 Content

Activity 1: Warm up: Introduction
- Write the word TET on the board and ask Ss to give any words they know relating to the topic.
- T may allow Ss to give a Vietnamese word and ask other Ss in the class if they know the equivalent in English. Write on the corner of the board a list of the words which Ss cannot translate and ask them to keep a record for later reference when the Unit finishes.
- Let Ss open their books and start the lesson.
Activity 2 :
-Ask Ss to look at the first sentence of the listening.
-T may ask Ss what the expect to hear in the listening like ‘What will they talk about ?’, ‘When is Tet this year?’, ‘ What do you do at Tet?’… and in this way T may introduce some new words or revise the ones already learnt to prepare Ss well for the listening such as ‘ celebrate’, ‘ decorate’ and ‘fireworks’.
-Play the recording. Ss listen and read. Then check to make sure that they pronounce the key words correctly.
Activity 3 :
-Ask Ss to work independently.
-Ideally ask them to answer the questions without referring to the listening. Then allow them to share their answer with their partners before discussing as a class.
- Ask them to explain why they think a statement is false and they can correct it.
Activity 4 :
-Ask SS to work in pairs. Tell Ss to refer back to the conversation to find the information. If there is time, T may ask them if the information given is true and if they can add anything
Activity 5 :
-Let Ss do the matching independently as the vocabulary is quite simple and some of them will be familiar to them like school ground, books, swimming pool, etc.
-Go round and check if they are labeling the pictures correctly.
- T can then check the answers with the whole class and show them how to pronounce each word by saying it and asking them to repeat. Make sure that Ss understand the meanings of the words first.
Activity 6 :
-Ask Ss to answer this question by referring to the pictures. Picture 4 might get different answers from Ss in the south where it’s very hot and Ss in the north where Tet is usually the coldest time of the year. This fact is good for Ss as they can learn about the different climates for Tet in different parts of Viet Nam.
Activity 7 :
- T will demonstrate this game by using the board and writing three things/ activities T likes about Tet.
-T can then say each of them aloud, using ‘ I like/ love/ enjoy/….’ To make the task clear to the Ss. - Then T asks the Ss to do the same. Go round and provides Ss with any words they would like to use but they don’t know.
-After finishing, Ss can share their likes by sticking their papers onto the walls of the classroom or reading them aloud to their class. If T does not have time for this activity in class, ask Ss to do it at home.
