Content analysis
What
Section B centers on teaching students how to initiate and sustain conversations effectively. Activity 1a, a pre-reading task, lists six common daily expressions used to open conversations, including greetings and polite questions. Activities 1b and 1c are reading comprehension exercises. In 1b, students compare two dialogues: the first is a formal exchange between two new classmates introducing themselves, while the second is a casual chat between acquaintances, which starts with simple greetings. Activity 1c requires students to match key phrases from the dialogues with their appropriate responses. Activity 1d integrates writing and speaking: students fill in two dialogue templates and role-play them with partners, practicing both formal and informal language in realistic situations. This section helps students recognize conversational patterns, use language appropriately, and build confidence through practical exercises.
Why
This lesson helps students learn and practice everyday conversation skills, such as greeting others, asking for names, and saying goodbye in various situations. It teaches the importance of starting conversations politely when making friends and adapting to middle school life. By practicing these skills, students can enhance their communication abilities and build confidence in interacting with others, whether classmates or new friends.
How
The lesson uses pictures, reading tasks, role-plays, and fill-in-the-blank exercises to guide learners step by step—from simple greetings to more in-depth conversations. Different conversational examples help students understand and apply greetings and phrases in real-life contexts. Interactive tasks like creating their own dialogues make learning engaging and encourage students to actively practice what they have learned.
