Description of lesson: Les Portables
Teacher: Ann Griffiths

Clip 1 of 3: Starting the lesson by making links with previous work and introducing a new topic.
The teacher begins the lesson by briefly recapping work covered in the previous lesson and the students complete a matching activity of computer-related vocabulary in English and French. The theme of today’s lesson is then introduced which is mobile phones and their uses and dangers. The teacher shows the students her own mobile and asks them to comment on it. She then explains that she only uses it to make calls and send messages.

The group is then split into pairs and the students are told to discuss their own use of mobiles. Vocabulary is provided on the whiteboard to support the students in this activity. After this, the whiteboard is used to engage the whole class, who match key words and expressions in French on the topic of mobile phones. This builds vocabulary and prepares students for examination-type reading tasks
