LEARNERS PRIOR KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS

In Face2Face, unit 2, learners were introduced to some prepositions and phrases.

Prepositions are problematic for all learners of English despite of their levels. Therefore, this
activity gives learners the opportunity to recycle what they have learnt in past. Students will do
this activity after students finish doing exercise 7b in the book.

III.

OBJECTIVES

Students will be able to:

Circle the correct prepositions for at least nine sentences.

IV.

ACTIVITY SEQUENCE / PROCEDURE

Give the handout to learners

Ask them to work individually and circle the correct prepositions 13 sentences.
Tell them that they 6 minutes to do the exercises
Ask learners to check their answers in pairs
Go over answers with the whole class.

V.

CLOSURE

Praise students on their performance.

Reflection:
I make out this activity since prepositions are problematic for Arabic learners in terms of
productive skills. In opinion, I think the best way to make learners learn how prepositions work
in English is to provide them with exercises about prepositions and make learners discover the
patterns themselves
