| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (deliberate mistake story) |
Teacher says: "Listen carefully to a short story about a student named Aruzhan. She wrote an advantages and disadvantages essay about ‘National holidays in Kazakhstan’. But she made a serious mistake — she wrote the essay in an informal chat style and used emojis. Listen and spot the error:
‘Nauryz is cool 😊. U can eat lots of food. But also it’s boring sometimes 🤷.’
Why is this wrong for an essay? What style should she use? What is the main problem with her register?" Teacher elicits: "She used informal language, emojis, contractions. For an academic essay we need formal style, full forms, no emojis." Then teacher shows a slide with a quick sorting task: "Which sentences are formal? Which are informal?" (3 examples). |
Students listen, identify the mistake (informal register / emojis). They volunteer answers. They sort examples on mini-whiteboards or in pairs.
Possible responses: "She used emojis and slang", "It’s not formal", "Contractions like ‘can’t’ are not allowed in formal essays." |
Descriptors only, no points: • Identifies at least one register error (informal language, emoji, contraction). • Contributes an idea about why formal style is important in academic writing. |
Slide with story and sorting activity, mini-whiteboards (or paper), markers.
AI tool: Use ChatGPT to generate the story and the sorting examples (e.g., “Create 3 formal and 3 informal sentences about Nauryz”). |
