🧾 Task-Based Lesson Plan

Topic: Ordering Food at a Restaurant
Target Students: A2 Level (Middle School)
Class Duration: 50 minutes
Group Size: 12–20 students
🎯 Lesson Objective

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to order food and drinks at a restaurant using complete and appropriate English expressions in a role-play scenario.
🔄 Lesson Stages
1. 🧠 Warm-Up (5–7 minutes)

    Goal: Activate prior knowledge and introduce context

    Activities:

        Ask: “Have you ever ordered food in English? What did you say?”

        Show real restaurant menu images or play a short video of a customer ordering.

2. 🧭 Pre-Task (10 minutes)

    Goal: Prepare students with useful expressions and vocabulary

    Activities:

        Vocabulary brainstorming: dishes, drinks, prices

        Teach key expressions:

            "I'd like a..."

            "Can I have...?"

            "What do you recommend?"

            "The bill, please."

        Model short dialogues on the board

3. 🤝 Task (20 minutes)

    Goal: Students complete the communicative task

    Activity: Restaurant Role-play

        In pairs or small groups: one student is the waiter, the other is the customer

        Use printed menus

        Encourage use of target expressions (minimal teacher interruption)

        Rotate roles halfway through

4. 🧩 Post-Task (8 minutes)

    Goal: Reflect on task and correct form

    Activities:

        Students share: “What did your partner order?”

        Teacher provides gentle correction of common errors

        Highlight effective use of expressions

5. 📋 Evaluation and Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

    Goal: Reinforce learning and assess outcomes

    Activities:

        Ask students to write down 2 expressions they used and 1 new phrase they learned

        Quick oral quiz or exit slip:

            “How do you ask for a recommendation?”

            “How do you ask for the bill?”

✅ Assessment Criteria

    Completion of task (did they place an order?)

    Appropriateness of expressions (correct language used?)

    Interaction quality (did they communicate fluently?)
