 Teaching approach: Communicative Approach
 Materials and resources: school objects – a box - colour flashcards - CD player or
computer.
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class: I will use a song to revise colours. Students will listen
and sing while they perform an action. In this first lesson I have chosen not to use ICT. I
will include them in the next lessons .I will play all the songs from the computer and I will
also take them in a pen drive in case technology does not work.
 Seating arrangement: Students will be sitting in a semi circle on the floor in order to
facilitate visual contact and interaction with the teacher and classmates.

• Cooperative work: as learners are still very young, they can play together as they will do
in this class, but they are still not aware of their classmates’ feelings or thoughts, so it is
difficult to carry out cooperative work activities.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
- Students may have problems to understand some instructions or games or that they
cannot understand what the teacher says. I will paraphrase the instruction using gestures
and mimic.
- Students may get too excited. I will provide support.
- Some students may misbehave in class. I will talk to them and try to see why they
behave in that way, trying to calm them down.
- Some students may not accept to participate in games. I will tell them that they will
have fun if they participate, but I will not insist if they do not like to play.
Potential problems students may have with the language:
- Students may not understand a question, so I will guide them pointing to pictures and
modelling the answer first.
- Some students may have problems to pronounce certain words or sounds. I will ask them
to repeat the words several times and to listen carefully to the way I pronounce them (how I
use my lips, teeth or tongue).
Assessment: I will check that students comprehend and identify the different school
objects by listening to them say the objects or perform an action with the word involved.

What is it? It is a…”
Students: “PENCIL!”
I will follow the same procedure with the rest of the school objects: paper, book and crayon.
I will have more than one school object so that I can give one object to each child while I
introduce them (i.e. I will have 16 objects).

I will ask students to make groups according to the object they have (all pencils together, all
pieces of paper together…). “Let´s make groups! All pencils stay together here, all papers
stay together here…”
I will place the colours flashcards on the walls and I will tell each group to touch a colour
flashcard.
I will explain them how to play: “Listen kids! We have four groups, you are pencils, you are
papers, you are books and you crayons. Ok?”
I will say a colour and the corresponding group goes and touches the flashcard. I will say:
“Pencils: touch yellow!. Fantastic!!! Papers touch blue! Very good! Books touch red! Well done!”
I will continue until I call out all the groups and ask each group to touch two colours.
Transition:“A job well done!!! I will tell students to put the school objects back in the box.

Students wave goodbye while they sing.
- HOMEWORK:
In this first class learners will not take any homework home. In the following lessons I will
use videos and so I will ask for permission to send a note to the families inviting students to
watch a video about school objects. In this way, children will have the possibility to share
with their family what they have learned.
