Lesson Rationale:
Method-
The PPP offers systematic approach towards learning new languages and will enable Chinese learners to use the
vocabulary in real life conversations confidently. I assume that the entire topic will present the complete information in
respect to house and home. The entire structure that is set for the study will allow the tutor to cover all areas related
to common house and home vocabulary.
Structure
There are a various aspects and factors that support the researcher to address all these aspects and factors in the best
way possible. Also, there are some of the students getting the chances to know more about the house and home
associated with the project. All the example provided over the topic will allow and favour the student to understand
the topic in more favourable manner. Pictures will allow the students to establish the meaning of all the terminology
included in the topic so that they get top understand the topic even more (Gram-Hanssen and Darby, 2018). There
were different types house and home terminologies that are required to understand by the students and this entire
project cover all such aspects. Along with this the target topic areas would certainly empower and favour to the
students to develop the better understanding about the research topic and area so that they get to learn the whole
topic in more effective manner.

Further, I have presented the activity in which the students are required to describe imaginary house. This creative
activity will increase active participation of students and enable them to use learned vocabulary in their personal
imaginary scenarios. The usage of creative activities increases ability to students to apply vocabulary in real life
instances (Cieraad, 2021). The presentation meaning activity will help the learners retain existing knowledge by
connecting the new terminology with their native language so that they are able to remember this association for
longer time period and easily translate common house and home nouns.
At the controlled stage this worksheet helps to the student to target the topic in more detailed manner. Entire
topic is structured at this level so that complete information and extensive knowledge about the topic can be
presented in more effective manner. Some of the students could face challenges over language as they could focus
more on the local words that are used instead of the professional terminology that is used to present the study area. In
the presentation stage there are complex description that has used. This will help students gain clear knowledge about
definition of the vocabulary. Complex definitions can also confuse students during practical application such as reading
and writing (McDonald, 2020).
Many times understanding the term itself is a challenge. The lack of proper information also creates an issue for the
student which favour the various challenges to the students to grab the complete and clear background of the topic.
There will be a specific section in the report disclosing about all the key finding about the topic area. This will help
students understand the basic vocabulary used in context of house and home. This will play a significant role for the
students to cover the entire topic in more efficient manner.
I would take a proper advice and guidance from the professionals associated with house and home industry in
process to understand all complex terms. The guidance from professionals and experts will make me understand the
study area in more efficient manner. In order to make presentation better proper training will grant over ways to make
the effective presentation (Iosif-Sirbu, 2019). Research on the phonology of English will support students in improving
their pronunciation while also learning vocabulary so that they gain more confidence in practical usage of vocabulary.
Conducting an appropriate research is a very effective and efficient practice that will empower to the student to deliver
the best and professional study findings. Proper backup plan will also prepare in case any of the planning do not
execute well. Backup option will support the student to take a proper guidance in the situation nay of the plan do not
work well. Backup option will play a suitable role for the student to grab the clear and proper information and
knowledge.
