In case anyone needs it I have reworked my lesson.

Hi and class rules

intro - have you been lost

basic directions elicit and drill

Video - asking for directions. Q&A afterwards (students shown questions before the video)

Asking directions drill

Giving directions drill

Map - I have made the map much more complicated and included sites that the students would know (I am in Daegu but most of these can be used or substituted)

Example. I ask students to direct me. They tend to start off with just go straight, left etc so once they have tried I normally mention street names (although they dont have really in Korea but do in other countries) and places they will see or pass which are good to help people remember the direction.

Activity 1 - Pair work - Students take in turns to give directions using the map on the board. I go around and select people to give me directions during activity.

I then show students a map with a blocked road and explain that sometimes we need to give different directions and elicit new route from the students. This is used later.

Activity 2 - Blindfold race - The class are sat in teams (4-6). Each team has a colour or name. My classroom has 6 big tables so each table is a location (bank etc) and also is one block. I put the street names on the floor and create a map on a slide to help them. One student from the team is blindfolded. I help them move but the rest of the team must direct us to my chosen location and are timed. The fastest team wins. I am doing sticker rewards this semester in class so the winning team get stickers. Oh I normally also block off one route to make a little harder.

Listening assessment - I read out dialogue with directions (remove from board) and ask a question (in the PPT). First team to put hands up and answer correctly win.

Speaking assessment - elicit asking and giving directions vocabulary with students.

Normally there is 5 minutes left dependent on classroom management. If so because I am english I show them a pop video of a young english boyband called 'one direction'. Tenuous link I know but it seems to get their attention and they sing in english. I also explain at the beginning we will watch if we have time and it helps to keep timewasting to a minimum.

Hope someone finds this useful

Hi

It was called 'one thing' but I think any video will do. It wasnt a mind blowing video but I was playing it safe as was a last minute addition and I couldnt vet any others for naughtiness :)

Hope its useful :)

Which video did you use for the Q&A part? I couldnt find a video. I tried to find any on youtube, but there arent any that show the way while telling us the way. I hope I said that right.
