanding of the difference between present simple and future simple. 3. Students will converse with each other during an interactive grammar activity. (students will display their understanding of first conditional by verbally creating and forming sentences with each other, generating grammatically correct sentences in the first conditional) Nationality/First Language: Chinese learners who speak mandarin Assumed Knowledge: 1. Students would already know present simple, present continuous, past simple for common verbs, and would be familiar with will for future events. 2. They would be familiar with grammatical terminology, such as the names of the tenses they already know, subject, auxiliary verb, negative form, etc. 3. They have not been taught the first conditional before. 4. A few of the students will have heard the first conditional form. 3 Length of Lesson: 60 mins Anticipated Problems : 1. Students may use other modal verbs instead of 'will' in main clause. 2. Students, by mistake, might apply the simple future when writing ‘if’ clauses while using simple present when writing main clauses.
