CLASSROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE

PUPIL RESPONSE

Creating a pleasant classroom situvation.

Teacher enters the classroom with a pleasant smile and greets students and they reciprocate. Teacher asks some informal questions to create a rapport.



Introduction
Teacher shows a pen which can be misunderstood as a toy in one look. Learners share their opinions.

                       Tr:  You are right…!!  It is a toy but it is a pen…that can  only be find with a keen observation… we can find this kind of ‘tricky things’  in English also. Do you want to know about them?



Micro processing of the Input

Presentation of the Structure- Idioms

Learners are provided with a sample conversation featuring the idiom “to be a chicken” when at a local amusement park. Chart was used for the purpose.
            
Arun: Ooh, wow. Look at that roller coaster, Jane! It goes upside-down!
Syam: My stomach aches just looking at it. I will not ride that.
Arun: Ah, come on. Don’t be a chicken!

Tr: What is the meaning of  don’t  be a chicken’ here?



                                                 


Then the teacher writes the idioms on blackboard and explained its meaning.


·         Don’t be a chicken
Don’t be shy  or afraid


Learners are asked to tell the meaning again and then explains the idioms using a chart….





                                  
Establishment of the structure -Language Game

Learners are divided into several groups and  game rule are explained :

Tr :  We will now move to the quiz. I will show some idioms on flash card to each group.  If the group know the meaning of the idiom, they can answer it on their activity card.  Only one chance  to each group. If they are right, then they will get 2 marks. There will only be one round to play. The group that score highest mark will be declared as the winner. All the best…
Idioms represented on flashcards  are

                  1.      Piece of cake
                  2.      Eye for n eye
                  3.       Crocodile tears
                  4.      Cat nap
                  5.      Kill two birds  with one stone 
                  6.      Ball is in your court



Assessment-Independent practice

Independent Working time can be used as a final assessment of the skill.

Tr: So these are idioms…Idioms are group of words, in which the figurative meaning is different from literal meaning.  When certain words come together in a phrase, they can mean something very different. 

After the game learners are asked to do the textual activity to pick out the idioms form the passage and match idioms with their meaning.



Review
Teacher summaries the whole session and ask some questions to student randomly;
                                            What is idiom?
                                            Can you say one idiom and its meaning?
                                             What is the meaning of black sheep?
