Lesson Plan Week 3

Methods / Approaches: a. Direct Method - The DEM techniques to introduce the new lexical signs, and they

are the everyday vocabulary. I used the target language nearly 100% of the time in my lesson plan.

b. Functional Notional Approach - I used the function of "What did you do on specific

day” to discuss the dates and personal activities or events. c. Cooperative Learning and Student-Centered approaches - The students will be split in groups to ask each other what did they do on specific day?
