Days of Laughs: From Mall Adventures to Birthday Parties

In this English lesson, students strengthen their listening comprehension, grammar awareness, and collaborative skills through two engaging texts about fun activities and daily routines. Using the running dictation technique, learners listen to short narratives, note key information, and reconstruct the texts from memory. This activity focuses on past perfective and imperfective aspects in main clauses, helping students notice and apply correct verb forms to distinguish between completed and ongoing actions in the past. Through group or pair work, learners practice accuracy, recall, and teamwork while developing strategies for active listening and language retention. By comparing their reconstructed versions with the original texts, students enhance self-correction skills, expand vocabulary related to leisure and daily life, and build confidence in using English to describe past experiences and habitual activities.
