Tasks planned and timing
• •
•
Power Point to introduce the subject: what it is about, the explanation of the topics and some examples. Students will be provided with a handout with their tasks. There will be some different kinds of exercises: working in pairs, matching pictures with a sentence, filling gaps, plenary to discuss conclusions Homework: some exercises of the handout to clarify new concepts or do some research on their own.
