OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES

This ESL lesson plan focuses on the alphabet, exchanging contact information, and spelling email addresses for adults. The lesson comes with engaging activities, PDF worksheets, and digital materials designed for A1 students. In this lesson, students will:

• Talk about personal information like names, emails, and phone numbers in simple exchanges.
• Learn the alphabet and vocabulary related to contact information such as names, emails, and numbers.
• Understand how to spell names and email addresses using the alphabet.
• Practice spelling emails and names through guided listening and speaking tasks.
• Use spelling skills in a partner activity to share and record real contact details.

WARM-UP ACTIVITY

Students begin by answering simple personal questions such as their name, where they are from, and basic personal details to build confidence with familiar topics. This creates a natural lead-in to sharing contact information.

Next, they match different types of contact information (first name, last name, email, phone number) with examples. This helps them recognize key terms and understand how this information is organized in real life.

The final part of this stage focuses on ordering a short conversation about contact details. Students work through a dialogue that includes asking for and spelling emails and phone numbers, which prepares them for spelling emails and names in realistic situations.

TARGET LANGUAGE STUDY

The lesson then introduces the alphabet, with students repeating each letter and its pronunciation after the teacher. This builds a clear foundation for spelling emails and names accurately.

After that, students practice useful sentences such as “My name is spelled…” and “My email is spelled…,” which gives them a simple structure to follow when speaking.

A listening activity follows where students identify names and email addresses based on spelling. This reinforces their ability to recognize letters and common email elements like “@” and “dot” in context.

PRODUCTION PRACTICE

Students begin this stage by listening to short audio clips and completing sentences with spelled names and email addresses. This helps them connect sounds to written forms.

They then listen to a conversation and fill in missing contact information, which strengthens comprehension and accuracy when dealing with real-life exchanges.

In the next task, each student takes on a role and completes partial contact details by spelling names and emails. This encourages active use of the target language.

Finally, pairs ask each other for contact information and write it down. This step brings together all skills as students practice spelling emails and names in a communicative, interactive way.

SHARE CONTACT INFORMATION

Students first write their own contact details, including their name, phone number, and email address, using the correct spelling format.

Working with a partner, they exchange this information by asking and answering questions. One student shares while the other listens and writes, which mirrors real-life communication.

An alternative discussion task allows students to ask guided questions about names, phone numbers, and email addresses, with a focus on spelling accuracy. This gives them more speaking time and flexibility while still practicing spelling emails and names.
