1. Learning Objective
Students will be able to correctly identify and use countable and uncountable nouns in sentences, both when speaking and writing.

2. Introduction
Topic: Countable and Uncountable Nouns
Brief Description: In this activity, students will learn to correctly identify and use countable (that can be counted) and uncountable (that cannot be counted) nouns in English. They will focus on how to use them both when speaking and writing.

3. Instructions
Topic Introduction
Brief Explanation: Today we are going to work with countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns are those that we can count, such as "apple," "book," or "car." On the other hand, uncountable nouns are those that we cannot count individually, such as "water," "rice," or "information."
Examples:
Countables:
I have three apples.
There are five books on the table.
Uncountables:
I need some water.
Can I have some rice?

Speaking Exercise
Students will work in pairs to formulate oral sentences using countable and uncountable nouns.
Writing Exercise
After practicing orally, each student will write five sentences: three using countable nouns and two using uncountable nouns.

Using Luzia
Students will enter their written sentences into Luzia to receive automatic correction.
They will also be able to send an audio to Luzia of them saying their sentences. The tool will tell them which words they are pronouncing incorrectly and offer suggestions for improvement.

Sample request:
I want to practice simple sentences with basic vocabulary. For example, 'I have two apples' and 'I need some water'.

5. Practice
Oral Exercise:
In pairs, students must formulate sentences using countable and uncountable nouns. Each pair must create at least five sentences, alternating between countable and uncountable.
Example:
I have two books. (Countable)
I need some rice. (Uncountable)
Writing Exercise:
Each student will write five sentences: three using countable nouns and two using uncountable nouns.
Example:
There are four chairs in the room. (Countable)
Can I have some water? (Uncountable)

6. Feedback
Automated Feedback: Luzia will provide corrections on the written sentences.
Pronunciation Correction: By submitting an audio, Luzia will identify incorrectly pronounced words.

Peer Review: Students exchange writing and provide feedback to each other.

Activity 1: Role Play with Luzia

Objective: To practice speaking using countable and uncountable nouns in a real conversational context.

Instructions:

Preparation:

Divide students into groups of three or four.

Each group chooses a scenario from everyday life, such as going to the supermarket, a dinner at home, or a visit to a restaurant.

Role Play:

Students must create a short dialogue (3-5 minutes) that includes at least five countable and uncountable nouns. They must use complete and correct sentences.

Example scenario: At the supermarket, one student can be the customer and another the salesperson. The customer can ask: "How many apples do you have?" and "Can I have some bread?"

Using Luzia:

After practicing their dialogue, each group records their conversation in audio format and sends it to Luzia.

Luzia will provide feedback on pronunciation, indicating which words were pronounced incorrectly and suggesting improvements.

Presentation:

Each group presents their dialogue in front of the class, using Luzia to correct any pronunciation errors in real time.

Activity 2: Creating a Menu with AI

Goal: Integrate creative writing with the correct use of countable and uncountable nouns while using an AI correction tool.

Instructions:

Preparation:

Explain to students that they are going to create a menu for a fictional restaurant. The menu must include at least five dishes that contain both countable and uncountable nouns.

Menu Writing:

Students work in pairs to design their menu. They should include:

Starters (with countable nouns)

Main dishes (with countable and uncountable nouns)

Desserts (with countable nouns)

Drinks (with uncountable nouns)

Using Luzia:

Once they have finished their menu, students enter the text into Luzia to receive corrections on grammar and vocabulary.

Luzia will provide suggestions on how to improve writing and noun usage.

Menu Presentation:

Each pair presents their menu to the class, explaining the dishes and using complete sentences.

Other students are encouraged to ask questions about the menu, which gives them the opportunity to practice further conversation.
