  Introduction
  This lesson plan (Appendix 1) is designed for a Chinese speaking class that consists of 30 freshman students. It will be carried out in a 50?鄄mintue session.
  It is composed of 5 procedures with activities designed based on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach. It is task?鄄based and student?鄄centered. The aims of this lesson are to improve students’ communication skills, to reduce their anxiety while talking, to promote students’ interest and fluency in speaking within a context and in front an audience and to encourage cooperative learning, student?鄄student interaction and learner autonomy.
  Detailed rationale for the aims of the lesson and for each stage of the lesson
  The author he found that college freshman students in China are lack of interest and fluency in English speaking even though they he studied English for at least 6 years before they entered university. The reason for their lack of fluency in speaking is mainly because they almost always he learned English in “structure?鄄based methods” (Littlewood, p.118) and a PPP (‘presentation, practice, performance’) model (Foster, 1999, p. 69). Few communicative activities ever involved in their learning process. Thus it’s not surprising why their communicative ability is not satiactory. This lesson plan is designed to address such needs among Chinese freshman college students. It is to help promote their interest in communicating in English by creating a special context that is of their interest.
  In order to promote their communication abilities, the lesson planadopts the communicative approach because:
  The most important practical feature of the approach is its insistence on the active role of the learners in the classroom. The demands of communication mean that they must learn not only to respond but also to initiate. The demands of the learning process mean that they must become actively involved with the language(Littlewood, p. 120).
  To achieve the ends of improving students’ communication skills and their speaking fluency, the lesson plan adopts the task?鄄based and learner?鄄centered pedagogies. Such are important parameters for CLT because CLT entails “a large proportion of ‘learner?鄄centered’ and ‘task?鄄based’ activities in which the learners operate outside the direct control of the teacher (Legutke&Thomas, 1991; Nunan, 1988; as cited in Littlewood, p. 120).
