Students will be able to listen to the conversations and take notes about
the main idea and details in the materials.
Students will be able to listen to the teacher’s instructions in order to
follow them correctly, and they will also listen to their peers in pair
discussions for the purpose of practicing listening and speaking skills.
Students will be able to produce spoken language focusing on organizing
the information they hear from the listening material. The organization
should be: the problem and two possible solutions for the problem.
Students will be able to discuss their notes and their opinions on the
solutions in pair work in order to provide advice to an example TOEFL
Speaking Question 3.
The students will be able to share their opinions in pairs and also in small
groups using.
The students will be able to read the instructions and prompt on the Prezi
and textbook in order to follow them correctly.
The students will be able to take notes while listening, and write down
what they learned at the end of the class. .
Prior to this lesson, the students have learned how to respond to the
TOEFL Speaking Question 3. The procedure of Question 3 and
Question 5 is similar, thus preparing the students for the new material.
I will start my lesson by asking the students how they are doing, and
what they did last time for this course. Before I let them know what the
topic of the lesson, I will give them a real-life problem which I have
what does this mean?, and listen to a recording in which my friends
provides me some suggestions a recording of your friends?. The
students will be asked to choose which suggestion they prefer and say
the reasons. Providing suggestions for real-life problems is the
experience the students might have experience with and will peak their
interest. .
I would have students work in groups and take turns to share their
the only time the students will be engaged with the new material?
I walk around the classroom to check on each student and make sure
you know they understand? Is this the only way you will ensure
engagement throughout the entire lesson?
Application
What opportunities will you
provide students to practice
and apply their
knowledge/skill to meet the
objectives for this lesson? To
apply to other contexts?
Assessment
How will you assess their
learning of the objectives?
Closing
How will you help students
recap the learning and link it
back to the original purpose
of the lesson?
Technology
If applicable for your context
and your lesson, how will you
meaningfully integrate
technology into your lesson?
After finishing the prompt - what was the prompt?, I will ask students
to practice saying the response themselves. What are the responses? Is
this the only time the students will apply their knowledge in an activity
or exercise? I’m guessing not. You need to list all of the times the
students will be practicing throughout the lesson in detail.
For informal assessment, I will assess student learning by observing
them during pair work and group work. Observing does not mean
assessment - what will you be observing *for*? How will that show
you if they are meeting the objectives? I will look into their ability to
describe their own answers to the questions. Rephrase this past
sentence. How will you “look into their ability”? Be specific.
For formal assessment, I will ask Ss to do an exercise on their own.
Which exercise? I will come to each student and listen to their
responses and them give them the individualized suggestions for them
to improve their answers. For example...
I will sum up for what Ss learned and did . I will ask them to write
down what they learn today, and provide comments on my teaching.
Be specific here - what will you say to get the students to “provide
comments on your teaching”?
I will integrate technology into my lesson by using Prezi instead of
writing on the board. The use of Prezi will help Ss have a visual map of
what we will do and what are the objectives of the class.
