                                                                                      Procedure

I.      Greeting, duty’s report.

II.   Warm up.

a)    Aimgiving: Today we’ll speak about one of the important profession – “teacher’, listen to stories about teachers and consolidate the structure “used to”.

b)    Giving definitions to the words “learn” and “teach”.

T: Now I’ll divide you into two groups (green and red cards). What is the difference between two words “teach” and “learn”? Try to write definitions to each word.

Suggested Ps’answers: “to teach” – to give sb. knowledge, skill; to give lessons to sb. in a school, college or university; to help someone learn about something by giving them information; to show someone how to do something; to tell someone how they should think$ to give someone advice about something that they already know. “to learn” – to get knowledge or experience by doing smth; to study and repeat smth in order to be able to remember it to become aware of smth by hearing about it from sb else; to gain knowledge or skill in a subject or activity;  we can compare this word with a sponge; to teach sb smth/how to do smth.

III.           Consolidation of the grammar: expressing habits.

T: At the previous lesson I taught you how to express habits. Let’s see how you have learnt the rules of expressing habits.

a)    Answer the questions:

                          1. T: What adverbs of frequency do you know?

P1,2,3: Hardly ever, frequently, usually, rarely, seldom, often, normally, sometime, occasionally.

2.                  T: Where do adverbs of frequency come in the sentence?

P1: Adverbs of frequency come before  the main verb, but after the verb “to be”, for e.g.

P2: Sometimes, usually and occasionally can come at the beginning or the end of a sentence.

3.               T: When can the Present Continuous be used?

PЗ: The Present Continuous can be used to express a habit which happens often. It happens more that is usually, for example.

4.           T: What do “will” and “would” express?

P4: “Will” and “Would” express typical behave our. They describe both pleasant and unpleasant habits, for example.

5.           T: What can you say about the structure “used to + infinitive”?

P: This structure expresses a past action or a state. It has no present equivalent. The negative and the question are formed with the help of the auxiliary verb “did” and “use to”: In a narrative, when expressing a series of past actions, it is common to begin with “used to”, then continue with “would”.

6.               T: What does the structure “be/get used to + gerund” express?

P6: It expresses an action that was difficult, strange or unusual before. Here “used” is an adjective.

b)    T: Let’s do some exercises and check up your knowledge of the structure “used to”.

Activity 1. Put the words into the correct order to make sentences.

Activity 2. Complete the sentences with “used to” or “use to”.

Activity 3. Rewrite the sentences using the negative form of used to.

Activity 4. iTools (Solutions. Intermediate. Unit 2. Grammar 2). Put the words into the correct order to make sentences.

IV.           Speaking.

a)    T: There are a lot of interesting professions in the world, but I think “teacher” is one of the most important and wonderful profession. From my childhood I wanted to be a teacher as my mother. I used to play school with my friends. They would be pupils. And I would be a teacher. My mother was a teacher of Russian l-ge and Russian literature. She had been teaching for 40 years. Now she is a pensioner. She was a very talented teacher. Pupils loved and respected my mother. Now her first pupils are pensioners too, but they don’t forget her, visit her and congratulate her with each holiday.

b)    And whose relative are teachers by a profession? Can tell us some words about them?

V.               Listening and speaking.

1.           Pre-listening task.

a)     T: Look at the pictures. What are the teachers doing? What are the Ss doing?

Suggested Ps’anwers: In the top picture the teacher is standing at the board with a pointer, and the Ss are sitting in rows of desks, all paying attention to the teacher at the front.

In the second picture, the teacher is mingling with the Ss, giving them individual attention, while other students work together in pairs and groups.

In the third picture, the teacher is monitoring a student who is working on his own on a computer.

b)    T: How have teaching styles changed over the years?

Suggested Ps’ answers: The pictures reflect the change in teaching styles over the years, from strict teacher-led lessons carried out from the front of the class only, to more relaxed pair and group work with the teacher working among the students.

In future Ss will do much of the learning by themselves, using computer technology, and the teacher becomes more of a “facilitator”.

2.    Listen to four people Alan John Liz Kate taking about a teacher they’ll never forget. What characteristics of a good and a bad teacher do they mention?

T: Fix expressions to the correct characteristics:

Good characteristics: sense of humour; good at controlling the class and making students pay attention; making the subject memorable; treating Ss fairly; keeping a distance.

Bad characteristics: scaring students; teaching like a soldier; causing physical pain; trying to be like a teenager. (T: Now open your SB p.135 and find sentences with the structure “used to” (3 рupils)).

3.    Discuss the questions (ex.3 p.81)

a)         Why did Alan like his teacher? What are some of the things he’d do?

b)         Why didn’t John like his teacher? What are some of the things he used to do?

c)          What does Liz say about her teacher? What will she never forget?

d)         Why does Kate have two opposing views of Mr. Brown? 

VI.           Ps’ projects “Teacher by pupils’ eyes” (Work in groups) (a Teacher of a New Formation, of 12 year education). What characteristics of a good teacher do you want he has?
