Разработка урока на видеоматериале сайта TED Talks для подростков с уровнем языка В1-В2
план-конспект урока по английскому языку (9, 10, 11 класс)

Lesson Plan

Name of teacher: Elena Ryabenko

Level of students: B1-B2

Aims: to master listening skills (for gist and for details)

Sub-aims: to practice functional language for giving opinion*, to practice fluency*

Personal aims: to improve timing skills

Materials: a computer with Internet connection (https://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_suarez_a_12_year_old_app_developer), an OHP, handouts with a listening task

Assumptions: students are mostly familiar with vocabulary “Computer and Technology”,

                       students are interested in the topic

Timetable fit: a follow-up lesson on extending listening and speaking skills* after studying

                      “Computer and Technology” vocabulary

Anticipated problems and solutions: -it might be difficult to understand connected authentic speech,

                                                            so subtitles can be turned on if required

                                                           -some unknown words may prevent from understanding jokes, so it’s

                                                            necessary to pre-teach them      

*optional, if 10 more minutes are added

Handout

I. Listening for details.

Listen and watch, mark the statements either True or False.

1) His favourite app was Earth Fortune.

2) He created an app Bustin Jieber because he disliked Justin Bieber.

3) Other kids ask him how to make an app because they don’t know where they can learn to do it.

4) He got the basics of programming when Apple released i-phone.

5)The i-phone software development kit provided him with more possibilities to create apps.

6) It was free to put his apps on the App Store.

7) Steve Jobs helped him to make his apps.

8) He started his App Club at school with his own money.

9) He thinks teachers can benefit from the apps created by students.

10) He aims to continue with creating apps and sharing knowledge in the future.

II. Statements to discuss.

Choose one statement you agree and one you disagree, explain why and discuss with your partners.

1. I think there is nothing special in making your own app.  Anybody can do it with modern technology.

2. I think Thomas Suares is amazing because he taught himself how to make an app.

3. I think Thomas Suares  is a bore and it’s healthier for teenagers to hang out rather than spend a lot of time at the computer.

4. I think Thomas Suares’s App Club is a great opportunity for kids to master a useful skill.
