👉 Nếu bạn cần mình viết thêm phần script chuẩn bị cho phỏng vấn demo lesson, mình có thể
dựng sẵn phần “phân tích lý do chọn hoạt động, dự phòng tình huống, điều chỉnh cho học sinh
yếu” nữa nhé!
Bạn có muốn mình hỗ trợ làm luôn bản slide đi kèm không?

Bạn đã nói:
ảnh này thì nên nói gì để lead-in vào dạy vocab?
ChatGPT đã nói:
Rất tốt! Ảnh bạn đưa lên gồm nhiều món ăn quen thuộc và hấp dẫn – hoàn hảo để dùng trong
phần Lead-in cho dạy Vocabulary chủ đề Talking about Food.
Dưới đây là đoạn kịch bản chi tiết chuẩn TESOL để lead-in vào dạy từ vựng (tender, curry,
juicy), sử dụng chính hình ảnh bạn gửi:
🍽 Lead-in to Vocabulary (3–4 mins)
Goal: Activate prior knowledge – Connect to learners’ real-life experience – Set the stage for
new words
👩🏫 T (shows image on slide):
“Look at this picture, class! Wow – so many delicious dishes, right?”
🔄 T asks open questions (scaffolding):
• “What foods can you see in this picture?”
→ 🧠 [steak, lamb chops, banh xeo, bibimbap/mixed rice, pizza, banh mi]
• “Which ones have you tried before?”
→ Encourage 2–3 answers
• “Which food do you like the most? Why?”
→ Elicit full sentences: “I like pizza because it’s cheesy and tasty!”
🔎 T (focuses students on describing food):
“Today, we’re going to talk more about how we describe food, especially when we talk about the
taste and texture.”
🧠 CCQs:
• “Do we say food is beautiful or delicious?” → ✅ Delicious
• “If you eat soft meat, is it tender or hard?” → ✅ Tender
• “If your burger has juice inside, is it dry or juicy?” → ✅ Juicy
✨ T: “Let’s learn some new words to help us talk about food in more exciting ways!”
👉 Transition to: Presentation of Vocabulary (tender – curry – juicy)
Bạn cũng có thể thêm phần mini-poll nếu có thời gian:
💬 “Raise your hand if you like pizza!”
💬 “Who thinks banh mi is juicy?”
→ Điều này tạo không khí vui nhộn, tăng tương tác và giúp kết nối cảm xúc với bài học.
📌 Mẹo mở rộng:
Nếu học sinh còn yếu, bạn có thể thêm phần matching food name ↔ image trước khi hỏi về mô
tả. Hoặc dùng sticky notes để HS dán tên món ăn lên hình.
Bạn có muốn mình tạo slide minh hoạ lead-in + vocab từ hình này không? Có thể làm theo mẫu
