Unit 1, Part 2 Overview In part 2 of this unit, which can be completed in about 60 minutes of class time , students will focus on talking about their majors, school years, and clubs, all of which are typical topics of conversation for university students meeting for the first time. • What’s your major? • What year are you? • Are you in a club? In the first Sounding Natural Note , students will review Golden Rule 1 (avoid long silences) and work on a common repair strategy for Getting Needed Vocabulary (page 122): How do you say ~ in English? In the second note, students will learn how to show interest in what their partner is saying by using common reaction expressions (page 123). Wrapping up the lesson is an Interview & Report speaking task that will enable students to review part 1 content, practice making longer turns, and work on listening actively. Generic 90-minute Lesson Plan Things to bring: • Equipment for playing the textbook audio tracks • (optional) Handouts (vocab quiz, worksheets, etc) 1. Warm-up options • Quickly go over the 1st-time greeting on page 7 and the Model Sentences from part 1 by having students repeat after you. • Working in groups of four, do three rounds of timed conversations with the part 1 content: students introduce themselves, then talk about where they are from and where they live now. Since this is a very short conversation, it would

help to have students stand while speaking, then sit down when done. This will let you know when to move on to the next round. 2. Page 20: • Preview • Model Sentences 1: Where are you from?
