III. Teaching Methods
Explanation method, practice method, task - based teaching method.
IV. Teaching Procedures
(I) Lead - in (5 minutes)
The teacher shows pictures of various foods (an apple, two apples, a glass of water, some rice, etc.) and asks students: "Can we count these things? How do we talk about their quantity in English?" This activity leads to the topic of countable and uncountable nouns.
(II) Presentation (15 minutes)
Countable Nouns
The teacher explains that a countable noun refers to something we can count. Shows examples of singular and plural countable nouns (an apple, two apples; a carrot, six carrots; a cake, ten cakes).
Explains the use of "a" or "an" before a singular countable noun (using "an" if the noun starts with a vowel sound).
Teaches the formation of plural countable nouns, including regular forms (adding -s) and irregular forms (nouns ending in consonant + y → -ies; nouns ending in s, sh, ch, or x → -es; nouns ending in o → -s or -es; nouns ending in f or fe → -ves; other irregular nouns like man → men, etc.).
Uncountable Nouns
The teacher explains that an uncountable noun refers to something we cannot count. Shows examples of uncountable nouns (cheese, water, soup, salt, rice, tea, meat, milk, juice) and ways to express their amount (a piece of cheese, a glass of water, a bowl of soup, a packet of salt, two bags of rice, three cups of tea, four kilos of meat, five cartons of milk, six bottles of juice).
(III) Practice (20 minutes)
Activity A
Students complete Millie and Simon's conversation about food for a class party with the help of the pictures, using countable and uncountable nouns.
Students work individually first, then check answers in pairs. The correct answers (based on typical food items and countable/uncountable nature):
(1) tomatoes (countable, plural)
(2) eggs (countable, plural)
(3) bananas (countable, plural)
(4) bread (uncountable)
(5) croissants (countable, plural)
(6) sweets (countable, plural)
(7) chocolate (uncountable or countable, here likely uncountable)
(8) bottles of water (countable, plural for "bottles", "water" uncountable)
(9) tins of cola (countable, plural for "tins", "cola" uncountable)
Activity B
Students talk with their partners about what food they need for a class party, using countable and uncountable nouns.
Students practice in pairs, and some pairs are invited to share their conversations with the whole class.
(IV) Summary and Homework (5 minutes)
Summary: The teacher summarizes the key points about countable and uncountable nouns, including the use of "a/an", plural formation of countable nouns, and expressions for the amount of uncountable nouns.
Homework:
Students write five sentences using countable nouns (singular and plural) and five sentences using uncountable nouns with appropriate amount expressions.
Students make a list of ten countable nouns and ten uncountable nouns from their daily life.
V. Teaching Reflection
In this grammar lesson, students have a basic understanding of countable and uncountable nouns. Most students can complete the exercises correctly. However, some students still have difficulties in forming plural forms of irregular countable nouns and choosing appropriate phrases for uncountable nouns. More practice is needed in future lessons to consolidate their knowledge.
