Meeting New People

Section role: This presentation supports 'The Language of First Meetings' section. The teacher uses it to visually introduce and formalize the written forms of greetings and numbers, correct common errors observed during the speed dating activity, and clarify formal versus informal usage. Slides: (1) Title Slide: 'The Language of First Meetings' - bullets: Reinforce confidence in speaking, formalize written forms, correct common errors. (2) Greetings Introduction: 'Saying Hello' - bullets: 'Hi' (informal), 'Hello' (common), 'Good morning' (formal). (3) Asking Names: 'What's Your Name?' - bullet: Clear display of 'What is your name?'. (4) Stating Names: 'My Name Is...' - bullet: Clear display of 'I am...' and 'My name is...'. (5) Numbers 1-5 (Page 1): 'Counting from One to Five' - bullets: 'One' with the digit '1', 'Two' with the digit '2'. (6) Numbers 1-5 (Page 2): 'Counting from One to Five' - bullets: 'Three' with the digit '3', 'Four' with the digit '4', 'Five' with the digit '5'. (7) New Vocabulary: 'Words for Meetings' - bullets: 'Greet' (saludar), 'Introduce' (presentar), 'Amount' (cantidad) with simple icons. Concrete examples: 'Hi, I'm Sofia!', 'Good morning, my name is Mr. Rodriguez.', 'What is your name?'. Hooks back to the rest of the lesson: Builds directly on the interactive 'Speed Dating Escolar' challenge (Section 2) by formalizing the language used. It prepares students for the 'Identity Card Designer' activity (Section 4) where they will write this information. Closing slide: 'What is one new thing you learned about meeting someone?' - prompts a brief class discussion before the listening activity. This material is part of a English foreign-language class for students in Chile learning English. Regardless of the material's language, the key terms and examples being taught must be written in English, not in the students' native language.
