"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to start with a fun icebreaker. I want you to pair up with the person next to you. Once you’ve paired up, greet each other in English. You can say, ‘Hello! My name is…’ and then ask your partner for their name. Go ahead and practice this for a few minutes. Ready? Let’s go!"
"Great job, everyone! Now that you’ve introduced yourselves, let’s move on to some important vocabulary for greetings and self-introduction. I’m going to write some key phrases on the board.
Repeat after me:
These phrases will help you in our conversations today. Don’t worry if you don’t remember everything right now; we’ll practice a lot!"
"Next, I’m going to give each of you a greeting card. On this card, I want you to write your name and three things about yourself that you would like to share with others. For example, you could write your age, your favorite hobby, or where you’re from.
Once I hand these out, take a moment to fill them out. If you have any questions or need help, just raise your hand!"
"Now that you’ve filled out your cards, let’s practice using the vocabulary we learned. I want you to turn to a different partner and introduce yourself using the information on your card. Remember to use the phrases we practiced earlier, such as ‘Hello! My name is…’
I’ll be walking around to listen and help as needed. Let’s begin!"
"Okay, everyone! Can I have your attention, please? I’d like you to either place your filled-in greeting cards into this box in front of me, or if you want, I’ll randomly check a few of them to see how you did. This will help me understand what you’ve learned today.
Please make sure your cards are completed before submitting them!"
"Fantastic work today, everyone! To wrap up, let’s quickly recap the key phrases and vocabulary we practiced. Who can tell me one greeting we learned? How about one way to ask for someone’s name?
Remember, you guys did an amazing job introducing yourselves. For homework, I’d like you to write a short paragraph introducing yourself using the vocabulary we practiced today.
Make sure you keep it simple and fun! We will collect your homework, but don’t worry—no presentations this time.
Thank you for a great lesson, and I can’t wait to see you next time!"
