Teaching Methods:

The teaching methods will be used in this class include following three methods: Communicative Approach, Task-based Teaching Method, Audio-Lingual Approach.

Teaching Procedures:

1. Lead-in

Ask students to do a brainstorm. Ask 3 students to use the simple future tense “be going to” to describe what they want to do. And let’s see how many things each student can describe in 2 minutes.

2. Pre- listening

(1)Through question to let students understand the meaning of “resolution”. For example:

T: Look at the blackboard, here is a new word. Do you know what a resolution is?

S: ….

T: It’s a kind of promise. And we just spent our New Year holiday, do you have any new year’s promise or resolution? A year’s plan starts with spring, let’s have a group discussion about your new year’s resolution.

Then I will ask students to work in groups of 4, and list what are they going to do in this year. And then ask them to share their resolutions by using simple future tense. Such as:

I am going to& hellip;.

After this activity, I will make a short summary and move on to the next part. I will tell them all of their resolutions are very interesting, and ask them look at the pictures in 1a and have a guess what the resolutions are in each picture, and put the right number in each blank. Then check the answers according to the following dialogues:

---What is the boy going to do next year in this picture?

---He is going to learn to play the piano.

(2) Then ask students to change the address from “the boy” to “you”, and make the dialogue according to the 1b in pairs. After finished, I will invite some pairs to perform their dialogues.[page]

3. While- listening

(1) Play the record for twice, and ask students to finish the chart in 1c, write down how the different people make their resolutions work. After finished, ask students to check the answer in pairs.

A: I want to be a teacher.

B: How are you going to do that?

A: Well, I am going to study hard and get good grades.

B: Sound like a good plan, I want to get a lot of exercise.

After finished, I will ask some groups to share their ideas.
