Esp vocabulary Teaching at the Vocational Secondary School of Furniture Industry

Materials: syllabus: table with the pictures of the basic measuring tools, whiteboard, markers

Stage 9: Practice – labelling exercise, speaking Time: 8 minutes Interaction: T – Ss in pairs
Aim: to consolide the new words, practising using the new vocabulary, practising the both knowledge of English and technical mind.
Materials: syllabus, exercise 4.3.
Procedure: Ss in pairs match and label the pictures with the relevant words. T shares Ss´ solutions with the whole class. Ss try to describe the purpose of a relevant measuring device to her/his partner. T monitors their mini-dialogues and shares notices with the whole class.


Stage 10: Calming down: Hot seat - a competition Time: 10 minutes Interaction: T- Ss individually
Aim: to revise ESP vocabulary in a funny way, to relax in a pleasant atmosphere, to release the tension, to develop ability to speak (meaning description)
Materials: whiteboard, markers, a chair
Procedure:

• 
  Split the class into two teams.
  
• 
  Take an empty chair and put it at the front of the class, facing the team members. The chair is a 'hot seat'.
  
• 
  Get one member from each team to sit in that chair, so they are facing their team-mates and have their back to the board.
  
• 
  T has a list of vocabulary items that s/he wants to use in this game.
  
• 
  T takes the first word from that list and writes it clearly on the board.
  
• 
  The aim of the game is for Ss in the teams to describe that word, using synonyms, antonyms, definitions etc. to their team mate who is in the hot seat - that person can't see the word!
  
• 
  The student in the hot seat listens to their team mates and tries to guess the word.
  
• 
  The first hot seat student to say the word wins a point for their team.
  
• 
  Then T changes the students over, with a new member of each team taking their place in their team's hot seat.
  
• 
  Then T writes the next word. There is a time limit. T evaluates the game.
