VI.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES Transversal content:

Although the activities proposed in this class aim to be

motivational through entertainment, the theme of friendship is closely related to the civic and moral values. Fundamental capacities: Area capacities: Listening & Speaking: The entire lesson plan design relies strongly on oral comprehension (activities 1, 3 and 4) and to some extent on oral expression (warm-up, activities 2 and 5). Students interaction of a minimum quality is essential in order to accomplish the goal of the class. Reading:

Each

student

will

perform

an

individual

reading

comprehension task (the lyrics with gaps sheet). Although the reading comprehension task is not an extensive one, the reading material is a genuine English text, a sample of a language used in a popular culture. Writing:

Activity

5

puts

into

practice

and

assesses

student's

understanding of the grammatical structures learned during this class.

VII.

CONCLUSIONS With this proposal we aim to present some grammatical structures to the EFL students in a funny and accessible way.
