Detalles de la lección

This lesson is designed for intermediate learners, makes use of the Audio-Lingual and Direct Methods, and is in the Present, Practice, Produce format.
 
Stage Aim 1:
Introduction—The teacher and the student greet each other and introduce themselves.
 
Stage Aim 2:
The teacher opens up his PowerPoint presentation and introduces the topic of the day’s lesson: how to pronounce the letters gh in English.  English has rules for how gh is pronounced in different situations.
 
Stage Aim 3:
The teacher asks the student whether he or she is familiar with the rules on how to pronounce the letter combination gh in English.  The teacher explains the rules for how to pronounce gh:
 
1)At the beginning of a word: ghost, ghetto, ghee
 
2)At the end of a word in certain words:
 
        In the words laugh, rough, tough, enough, trough, cough
         or
        In the words dough, though, thorough, furlough
 
3)Combined with the letter [i]:
 
         In the middle of a syllable or a word: alright, light, tight, sight, right,               might, knight, night, bright, blight, plight
         or
         at the end of a word: high and thigh
 
4)Combined with ei in a syllable of a word: neighbor and weight versus height
 
5)Combined with ai in a syllable of a word: straight
 
These rules may seem random or arbitrary, but to be fluent in English, you must have these rules memorized.
 
Stage Aim 4:
 
The teacher plays a recording of a person pronouncing certain words with gh in them.  The student must listen to the recording and write down each word.  The teacher will verify the student’s answers.
 
Stage Aim 5:
The teacher will perform a series of drills with the student to practice his or her pronunciation of gh in English words.
 
Stage Aim 6:
The teacher gives the student twenty sentences to read out loud in the PowerPoint presentation.  The teacher corrects the student’s pronunciation, if necessary, as the student reads the text.
 
Stage Aim 7:  
The teacher gives the student several words with gh in them to use in a role play.  The role play will take place at a doctor’s office.  In the role pay, the student will be a doctor and the teacher will be the doctor’s patient. The student will be given ten words with gh in them to use in the role play.
 
Stage Aim 8:
The teacher wraps up the lesson and asks the student concept check questions to verify that the student understands the content of the day’s lesson and the instructions for the homework due by the next class.
