New school year, new action points

Note to self:

  • for a class of young teens preparing the KEY exam - keep policing my graded teacher talk (in terms of both language and speed of delivery)

  • for the above class - experiment with modelling practice activities instead of giving 'longer' instructions

  • for a class of older teens preparing the FCE exam - still the same coursebook as last year, but introduce even greater opportunities of communicative practice

  • for the above class - adapt practice activities for groups of threes more frequently
     
  • for company courses - encourage learners to bring material to the lesson more frequently

  • for IELTS/CPE preparation (and other courses in general) - be selective of my feedback to avoid overwhelming learners with too much information
