The correct pronunciation of the specific words such as uncle/aunt, sister/brother, grandmother/grandfather, mother/father.

The correct difference in the pronunciation of “have” and “has”.

Teaching Approach: Communicative Approach.

Integration of Skills: the listening skills are integrated through the use of a song in all the activities. The reading and speaking skills are integrated through the reading of different stanzas aloud. The students will could interact among them and with the teacher. Also, a the writing task is skills are presented in the closure as homework.

Pedagogical use of ICT in class: there is no use of their netbooks. Materials: worksheets with exercises for each student, board, marker, flashcards related to the topic and tape recorder.

Seating arrangement: The Ss will sit in a semi-circle to communicate easily and everyone can see the board and their classmates.

Cooperative work: The students will work in pairs to process language and respond appropriately with a degree of ease since they manage little English.

Possible problems and possible solutions: the most important problem could be the timing and the organization of the students within the classroom once they enter there when the bell rings. The timing could be controlled by the use of new activities or games; and the organization problem could be controlled coming a bit earlier than the usual time in order to wait for them in the classroom.

Assessment: The assessment will be continuous and inseparable from instruction. It is an interactive and collaborative process in which information is collected through pair, individual and whole group.
