- Warm-up (5–7 minutes): Rapid oral drill reinforcing pronunciation targets from earlier lessons (stressed vowels, consonant clusters, soft vs. hard consonants). Use call-and-response to maximize oral production.
- Input presentation (10–12 minutes): Concise introduction of 10–15 new lexical items presented in contextual mini-dialogs and images. Display each item with transliteration and Cyrillic; include stress marks for learner accuracy.
- Form-focused explanation (8–10 minutes): Short, visual grammar mini-lecture on one structural point (e.g., present-tense conjugation patterns and nominative/accusative endings). Keep rules explicit, supported by pattern tables and 3–4 worked examples.
- Controlled practice (12–15 minutes): Written and oral drills: gap-fill sentences, matching exercises (lexeme ↔ image), and short transformation drills (change subject or object to practice agreement and case usage).
- Communicative activity (12–15 minutes): Role-play in pairs simulating a real-life scenario relevant to vocabulary (café, train station, family introduction). Provide scripted prompts that escalate to semi-free variations.
- Reflective consolidation (5 minutes): Quick formative check—two-minute exit task where students compose 2–3 sentences about themselves or answer two short comprehension questions.
- Homework/extension: Short writing task (5–6 sentences) and spaced-repetition flashcard list; optional audio-listening of the lesson dialog for pronunciation reinforcement.
