• Listen to the talk about Reality TV shows;

• Do comprehension tasks on listening;

• Write an advert for a reality TV show;

· Later, learners are given cut cards with the type of the TV programme and their definitions (less able learners are given cards with translations), they need to match them and discuss in pairs\groups how they guessed. They try to describe each type of the programs in their own words.

Pair discussion: TV programs (P, G)

Learners discuss the questions on the active board; teacher may assist less able learners. The main task here is to focus learners’ attention on reality TV shows.

• Attractive design and pictures;

• Grammar and spelling accuracy (no more than 3-4 mistakes);

Feedback: Teacher asks learners what task was difficult to them and which pair worked well.
