Lesson Main Aims:
Eliciting and familiarizing the use of comparatives (not as … as, as … as, much … than, far … than, etc.) in written form and real-world conversation through controlled and freer
practice

Lesson Subsidiary Aims (If any):

Assumed Knowledge:
- Basic comparatives (… is/isn’t bigger than …, … is worse/better than …)
- Basic superlatives (… is the most …, … is the least …, … is the worst/best …)

Anticipated Problems: (MFPA/Skills/Tasks) Solutions:

M: Students might not be wholly familiar with the superlative least M: Elicit meaning from students
e.g. Rifa spent the weekend watching films. Danya spent the weekend swimming
Gilang spent the weekend going on a hike. That means that Gilang’s weekend was the
most exhausting, while Rifa’s was ……
F: (i) Incorrect usage of superlatives and comparatives F: Write sentences with error on board. Elicit both the error and correction out of
- My house is the biggest than the others. (sentence with error) students. Point out that the word than is always used after a comparative.
- My house is bigger than the others. (possible corrected sentence)
- My house is the biggest. (possible corrected sentence)
(ii) Difficulty in deciding when to use than and from due to the Indonesian
language having extremely similar words for the two (daripada vs dari)
- It was different than anything else we’ve seen. (sentence with error)
- It was different from anything else we’ve seen. (corrected sentence)
P: Indonesian students tend to put stress on the word than; students might P: Ask students where the stress is (there isn’t one!). Model the word a few times and
say /dæn/ or /dɛn/ instead of /ðən/ drill students chorally and individually. Possibly write phonetics to further point out the
differences between the false and correct pronunciations.

TPQs: (2 or 3)/Personal Aims

- Did I vary my volume throughout my TP?
- Did I give clear, concise instructions?
- Did I intervene students’ pair discussion(s) at the right time(s) when monitoring? Was I ever (too) intrusive?
- Did I present a piece of language that is on-level with the students (not too hard, not too easy)?
