meeting and talking.

This stage is for the students to hear the language in a natural context. Tell them they are going to hear the

box. Give the students a few minutes to read the words and the dialogue. Play the audio. Ask them to check their
answers in pairs. Play again if necessary. Review the answers.
Then show the students the contractions reference box. Demonstrate what a contraction is and when we use
them and then ask them to fill in the three gaps with the full form. Check the answers and then practice the
pronunciation.

10 mins.
This stage is for the students to use the language in a communicative task. The students need to walk around the

start and add them to the board, so the students have a reference if necessary. Do a quick demonstration with a
student in the class. During feedback, you can ask them to tell you about one classmate. Put the following on the
board so the students have a model to respond
His/her name is ...
He/she is from ...

Model the word. Elicit how many syllables. Use your fingers to highlight this. Then ask where the stress is. Add
the word and stress pattern to the board. Then show the students the chart with the different stress patterns.
