Kudin is at a shopping mall. He wants to buy some clothes. T: May I have a shirt,please? T models this again and gets P to chorus 3 times as a class before checking some individual chorusing. T uses soft correction for any drilling errors and P repeat again. When modeling/chorusing is finished then T uses a paper clip to put the visual on the upper left side of the flip chart. T continues. T: What size do you want? T models this again and gets P to chorus 3 times as a class before checking some individual chorusing. T uses soft correction for any drilling errors and Ss repeat again. When modeling/chorusing is finished then T uses a paper clip to put the visual directly under the first. T continues the whole conversations using the same method.

Lets practice again. T gets class to repeat dialogue one more time. Now, this half of the class is Kudin and this half is Salesgirl. T gets each half of the class to repeat their part of the dialogue. After once or twice, T switches halves, so Ps are performing other part of dialogue. T: Now open your notebooks and write the conversation between Kudin and Salesgirl. T monitors class by walking around randomly to ensure they are writing the conversation correctly. Once a majority of the class has completed their dialogues, the T puts them in pairs to practice the dialogue, encouraging them not to use their notes but to speak the dialogue from memory. T gives them 3 or 4 minutes to practice this. T randomly calls on pairs to stand and give their dialogue. T creates a shopping mall environment in the class. T hangs and places the clothes in class. T asks P to imagine that they want to buy clothes for coming Hari Raya. T divide the class into 2 group ( Salesman/Salesgirl and Customers). T gives out a set of fake money to P. T will change the role after 15 minutes. Extension: If there is remaining time in the class, the T will distributes worksheet to pupils.
