Teaching Procedures	Tips
Step 1 Free Talk
The T can introduce the topic of this unit and make Ss discuss the following two questions: Do you like English? How do you study English? The T can choose several students to share their answers and then the T can make positive comments and give encouragement.
Step 2 Lead in
The T can show the pictures in the PPT and elicit the studying method in the picture from Ss. Present the target language beside each picture. The T can make Ss    read the sentences in chorus. The T may focus Ss’ attention to the function structure by+ v.-ing . I study English ____               by working with friends. by making word cards. by asking the teacher for help. by reading the textbook. by working with a group. by listening to tapes. by going to the English Corner. The T can ask Ss the question: Do you study English in the following ways?  The T can also personalize the question by asking “Do you have any other ways to learn English?” so that most Ss can be involved in the activity. Encourage Ss to use the target language.       ---How do you learn English?       ---I learn English by doing ...
Step 3 Presentation & Practice	The T can use this opportunity to encourage Ss to approach him/her if they need any help.
1a  The T can make Ss talk about the picture in 1a. The T may use these prompts: Who do you think these three people are? What do you think they are thinking about? What do you think the two boys will say? 1a  Make the Ss do the exercises in 1a and then the T can present the possible answers: Answer: doing grammar exercises reading aloud watching English movies and other programs using the Internet reading English books writing letters / e-mails in English to a pen pal keeping a diary in English ... 1b  Listening  Play the recording and make the Ss do the exercises in 1b and then the T can present the answers:   Answer: 1.b   2.e    3.d 1b  Listening  The T may play the recording a second time and uses these prompts to have a brief discussion: How did the teacher feel when peter approached her for help? (answer : She was happy.) How does Tony’s mother feel when she thinks about he is listening to music instead of studying?   (answer : She gets mad.)                                                                    1b  Listening  The T can play the video of the 1b and help Ss recognize the target language in natural speech. 1c  Practice   To give Ss guided practice using the structure by+v.-ing in speech, the T can encourage Ss to make conversation like this: A: How do you study for a test? B: I study by working with a group. A: How do you study for a test? B: I study by… 1c  Group work:  Mime and guess  To make it more interactive for Ss, the T can consider asking Ss to do this activity in groups of five to six. S1 can start by asking S2 “How do you study for a test?” S2 will mime his /her answer. The other Ss in the group can offer their guesses  as to what S2 is miming. If one of them guesses correctly, S2 will nod and then say aloud his answer, e.g. “I study by reading the textbook.” It will then be S2’s turn to ask S3 “How do you study for a test?”, and so on.

Step 5  Summary & Homework	The homework can vary with the specific conditions.
Summary  The T can encourage Ss to summarize the key points of this class to help Ss consolidate the knowledge. Homework:     Preview the conversation in 2d. Do the exercises in students’ book.
Teaching Reflection	This is the first period of the unit.So it is important to get the students to know what they will learn in this unit and their learning goals. At the beginning the teacher should teach the main structure “by+ doing",and get the students to practice it in listening and speaking. The teacher should encourage students to practice using the target structure more.
