Урок розвитку навичок слухання за темою "Sports" у 4 класі

There are 5 pupils in this class, one boy and four girls. They are 9 years old. Two students are strong and feel confident in speaking and listening. One student has come this year; he is weak and needs a lot of support and correction. One learner is very shy. All pupils like working in pairs and groups very much.

To develop pupils’ listening.

To develop children’s speaking skills.

To activate learners’ vocabulary on the topic Sports

To give pupils controlled and fluency practice on the topic.

For the half of this class listening is a challenge and I understand that I have to develop it. These pupils find listening difficult and they need as much practice as possible. I’ve chosen this listening because it is in the children’s coursebook . My pupils do different kinds of sport, so this topic might be interesting for them and it will help me develop pupils’ listening and speaking skills.

recording

My pupils learnt the topic Sports a month ago. They have learnt names of sports; they divided sports into individual, team kinds of sport and sports where there is a ball, into outdoor and indoor kinds of sport. They are familiar with collocations go/play/do with sports. They talked on this topic using these collocations. The students liked the topic very much, they are interested in sports, many of them visit different sport clubs, so it might help them to understand the recording and talk on the topic.

Pre-listening task

to activate learners’ vocabulary and get the learners interested in the topic

Ask pupils to remember as many kinds of sports as they can. Divide pupils into 2 teams and ask them to write as many words as they remember. Check learners’ understanding by ICQs. Monitor children and control if weak pupils work .Check words and decide which team is the winner. Say that we are going to listen to the audio where children are talking about their favourite kinds of sport. Show children four photos of children and ask them to predict their names and favourite sports (Appendix 2) .Children will predict (In my opinion, Rosy is number 4.I think Kareem’s favourite sport is volleyball).

Say pupils that children in the task will not say names of their favourite sports, they will say riddles and we will have to solve them, that  that’s why we will prepare for this, we will practise, solve some riddles. Divide pupils into pairs and give them riddles. Give the instruction to solve them one by one and get points for right answers. Explain that the right answers for checking their answers will be on the back. Check learners’ understanding by ICQs. Monitor pupils during their work for supporting and help.  Decide who winners are.

Encourage pupils to pronounce new words after showing each picture, correct incorrect pronunciation .Check children’s understanding by CCQs. Remove words from the board and leave only flashcards. Ask children to match words with cards. Then ask one child to remove one flashcard from the board, other learners will guess what picture is missing. Do it with all words.

To help learners understand more detail

Say children to listen to the audio again and fill the gaps (Appendix 1.Task 2).For stronger pupils there will be one box with words for the whole task. For weaker pupils the task will be divided into four parts (every part for different child from listening) and there will be one box with words for every section.

Post-listening task

To develop learners’ speaking skills

Divide children into pairs. Give them dialogues. Children will have to talk about sport that they do and also where and when they do it. Weaker pupils will have some prompts in the brackets for answering (Appendix 4). Two students will read the dialogue and add their information as the example for others. Pupils will work. Monitor pupils‘ language for eliciting good language and mistakes during their speaking. Reorganise pairs and ask pupils to talk without the pattern. Monitor pupils‘ language for eliciting good language and mistakes during their speaking again.  Ask volunteers to show their dialogues for the whole class.
