Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

This can be done through a quick oral review or through a memory game, where students need to match English words with their respective translations or definitions.

2. Problem-Solving Scenarios: The teacher then presents two problem-solving scenarios to pique students' interest and contextualize the lesson's subject. The first scenario could be: 'Imagine you are an exchange student applying for an internship at a foreign company. You receive an invitation for a video interview in English. What words and phrases would you need to know to prepare and participate in this interview?' The second scenario could be: 'A friend of yours is preparing for a job interview at a multinational company and asks for your help to review his resume and practice some questions he may be asked during the interview. What words and phrases would you use in this training?'

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory Presentation (7 - 10 minutes)

   • The teacher introduces the main aspects of the interview in English, such as the initial greeting, personal introduction, discussion of skills and experiences, and the interview conclusion. Explains that, although these aspects may vary depending on the type of job and company, they are generally present in all interviews and, therefore, it is important to be prepared for them.

   • The teacher presents and explains the idiomatic expressions and common phrases used in each aspect of the interview. For example, in the initial greeting, students can learn the expression 'It's a pleasure to meet you.' In the discussion of skills and experiences, students can learn the phrase 'I have experience in...'.

   • The teacher emphasizes the importance of varying vocabulary to avoid repetition and using complete and grammatically correct sentences to convey a professional and confident image.

2. Practical Activity (10 - 15 minutes)

   • The teacher divides the class into groups of 4 to 5 students and assigns each group an English job interview scenario. Scenarios may include situations such as an interview for an internship at a technology company, an interview for a customer service position at a hotel, or an interview for an English teacher position at a language school.

   • Each group should then study the scenario and create a script for the interview, including the questions the interviewer may ask and the answers the candidate should give. The script should include the use of idiomatic expressions and common phrases learned in the theory.

   • After creating the script, each group should perform the interview for the class. Other students should pay attention to the use of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions and provide feedback at the end of each performance.

3. Discussion and Feedback (3 - 5 minutes)

   • After all groups have presented their interviews, the teacher leads a classroom discussion on the strategies students used to prepare their answers, the effectiveness of the vocabulary and idiomatic expressions used, and the difficulties students faced during the activity.

   • The teacher provides feedback to students, praising the proper use of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions and offering improvement suggestions where necessary. The teacher also answers any questions students may have and clarifies any confusion that may have arisen during the activity.

With the Development of the lesson, students will have had the opportunity to actively practice the vocabulary and idiomatic expressions relevant to a job interview in English, and will have received immediate feedback and guidance from the teacher. Additionally, the role-playing activity allowed students to experience real interview situations in a safe and controlled manner, which can help alleviate anxiety and increase their confidence in their English interview skills.

The teacher can ask questions to encourage reflection, such as: 'What were the words or phrases you used the most during the interview? Why do you think these words or phrases were so useful? What words or phrases would you have liked to use but couldn't because you didn't know how to say them in English?'

   • Students have a minute to think about their answers, and then are invited to share their reflections with the class. The teacher should encourage all students to participate, creating a welcoming and encouraging environment where all ideas and opinions are valued.

With the Return stage, the teacher provides students with the opportunity to reflect on what they have learned, to connect theory with practice, and to express any doubts or concerns they may have.
