Date of lesson plan: August, 16th 2016.
Topic: Recommendations
Teacher's name:  Paolo Mazariego
                         Maria José Aguirre
                         Xiomara Gonzalez
                         Adriana Turcios


In this lesson plan, the skill taught was listening, students had to hear an audio and fill in the blanks in a conversation.

Xiomara started the class and make two groups, she gave students some phrases and we had to put them in the correct place either to give or accept recommendations. After that, Paolo play the audio "Giving a recommendation or accepting a recommendation". He played the audio twice, it was a good idea so that students could understand better and pay more attention to the details in the conversation. At the same time we had to fill in the blanks in the conversation given according to the audio. We had to compare with the person next to us, that's great because sometimes not all the students get the key points or the details and are not able to complete the exercises. Then, Paolo asked two students to say the conversation out loud.

Adriana continue with the last part of the lesson and formed pairs, we had to create a conversation in which student A knew a restaurant and will give some recommendations to student B about the most delicious food in the restaurant, students B had never gone to the restaurant.
