Lesson 1: Introducing Yourself
In this lesson, students will learn how to introduce themselves and ask basic personal questions in English.

After practicing the sentences as a group, pair students up and have them take turns introducing themselves to each other using the sentences on the board. Circulate and monitor students' pronunciation and use of the target language.
Independent Practice:
Distribute a worksheet with personal questions for students to ask and answer in pairs. Encourage students to use the vocabulary and sentence structures introduced in the guided practice. Remind students to listen carefully to their partner's responses and ask follow-up questions. After a designated time, have students share interesting information they learned about their partners with the class.
