Einführungsteil und Vorbereitung des Unterrichts- / Projektplans

At the end of the previous lesson the teacher speaks about the upcoming topic: how we celebrate Christmas in Hungary, and asks the students to collect information in their families and surroundings. 

Before the class the teacher searches for suitable videos that contain the required vocabulary and present simple tense. 

The teacher shares the video links with the students and asks them to watch the videos before the class. She asks them to identify the English words and expressions still unknown and look for their translations in an online English dictionary.
