Afrikaans Assumed Knowledge:
Language:
2. They will be familiar with the use of “will” for future events likely to
happen.
, 3. Students will be familiar with the basic grammatical terms and
vocabulary used in this lesson.
4. Some of them might be familiar with the basic sentence structure,
but I will still make it clear for everyone.
Anticipated problems:
1. Firstly, I personally think that students (especially at such a low
level) are often and easily tempted to switch to their native language
or may ask me or other students to translate some things to their
own language when they are struggling.
Solution: I will emphasize the importance of keeping the classroom
“English” and will keep directing them back to English with positive
encouragement.
2. Students might struggle to understand the form of the sentence
used for the first conditional: “If + subject + present simple”.
Solution: I will use sufficient examples and do often concept checks in
Length of Lesson: 60 mins Anticipated Problems:
between the lesson, I will also provide more reference to this in the
controlled practice activity provided.
3. The first conditional might be confusing since it includes two
clauses that implement two different tenses. The first clause being
the main clause – present simple tense, and the second clause being
the ‘if’ clause – future simple tense.
Solution: I will make sure to emphasize the function of the first
conditional at the beginning of the lesson as well as making it clear as
to what the requirements are for certain events to take place in the
future. I will also explain how the probability of an event determines
which conditional will be used.
