"How was your weekend? Did you talk to your friends?" to create a relaxed classroom
atmosphere.
Show some pictures or video clips of people communicating in different ways, such as
face - to - face conversations, making phone calls, sending messages, etc. Guide the
students to observe and ask questions like "What can you see in these
pictures/videos? How do people communicate with each other? Which way do you
like best?" Encourage the students to express their observations in simple English to
lead in the theme of this lesson - communication methods.
Step 2 Vocabulary Learning (8 minutes)

"video call", "sign language", "make a phone call", "send emails", "talk face to face",
etc. Lead the students to read the words and correct their pronunciations. Help the
students understand the meanings of the words by showing relevant pictures,
animations, or short video clips. For example, play a video of people communicating
with sign language to explain "sign language", and show a picture of making a phone
call to explain "make a phone call".
Distribute word cards. Let the students work in pairs. One student shows the card, and
the other reads the word and says its meaning. Then they switch roles. The teacher
