Lesson plan CCQs Structures

Time: 1 hr 15 mins.

Materials: Grammar reference books/ handouts.

Overall Aims: The trainees will be able to look up structures, provide appropriate contexts
and write useful concept checking questions for grammatical structures at different levels.
This lesson also serves as revision and further practice of language analysis, which is often
a challenging area for trainees.
Warmer: 5 mins
Aim: to check that they have a clear idea about problem areas.
What are useful guidelines for concept check questions?
Discuss in small groups and elicit:

Make sure that you are checking the meaning


Make sure that you are specific about the meaning.
Avoid the target language in the question
Grade the vocabulary and structures that you use below the target language

Recap of timelines: 15 mins


Aim: to ensure that they have a clear idea of timelines (this should be revision form the
video) and how to use them.
Give an example on the board:
Ive been running, Im hot.
and
Shes been reading since she came home.
Ensure that they realise the tenses are the same (and elicit that its the present perfect
continuous) ask them in pairs to draw the time lines and then elicit an answer.
Now ask them to write concept check questions half the class for one sentence, half for
the other. Regroup and compare with each others and then with possible answers on
sheet.
Further practice with timelines. 10 mins
Aim: To allow them to become more familiar with time lines and to emphasise that they are
not always helpful!
Give out handout with timelines to draw. Trainees do this is pairs.

Further practice of concept checking


15 mins
Aim: to give further practice in writing ccqs.
Trainees in same pairs write concept check questions for each of the five pieces of language.
When most have finished, elicit answers and give out sheet of possible answers.

Further practice of concept checking and analysing language. 25 mins


Aim: to give further practice of writing ccqs and to give revision and practice of analysing
language in terms of MFP.
Give trainees the following sentence:
He must be so pleased with his exam results!
They collaborate in groups to think of a good context for this elicit one or two.
Ask them to think of the meaning of this structure (use grammar refs if necessary)
Then CCQs . Then form and pronunciation analysis.
Provide answer sheet for the faster finishers and ask them to consider what activities they
could do in class to give further practice of this structure.
If any groups finish this task, give them possible answer sheet and further examples to
analyse and write ccqs for.
She gets her nails done every week.
If I have a headache, I take an asprin.
Have answers ready for finishers to check themselves:
Set assignment 5 mins
Aim: to ensure they understand the assignment brief.
Talk through assignment show them that it is the same as they have been practicing in class.
