TP2

If the lesson you are observing includes receptive skills, check if the teacher follows the receptive skills procedure as discussed in the session:

 

  Teacher 1: Teacher 2:
Generating interest    
Pre-reading/ listening      
Clear initial task-before-text    
Pair-checking      
Feedback      
Clear second task-before-text    
Pair-checking      
Feedback: how do the students demonstrate understanding of the text?      
Response-to-the-text      

If the lesson you are watching involves language as the main focus, check if the teacher covers all of the following and in the appropriate order (as given here):

  Teacher 1: Teacher 2:
Set context    
Convey meaning clearly from context      
Elicit the language    
Check meaning (e.g., through CCQs)      
Drill with clear models, chorally and individually    
Board with part of speech, word stress and phonemic transcription (vocab) or with correct breakdown (grammar)      
Check appropriacy (if relevant)

TP4

Staging: If you are watching a language lesson, consider the lesson frameworks you have seen so far this week. Can you see elements of the following?

? Presentation-Practice-Production.

? Guided Discovery or Test Teach Test.

? Text-Based Language Presentations.

  Teacher 1: Teacher 2: Teacher 3:
Which approach did you identify?        
How closely did the lesson follow the approach?        
How successful was the approach in the lesson?        

 

If the lesson you are watching involves productive skills, take notes on the following:

  Teacher 1: Teacher 2:
Set context      
Language focus    
Managing materials and board work      
Tasks (setting-up, task design, communicative focus)    
Monitoring students doing skills development tasks      
Feedback (on content and language)

TP 5

Look at your tutorial areas to work on and make a note of the key points (and other personal aims you have) in the left-hand column below. Then comment on how each of the teachers deals with these areas as far as you can see.

My Tutorial areas to work on Teacher 1: Teacher 2: Teacher 3:
         
         
         
         
         
         

Ask to see the teachers? personal aims which should hopefully reflect their third tutorial areas to work on. Watch them and see to what extent they improve.

Teacher 1: Personal aims Progress

TP6

If you are watching language lessons, answer the questions below. If not, return to the second task for TP4.

  Teacher 1: Teacher 2: Teacher 3:
Was there sufficient controlled practice provided?      
Did the teacher monitor the controlled practice and offer on-the-spot correction ? if so, how?        
Was feedback after the controlled practice appropriate and did it check students? understanding?      
Was the practice activities appropriately ordered?        
How free/personalised/ communicative was the ?freer? practice?        
Did feedback on the ?freer? practice include a focus on content (what the students said)?        
Was there language feedback after the ?freer? practice and how effective was it?

What would you recommend the teacher continue to work on post-course?      

 

?Stolen goods?:

  Teacher 1: Teacher 2: Teacher 3:
List three ideas from each lesson which you would like to use in your own teaching and why you think they are useful.
