Abstract

The publication is a detailed lesson plan on the topic «Clothes and Fashion. Dress code» within the course of the English language currently taught in a distance learning environment. The lesson focuses on developing reading skills such as scanning and reading for details in the second-year students majoring in Secondary Education (CEFR level B1). The lesson is also aimed at developing students’ speaking and writing skills as well as enhancing vocabulary. It has been demonstrated how traditional peer interaction can be brought into the digital space via Zoom breakout rooms, enabling an essential increase in student talk time in the English classroom. The importance of giving clear task instructions followed by ICQs during the online class has been highlighted. The techniques for providing feedback during accuracy work and fluency work have been differentiated and applied.
