This is part of a series of lesson plans for teaching basic English to refugees with elementary to intermediate English language skills. The plans are in twos, each pair focusing on a particular thematic point, rather than an area of grammar, function or vocabulary.
JOBS AND INTERVIEWS - PART TWO
For part one click here.
AIM - This is designed to introduce the names of various jobs and occupations, vocabulary associated with them and works on practicing for job interviews.
MATERIALS - Photocopies of a job interview dialogue, small pieces of paper with names of jobs written on them, sellotape.
LEVEL - Elementary/intermediate
LESSON PLAN
1 - Remind students that you asked them to find out some details of their dream/perfect job in the previous lesson.
Ask them to write this on a piece of paper (you may need to give them time to look up the name of this job on their smart phones). Ask them not to share this information with anyone else yet.
2 - Ask them to think of the perfect job for you the teacher (if you were not a teacher) and if possible explain why.
3 - Write the names of the jobs on the board and ask the students to say who they thought chose which job (and why, if possible).
4 - Ask some students to explain what is the perfect job for them, this is quite difficult so get the more confident students to do this to the whole class or get others to say why to each other or in small groups..
5 - Now explain to students they are going to do a job interview. Ask if anyone has done one, what was the job they wanted and what questions people usually ask in a job interview.
6 - Write down the questions on the board.
e.g Where did you study?
Do you speak foreign languages?
Do you have experience?
With the help of the students solve any language difficulties.
7 Hand out the photocopy of the job interview. You may have to adapt this to your own particular teaching situation. Also putting on their phones as a PDF file is an option, if photocopies are unavailable and wi-fi is,
8 - Ask students to read through this and find any words/phrases/ideas they are not familiar with. Encourage students to use Google Translate on their smart phones to help, if this is an option where you teach.
9 - Ask one of the quicker/more confident students to help you with the dialogue, if they wish to. Ask them to choose a role and read through it together to the side and deal with any pronunciation issues.
10 - Read aloud the dialogue for the class. Deal with any pronunciation issues.
11 - Ask students to do the interview together in pairs. Students then swap roles.
12 - If time permits, students use this dialogue to write their own version with their dream/perfect job. Otherwise set it for the next lesson.
