Major steps
Step 1 Warming up (3 minutes)
I will begin the class by sharing my experience of a fantastic birthday party last week. Then I will give them 1 minute to think about the parties they have been to, and which one leaves them the most unforgetable impression. And they can share it with the whole class by telling the time, the theme, or the activities of that party.
(Justification: By talking about parties they have been to, they will recall back some related expressions under this topic. And this will prepare them for the following listening.)
Step 2 Pre-listening (5 minutes)
I will present some new expressions first, like promotion, throw a party, the more the merrier by making up a short paragraph.
People celebrate important occasions, like weddings, promotions or birthdays. Usually, they like to throw a party to get their families and friends together and have fun. For most parties, it is the more the merrier and that's why people would like to invite a lot of people to their parties.
(Justification: It is easier to teach the new expressions with the help of context. For example, if I tell students that "throw a party"means "have or hold a party", they will not only understand the explanation but also get to know how to use the expression by comparing the context provided.)
Step 3 While-listening (6 minutes)
First, I will play the tape once. And before they are ready, I will remind them that while listening they should not pay much attention to any specific words or expressions and all they need to do is to get the main idea of it. After listening, I will invite some students to tell the class what happened, and why it happened.
Next, I will ask them to listen to the dialogue for the second time with a filling task on the blackboard.
Frank' s Party

It is a big deal for Frank.

|
(Justification: Listening for the first time is to train students' listening ability for general ideas and the second time is to train their listening ability for detailed information.)
Step 4 Post-listening (6 minutes)
(1)Students need to work with their deskmates to practice the dialogue with the help of the chart on the blackboard.
(2)Then they will be divided into groups of 4 to design a party for their parents' wedding anniversaries. They need to figure out the theme, the time, the activities and the invitation letters of this party. Two groups will be invited to share their ideas.
(Justification: The first activity is for students to practice the targeted language point—how to invite people to a party and how to react to people's invitations. The second activity is to provide a chance for them to use the language actively.)
