Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Comprehension of English texts: The main objective of this class is to ensure that students are able to read and understand English texts, regardless of the type or topic. Students should be able to identify the main ideas, arguments, and points of view presented in the text.

2. Developing text interpretation skills: In addition to simply understanding what is written, students should be able to interpret the text, that is, draw conclusions from the information provided, derive implicit meanings, and recognize the use of figurative language.

3. Practicing decision-making based on text interpretation: Once students have interpreted the text, they should be able to use it to make informed decisions. For example, they could be asked to choose the best answer based on a text passage.

Secondary objectives:

1. Improving English vocabulary: By reading and interpreting English texts, students will naturally come across new words and expressions. They should be encouraged to look up the meaning of unknown words and use them in different contexts.

2. Increasing confidence in reading in English: By consistently working on understanding and interpreting texts, students should gain confidence in their English reading skills. This can encourage independent reading outside the classroom.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of previous content: Before diving into the topic of English text interpretation, the teacher should briefly review previous content that is relevant to this lesson. This could include a review of common vocabulary, grammar structures, and reading techniques. The teacher can do this through an interactive activity, such as a quick quiz or a word matching game.

2. Problem situations: To arouse students' interest in the topic of the lesson, the teacher can present two problem situations related to text interpretation. For example, the teacher can present a text with several ambiguities and ask students to interpret it. The teacher can then show how different interpretations can lead to different conclusions about the meaning of the text. Alternatively, the teacher can present a text with contradictory information and ask students to resolve the conflict based on their interpretation of the text.

3. Contextualization: The teacher should then explain the importance of the topic of the lesson, highlighting its applications in real life. The teacher can mention how text interpretation is an essential skill in many fields, including academia, professional life, and everyday life. For example, the teacher can describe how correctly interpreting a contract can avoid legal problems, or how interpreting a poem can enrich our appreciation of literature.

4. Introduction to the topic: Finally, the teacher should introduce the topic of the lesson in an interesting and engaging way. The teacher can do this by telling a curious story related to text interpretation, such as a story of a misunderstanding caused by misinterpreting a text. Or the teacher can present a curiosity about the English language, like the fact that many English words have multiple meanings, which can make text interpretation challenging.

5. Lesson objectives: The teacher should end the introduction by reiterating the lesson objectives and encouraging students to engage in learning. The teacher can do this by reminding students that text interpretation is a valuable skill that can improve their grades, their communication skills, and their understanding of the world.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. 'Mystery Text' Activity (10 - 12 minutes): This activity involves interpreting an enigmatic text. The teacher will divide the students into groups of four or five and give each group a 'Mystery Text'. This text will be intentionally vague, with subtle clues scattered throughout. Students will be challenged to interpret the text, identify the clues, and uncover the 'secret' of the text. The teacher should ensure that the texts are from different types (e.g., a poem, an excerpt from a novel, a newspaper article) to expose students to a variety of English texts.

   • Step 1: The teacher will hand out a copy of the 'Mystery Text' to each group and give them a limited time to read and discuss the text.

   • Step 2: Students will work together to interpret the text, identify the clues, and form a theory about the 'secret' of the text.

   • Step 3: Each group will present their interpretation of the text and their theory about the 'secret'. The teacher will facilitate a class discussion about the different interpretations and theories.

2. 'Image Interpretation' Activity (10 - 12 minutes): This activity is designed to reinforce the idea that interpretation is not only applicable to written texts, but also to images. The teacher will show students a series of images and ask them to interpret what is happening in the image and what it represents. Then, the students must create a story or a descriptive text in English based on their interpretation of the image.

   • Step 1: The teacher will show students a series of images, one at a time. For each image, the students will write down their interpretations and ideas.

   • Step 2: After reviewing all the images, the students, still in their groups, will choose one image and create a story or a descriptive text in English based on their interpretation of the image.

   • Step 3: Each group will read their story or text to the class. The teacher will facilitate a discussion about the different interpretations and stories.

In both activities, the teacher should circulate around the room, offering guidance and support as needed. The teacher should also ensure that all students are engaged and contributing to the group discussion. Additionally, the teacher should take opportunities to highlight useful vocabulary, grammar structures, and text interpretation techniques.

Feedback (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (6 - 7 minutes): After completing the activities, the teacher will bring the class together for a group discussion. Each group will have a maximum of 3 minutes to share their solutions or conclusions from the 'Mystery Text' and 'Image Interpretation' activities. During the group presentations, the teacher should encourage other students to listen attentively and ask questions, if any.

   • Step 1: The teacher calls on each group to briefly present their conclusions and the justifications for them.

   • Step 2: After each presentation, the teacher opens the floor for questions and comments from the other groups, encouraging participation from everyone.

   • Step 3: At the end of all the presentations, the teacher summarizes the main ideas and strategies presented by the groups.

2. Connection to Theory (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should then make the connection between the activities conducted and the theory of English text interpretation. The teacher should highlight the main theoretical concepts that were applied during the activities, such as close reading, identifying textual clues, inferring meaning, and making conclusions based on the interpretation of the text.

   • Step 1: The teacher reviews the theory of English text interpretation, highlighting the key concepts and techniques.

   • Step 2: The teacher connects the theory to the activities conducted, explaining how students applied the theory in a practical context.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 2 minutes): Finally, the teacher will ask the students to take a moment to reflect on what they have learned during the lesson. The teacher can provide some guiding questions to facilitate students' reflection, such as "What was the most important concept you learned today?" and "What questions do you still have after this lesson?" The teacher should emphasize the importance of this reflection for consolidating learning and identifying areas that need further review or clarification.

   • Step 1: The teacher provides the reflection questions and gives students a moment to think about their answers.

   • Step 2: The teacher encourages students to share their reflections, if they wish, and addresses any questions they may have.

At the end of the lesson, the teacher should reiterate the lesson objectives and congratulate the students for their engagement and effort. The teacher should also remind students of the importance of continuing to practice English text interpretation outside the classroom, whether by reading books, newspapers, or magazines in English, watching movies and TV shows in English, or simply conversing with other English speakers.

Conclusion (5 - 6 minutes)

1. Review of Main Points (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should begin the conclusion by reviewing the main points discussed during the lesson. This could include a review of the main text interpretation techniques, the different text types explored, and the decision-making skills practiced. The teacher can do this via a brief discussion or an interactive quiz.

   • Step 1: The teacher lists the main concepts and skills covered in the lesson, inviting students to reflect on how these concepts were applied in the practical activities.

   • Step 2: The teacher can ask students questions to check their understanding of the concepts and techniques presented.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher should then emphasize how the lesson connected theory to practice of text interpretation. The teacher can do this by reminding students of the activities conducted and explaining how they applied the theoretical concepts of text interpretation.

   • Step 1: The teacher recalls the activities conducted and explains how they allowed students to apply the theory of text interpretation in practice.

   • Step 2: The teacher reinforces the importance of regular practice in text interpretation to develop and improve this skill.

3. Extra Materials (1 minute): The teacher can suggest additional materials to supplement the students' understanding of the lesson topic. These could include books, websites, videos, apps, and other resources that provide further information about English text interpretation or allow students to practice this skill.

   • Step 1: The teacher introduces the additional materials, briefly explaining what each offers and how it can be useful for students.

   • Step 2: The teacher encourages students to explore these materials at their own pace and use them as tools to enhance their text interpretation skills.

4. Importance of Text Interpretation (1 minute): Finally, the teacher should reiterate the importance of English text interpretation in everyday life. The teacher can do this by providing examples of situations where this skill would be useful, such as when reading news articles, understanding contracts, or appreciating works of literature.

   • Step 1: The teacher reinforces the importance of text interpretation by giving examples of situations where this skill is useful.

   • Step 2: The teacher ends the lesson by encouraging students to keep practicing text interpretation, both in English and their native language, and to apply this skill in different contexts in their lives.

The conclusion should consolidate students' learning, reinforce the relevance of the lesson topic, and motivate them to continue learning about and practicing text interpretation.
