STRUCTURE AND TIMING

Face to face

The face to face program provides you an opportunity to sit in on University of Technological of south-east from Veracruz class to explore experiential learning in a small class setting. This trainee handbook can be development in different structures or way to teaching.

The training will include “train the trainer” programmes. This course also comes with a set of a manual where it describes and explain how to do the dossier in six different areas and it will explain the topic of the dossier as Language Awareness, Language and Culture, Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation, Self-Assessment and Development.

Members of the English academy will explain to the trainees what are the aims of the each lesson, it will give an example of the description of a class, it also will explain what are the correct procedure to do the dossier and the conclusion of the lesson. It is also important for trainees to know all attachments or resources that they could use for develop their classes.

All the material or resources to support are showed face to face by the English Academy will also be made available. The ultimate objective should be to create increased the best methodology and strategies for teaching, so that all trainees can utilise the information for improvement of their quality of teaching, and to create scope for teaching skills development.

All nine members of the English academy will be instructors who will teach in the face to face format. We should not forget all benefits of face to face training which are though face to face communication, additional information is available such as the deducting through body language, tone, volume and modulations of voice. Sometimes technology often does not facilitate the right type of information being shared or exchanged. This means that learning potential can be limited. However, the trainees are not entirely passive in this relationship or tutorial, as they give the instructor valuable information about how they are progressing, areas in which they are doing well and those that would benefit from further input. Face to face also delivery allows trainees to share their personal experiences, thoughts and challenges in relation to the content. This can be a rich source of learning and one that many trainees miss when undertaking distance education.

The timing for this program using face to face training will be twice a week, three hours per day, counting 60 hours in total



Blended course

The benefits of face to face courses are well documented elsewhere on this handbook. Onsite courses have the face to face contact which online courses lack, and online courses do not include any practice teaching, and for this reason are less recommended for absolute beginner teachers

There are many factors which may lead a trainee to go for online training, however, factors which include convenience, cost, access, location, learning styles and preferences.

Online courses do enable you to gain a useful insight into this handbook, and where there is a lower minimum requirement for the qualifications of teachers, these courses can serve as a 'passport' into teaching. Online courses give a foundation which is ideal for helping to orientate potential teachers who may be going off on a short term teaching mission, where teaching English is not being seen as a long-term career, nor to provide a sustainable source of income, where teaching might take place on a casual or volunteer basis.

This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total.

Online course

With our busy lives, conventional employee training can become a repetitive, time-consuming task for all involved. In-person classroom training requires that everyone involved get together at the same time/place, and the teacher must be paid for his/her time, even though the same material is presented again and again. Conventional training involves print materials, travel expenses, and many other cost-producing aspects.Flexibility: Online training works great with tight schedules. Since many people are living busy lives, these Web-based applications can be reached from home or any other Internet-accessible computer anytime! No more scheduled training sessions to work around. Trainees can train at their own pace, and work around their schedules, thereby minimizing loss of productivity.Relevance: All content-managed courses stay up-to-date, ensuring that the most accurate, relevant information reaches trainees.Affordable: Companies with a large volume of high-turnover positions where continuous training is necessary can save thousands with online training programs. They eliminate classroom related costs and materials' expenses. Now trainers can



develop the course content, present it once and go on to the next project. Trainers only need to revisit the course if the content needs to be modified.Retention: Since trainees are learning at their own pace, the learning retention rate is often higher than in a classroom setting. They can still have opportunities to email or call the teacher to ask questions, although many online courses now offer an updatable FAQ section where they can look first for answers to the most commonly asked questions, which reduces repetitive questions.Reporting: Most applications, like Osmosis, are customizable. The reporting tools are also customized to suit the company. During the analysis phase of the project, specialists determine what components are most important and develop easy ways to gather the exact data needed for grading.

This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total.

Weekend course

The way for this training will be only apply on weekends, it gives to teachers all the information that they need to know but on weekends so they will be able to develope their work and put in practices their experimental work in the week with their students.

Compact course

In this course, we use the summary of all the methodologies and strategies for teaching, it also focus in the meaning of the main concepts and includes a lot of examples about to how make the dossiers. Talking about compact course is spending the same hours for having this course but the insensitive for learning and practice increase, it means that teachers will have to spend more time practicing and doing research that reading or assist face to face to a course. It will be more practical than theoretical.



CONTENTS

This handbook helps the teachers in training to develop their own teaching dossier. It is really practical for trainees; it will help in order to design teacher’s teaching dossiers. This manual contents general information such as the aims of the training, the requirements of the trainee, the application form for trainees interested, the questioner and all the course rules.

It also specifies all strategies, structure and timing that we are using for this training. Some strategies are face to face, blended course, online course, weekend course, compact course.

This trainee handbook will develop the language awareness, language and culture, Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation and Self-Assessment and Development in all the trainees teachers in order to guide to meet, understand and design six dossiers for different areas, for any topic and level they choose to work on.

The six main areas of the training are:

1. Language awareness, where trainees will improve their pronunciation training, learning vocabulary, listening comprehension, understanding different accents, learning spoken and written languages. Trainees will be able to describe the language I am teaching and use the appropriate terminology, to understand the principles of language learning and teaching, to select the appropriate teaching points from teaching materials to suit different levels, to provide my students with clear and effective explanations in a way that is helpful to them, to select and apply the appropriate methodological tools to highlight differences in language systems, to use reference materials (i.e. grammar books) effectively to provide my students with clear answers with regards to language-related questions at the end of the course.

2. Language and culture, the purpose in this area is awareness of socio-cultural and intercultural aspects of language use and language learning, dealing sensitively with difficult classroom situations relating to intercultural differences, understanding different backgrounds (therefore different study methods) of students, cross-cultural communication and applicacion of this knowledge to the teaching situation. Trainees will be able to take into account and incorporate into my teaching the educational experiences my students have had previously, to provide for individual learner styles and strategies in my teaching, to design my lessons with my students' needs and interests in mind in order to make it interesting, lively and motivating, to give my students feedback on their language competence in a way that is appropriate and helpful (i.e. error correction) taking



into account the stage of language development they are at, to encourage and motivate my students to improve at the end of the course.

3. Language learning processes, in this area the trainees will be able to take into account and incorporate into my teaching the educational experiences my students have had previously, to provide for individual learner styles and strategies in my teaching, to design my lessons with my students' needs and interests in mind in order to make it interesting, lively and motivating, to give my students feedback on their language competence in a way that is appropriate and helpful (i.e. error correction) taking into account the stage of language development they are as well as the stage aim we are trying to achieve in a particular stage of a lesson, to encourage and motivate my students to improve, being aware of different types of motivation and capable to relate those to my students at the end of the course.

4. Language teaching, trainees will be able to define the aims of my lesson and understand how to achieve them by the end of the lesson as well as make my students aware of what my aims are, to be confident in selecting, adapting and designing materials to suits those aims, to use a variety of exercise types, to use various media forms appropriately (Moodle, whiteboard, Smartboard...), to evaluate learning tasks and activities, to incorporate learning tasks and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and take into account learners' learning styles and cultural expectations, to give clear instructions and make sure they are understood, to manage a class effectively in a wide variety of contexts taking into consideration the learners' needs and levels of language competence as well as mixed abilities and clarify the meaning of new vocabulary through the use of different means and I am able to check that the students have understood at the end of the course.

5. Planning and evaluation, in this area trainees will be able to state the general aims of a course with reference to the CEFR (European Framework), to define the aims of my lesson so that they fit within the context of the whole course, to plan lessons and teaching programmes and include appropriate tasks to suit the learning outcomes, to use various ways of conducting a course evaluation, to do a needs analysis and assess my students' language competence according to the CEFR, to inform my students on language examinations available to them and advice them on the appropriate options for them, to help my students to plan further learning to suit their needs and use a variety of inductive and deductive approaches to present a grammar structure and select an effective approach taking into account the grammar point in question and the group I'm teaching at the end of the course. At the last area but not the least

6. Self-assessment and development, in this area trainees wil be able to reflect and draw conclusions from observations and self-observation in order to gain a better understanding of the teaching situation and validate, bring changes to and improve my own teaching, to receive and make use of feedback on my teaching performance, to give constructive feedback to colleagues , to incorporate the systematic sharing of ideas with colleagues to promote best practice, to access the relevant support systems that will enable me to develop further and find solutions



to my teaching problems and to put forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional development at the end of the course.

Evaluation Procedure and Assessment criteria

The evaluation criteria for the trainee are going to be according to the way which evaluation is held in the institution. The evaluations’ university is divided in two parts, 70% practice and 30% theoretical knowledge. Based on this, the observation must be considered by following the practical part. It is important that the trainee provides practical activities, more than grammar explanation. Also, the institution is focused on communicative approach; for this reason, the interaction must be by speaking practices.

The evaluation criteria would be obtained by taking into account the next activities:Class preparation, class development, and class ending. The first part must contain the way which the trainee is getting ready for the class, including material, resources, and how there is an anticipation to possible problems.During the class development, it is considered the interaction between the trainee and the students. It is necessary to catch student’s attention by providing interesting



information for them. One of the most important points to consider in this part is clarifying doubts and questions properly, as well as providing clear explanations about grammar structures and communication patterns.Finally, the class ending must cover a feedback about the topic. It is important that during this section of the class, students clarify all the doubts. It is needed a general review of the session as well.

In order to achieve a satisfactory evaluation of 70% of practice, and 30% theoretical knowledge, the teacher has to achieve those three sections in every session. For that reason, the trainee has to comprehend and put into practice all those requirements. The evaluation will be divided in the next form:

Class preparation.- 30%Class development.- 45%Class ending.- 25%

TASK 4.3PREPARING FOR LESSON OBSERVATION

A live lesson observation will take part in your training exam. The lesson observation consists in the preparation, actual teaching, a written self-assessment by the trainee and a written evaluation of the teacher trainer of a language lesson. Please consider the following questions and send a file with your responses:

1. - How would you as a teacher trainer introduce the peer lesson observation?

When organizing a peer observation, it is essential to discuss the following at

least a week before the observed lesson is due to take place.

Which year group or class to observe

The time, date and duration of the observation

The observation focus

The aims and lesson structure and content

The role of the observer during the lesson, e.g. where they should sit,

their involvement (if any) in the lesson itself

The composition of the group, e.g. numbers, boys, girls, special

educational needs; band, set or mixed ability

The nature of any in-class support

The observation recording format to be used

Whether the observer can ask students questions and look at their

work

The information that will be required by the observer prior to the

observation, e.g. the lesson plan

When feedback will be given – time should be allowed for reflection but

the feedback should be given within a week of the observation taking

place Any concerns the colleague being observed may have.

2. - Which observation tasks could be interesting for your trainees? Write down some ideas.



How to introduce vocabulary, how to practice grammar and how to correct mistakes.

3. - How would you prepare your visit with the trainee? Which information do you need before the observation?

Focus on the areas agreed beforehand with your colleague.

Record information as accurately as possible.

Only record information relevant to what was agreed prior to the

observation.

Arrive on time.

Be positive and courteous.

Do not move around the room, look at books or talk with students

unless you previously agreed to do so. If colleagues and students are

not used to others in the classroom, this can cause a change in the

classroom dynamic.

5. - How long should the lesson observation last? At least 20 minutes.

6.-How would you write down your feedback? Create a feedback sheet which you could use for your future lesson observations. For feedback to be effective it must be given in an environment of trust; that is, we should all be committed to helping each other learn and improve as much possible. In the feedback we need to be honest, specific and remember to focus on positive.

7.- How would you manage the feedback-discussion? Write down the most important rules.

Acknowledge strengths – there are always some good things, but sometimes the

skill of the observer lies in identifying them develop confidence – in the early

stages of peer observation, that is what you are there for identify best or

developing practice be explicit and specific be evaluative rather than descriptive

reflect only on what was agreed before the observation encourage self-reflection

and self-evaluation – ask questions such as “What do you think?’ and ‘Why is it

like that?’, and help colleagues move beyond initial responses to consider

practice in greater detail only offer advice and alternative approaches if they are

asked for – but remember in the early stages they may be neither required nor

valued.



8. - What happens if the trainee fails? What advice would you give him/her?

We give another opportunity, and she/he needs to prepare better.

9. – What can the trainee do, if he does not accept the feedback of the trainer?

He needs to do an auto-evaluation that help what are the areas that he needs to do an effort.

10. - Is a second visit possible? With the same trainer?

Yes, it is possible, it depend on the situation that was generate the first visit with the staff.

6. Procedure

The topic of the new chapter (Unit 9 /p.87) was BODY TALK and in this lesson we looked describing student’s injuries and illness that the students suffered when they were small children.. A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of the Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and tips, which not only facilitate lesson planning, but have taught me many useful strategies to improve my teaching and help my students. During our UT’s term, we have been able to discuss and use many of these strategies and examples first hand, and the lessons learned from trainers´ and colleagues´ experience have made us appreciate and be aware of why I’m including certain exercises in the lesson and what benefits they can offer.

For the Icebreaker part Teacher had to nominate a student to read some phrases in the box. She or he has to point at the muscle that he is pointing ans at the same time she or she has to pronounced. So all the rest of the class can see that that is the way to pronounce this word.. The teacher has has to ask the students to do this activity in pairs, to recognize the parts of the body. T ask the Ss to work in pairs and discuss what rules they have to follow in the school building or in the classroom. It was very important to elicit students to answer and try to think in English Ideas. Then Teacher listened several ideas from the class.Teacher ask Students to say whatever they know about social rules. After that part, Teacher elicited suggestions like : You shouldn’t run in the corridor. You shouldn’t eat in the classroom. When the SS have said their injuries, the teacher must focuss on suggestions foer each one.

For the final part of Icebreaker moment Teacher gave a moment to read the instruccions carefully and Teacher made sure they understand confession(telling the truth about something they did that was wrong). If it is nesecary several SS must give their point on view too. So they can share pieces of adivice for the injuries they talked about.

After this activity Teacher asked Students to opened the book (p.52 , 53 ) and individually Students looked at the exercises. Before th e teacher revise the exercise, if it is necessary the students must check their information in pairs in order to share their knowledge of the topic. After that processes Teacher has to point out that if you sprain your ankle , knee, or wrist , you injure it by turning suddenly , but your do not break anything. He or she has to point out that injury is normally a bit more serious that hurt.

Ask the Students to read the instructions to the class; nominate a two students to read aloud the model conversation; elicit the tense the students will need to used ( the simple past tense) Poit out that the students can describe either an accident or injury that happened to them personally or to a friend or to a relative . Ask the students to answer the questions in pairs and at the same time encourage them to to ask follow-up questions and try to keep the conversation going. And listen to some ideas from the class.

38/146


Give the students some advice in using SHOULD and SHOULN¨T to give advice. Write the words avoiding injuries on the board . Ask the students to work in pairs and discuss what people should or shouldn´t do when they are playing some sports. Listen to some ideas from the class and elicit a list of shoulds and should ( e.g. Your shouldn´t swim after a meal; You should stretch your muscles before you exercise).Students Pointed out that when a car was driving the wrong way along one-way street is very dangerous because you canget injured.. Students nominated an S to read instructions and the grammar explanation to the class. After that teacher focused on the form of the structure.

After all the information written above , each checked the answers with the class. Teacher pointed out that not paying attention, or being careless is a dangerous when your are waking down the street or a place where cars did not normally stop. So it could be very dangerous an dyiou can be damaged. The Students had to do exercise individually and then they compared their answers in pairs, discussing any differences. After that activity students answered each question in plenary.

For definition words teacher asked Students worked with their partners from Ex.B. and teacher asked Students to work in pairs and say what the man should and shouldn’t have done using new verbs. Teacher asked Students to look at the Words in the language box. If you were supposed that you should ot shouln´t do, so they can gice some adive using the infinitive for giving advice.

In the part of focus grammar teacher asked students to complete the grammar table using the information from the text in EX A; the teacher nominate students to read a liud the correct sentences; poit out that we must use TO in this structure , eg. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SHOULDERS RELAXED. The teacher must help the students with the comparative form of the adjectives can also be used in this structures eg, IT´S BETTER TO SPEAK TO A PROFESSIONAL; IT´S MORE IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SHOULDER RELAXED. The teacher must elicit other ways fo giving advice with a similar meaning. E g. YOU SHOULD KEEP THE SOULDER RELAXED ; YOU´D BETTER SEE A DOCTOR; YOU OUGHT TO SPEAK TO A PROFESSIONAL.

You can continue like this: draw the students´attention to the language box. Give them a moment to read the information and elicit the target grammatical construction. The teacher can say that these are some of the other adjectives that can be used in this structure . Other examples include unusual, rare, possible, unnesessary, and other words that are important such vital, and crucial.

Make the students see the student´s book page for the audio script. Teacher asked Students to read the question and options carefully. Teacher Showed Students the grammar structure for S+Should have+past participle+C. And teacher asked students to complete the grammar table individually, by referring t the text in Ex. A teacher

39/146


nominated a Student to read the instruction and the grammar explain with a similar meaning to the class.

For Transfer part teacher drew Students´s attention to the Watch out! Box and emphazise that we cannot omit the words IT or the word TO in the infinitive when using this structure. Ask the students to do this exercise individually and then to compare their answers in pairs , disucssing any differencs. The teacher has to check the answers with the class. In this part teacher asked students do this exercise individually and then they compared their answers in pairs. Students checked the answer with the class. They read the instructions to the class.

Ask Ss to read the model sentence.

Ask Ss to work in pairs and tell their partner about the actions and their consequences. He asked Students to look at the examples in the Watch out! Box, teacher reminded them that they should not forget to use IT IS......TO......, e. Teacher gave Students a few minutes to think about some things that are importan to do.

For conclusion and evaluation part for the class teacher put the students into groups of three or four to discuss the questions. When the groups finished, teacher elicited some ideas from the class. Teacher listened to some ideas from the class and correct any errors in the use of should have/ shouldn´t have. Then teacher asked Students to work in pairs and told their partners about the things they didn’t do, using the phrases in the box. For final part a homework teacher asked Students to complete asked Students to complete WORKBOOK p- 52, section 1. And for the other topic teacher asked Students to do exercises from WORKBOOK page 53,section 3.

7.- Conclusions

This lesson contained many exercises for revising the modal SHOULD/SHOULDN’T and IT IS........TO....... for giving advises. With the examples we use pictures or images for auxiliary verb and short answers appealed to the students and it hopes to help them to understand the structure. As a teacher it gives the chance to personalize the subject and talk about something as rules and advises. This lesson motivates the Students to apply their ideas for expressing advises and at the same time help them to improve vocabulary for being creator of their own learning processes . As we are in a very modern world sttudents must creat their own knowledge of the language according to their likes.

8. Self Evaluation

In this part of this work, it is important to say that it was a very interesting way to introduce the topics for encourage the students to use grammar rules and structure as a communicative tool for communicating each other. However it has been created with

40/146


the best tools to improve their vocabulary. This plan was a good option for helping the students to create a good communicative approach.

This is the same group above mentioned. There are twenty students between the ages of 18 and 25 Most of the students do not like English language too much but they take it as a very important subject for their carreer. English is not their favorite subject but they need it as all the up-to-date material is in English.

f.Procedure

The teacher has to write the word REGRET on the board , and he will ask the students what regrets means in their mother language . Elicit that regrets is a feeling of sadness about something that has already happened . Tell the students that they are going to learn how to express regrets a bout the past in English. Point out that regret can be a noun or a verb, eg, I REALLY REGRET EATING THAT SECOND PIECE OF PIE ( verb), ONE OF MY BIGGEST REGRETS IS NOT EXERCISING MORE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER (noun).

For the correct development of this lesson, Teacher gave Students a moment to read the instruccions carefully after that teacher made sure they understood confession(telling the truth about something you regret that has happened in the past.).

For the developments of this part teacher nominated a Student to read instructions and the grammar explanation to the class. Teacher try to focus on the form of the structure. And teacher pointed out that the structure to expresss regrests is I WISH.

For the moment of personalization teacher checked the answers with the class. Teacher pointed out that all the people without exeption have regrets and wishes they did not make them come true. So that is the reazon of these lesson: to express wishes and regrest.

Teacher asked students to do exercise individually and then compare their answers in pairs, discussing any differences and students answered each question in plenary.As the next step, defining words teacher asked Students to work with their partners from Ex.B.

The teacher elicit what an autobiography is (the story of someone´s life written by that person; a biography is the story of someone´s life written by someone else.). Ask the students to read the questions carefully ; have the students to complate the task indivdually and then compare to the classmates in pairs , discussin g any difference. Check the answer with the class . Encourage the sttudents to explaian the answer (eg because she smoked, she had a poor immmune system ; she didn´t eat well; she dindn´t do much exercise).

52/146

Teacher also Ask ed Students to work in pairs and say what they regret . Teacher asked students to look at the Words in the language box. If you were supposed to do something. The meaning is very similar to the idea to of a past intention. It suggests to check answers with the class. Note that the topic sentence is, in this case,two sentences. An alternative way for expressing this as a single sentence a d use the sttructure I WISH I HAD..........

When the teacher try to Ask Ss to complete the grammar table individually, by referring t the text in Ex. After that teacher nominated a Student to read the instruction and the grammar explanation to the class.and the question was in the simple past. The response to the question must therefore also refer to the past PEREFCT for the structre of the I WISH I HAD WRITTEN , for example. Students had to complete the grammar table individually by referring to the text in Ex. A and then compared their answers in pairs, discussing any differences.

As following step teacher gave Students a few minutes to think about some things they wish they haven done and use regrets and wishes- to do in the past but he didn´t and why they didn´t do them. Next of these activities teacher asked students to work in pairs and tell their partner about the things they didn’t do, using the phrases in teh box. When this activity finished teacher corrected any errors in the use I WISH I HAD.........

For concluding with this part, it was taking into account to do put students into groups of five or six, and students had te read each other’s descriptive paragraphs Have the students to work in pairs and reapeat the exercise using IF ONLY instead of I WISH , SHE WISHES ETC... Check the answer with the class. Eg.. IF ONLY SHE HAD GONE TO COLLEGE , IF ONLY THEY HADN´T GONE ON VACATION LAST YEAR.....

g.Conclusions

It believes that this lesson help students to know the different ways to think in a different ways to face the some kinds of problems in past perfect and using at the same time I WISH and IF ONLY... for expressing wishes and regrets. What would have happened if something had been too diffrente. In short using hypothetical sentences.

h.Self Evaluation

Most of the time design a a very interesting lesson is very important when using some attitudes for completing the activities and teacher tried to share and listened student´s comments. It required not only to have a good knowledge about any topic, it needs t have some other structures that are extremely important as simple past, and past perfect.

h) To promote student´s autonomy.

14. Procedure

This lesson has been designed on communicative approach development. This topic is focused in the unit 12, “STAGE AND SCREEN!”(p.97) . In this section students have to make use of RELATICE CLAUSES and express it when they make difference between CLAUSES as subject and object. And at the same time students interchange information. The main topic is to recycle vocabulary and some adjectives to describe characters. In this case the book is going t be the mail tool ,which will help us with some activities and they are going to use in the activites.

As icebreaker moment. All students should be organized to play with recycle vocabulary. Ask the students to keep their book closed. Write the word entertainment on the board . Elicit words for different types of entertainment , weg,, movies, theater, dancing, opera, musicals, ballet etc…. Teacher asks students to cover the list of entertainment with a strip of paper. Ask students to work in pairs and discuss what the entertainment in the pictures are most common . Elicit some ideas from the class. Then ask them to uncover the list of entertaiment and match them with the pictures.

As a second activity is in the book (p.97) teacher asks students to look at the picture on the book and the students have to discuss what their favorite activity is. . Then teacher ask them some questions: Whay is that activity so important ? Give the students some minutes to read the questions . The teacher has tyo explain the difference between watch a play and got ot the thaerter, generallye referws to seein g a professional theater production , while wate a play can refer to professional show but it can also mean going to an amateur or children performance, or watchibng a play on Tv.

All the answers are covered, teacher nominates a student to read the grammar explanation to the class. After that teacher ask students to work individually and find examples in the text in Ex. A to complete the grammar table (p-98)

Teacher asks students to compare their answers in pairs and finally teacher ask students to compare their answers in pairs and as last activity teacher check the answers with the class.

Check that the students underatntd some words that are very important for this lesson for example STAND-UP COMIC ( some one whose job is to tos stand in front of the audience and entertain them by telling jokes and stories to make them laugh . The term STAND-UP COMEDIAN is also widely used.

Give tehs students time tot do the task individually . There may be another choice fdor this activity: askl the students gto work individually and rank the activities from 1 (favorite) to 5 (least favotite). Ask them to compare tair

61/146

ranking in pairs . To wrap up , fin out which activity are the most popular in the class and which are the least popular.

Start with a physical warm up that is related to the theme of acting and performing . Ask the students to stand up and for a circle . If you have a class with more than 15 students ask them to form two circles. Nominate a student to start the activity . Ask them to imagine that they are holding an incredibly valuable antique vase , and that they should pass it very carefully around the circle . Repeat the mime activity with other imaginary object , eg and angry cat, a crying baby, a piece of smelly cheese , a hot potato, a full glass of water.

The teacher asks the students to read the instructions before they listen to the recording , play the recording once. Check the answer with the class and he should ask the students what the word or words helped them to decide the answer, eg. Lightning , scenery, ballerina. There is another alternative, the teacher ask the students to keep their books closed. Write the words play, ballet and stand-up comic on the board. Tell the students they will hear two people discussing one of these performances. Play the recording once and ask the students to compare their answer in pairs and at the end, check the answer with the class.

Finally teacher gives students extra practice, ask them to complete sentences using subject relative clause: HE IS THE DIRECTOR WHO´S WORKING ON THIS SHOW, THE LAST SCENE IS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT MAKES PEOPLE CRY. OR THIS IS THE VENUE THAT IS USED FOR THE OSCAR CEREMONY.

15.Conclusions

Personally, I consider this topic so important because it is necessary to understand and remember and express some ideas that are more complex, I mean that are compound sentence; The compound sentences have more than one main verb. All the verbs in simple past (regular and irregulars, most of the time), then they acquire more knowledge (vocabulary) to express their iades in a complex structure.. Finally they have to use that new knowledge. In the end, they are going to learn progressively, and they are going to notice it. They are going to recycle also some vocabulary that they learnt in the previous lessons so they can re-use and remember in order to enrich their background.

16.Self Evaluation

62/146

The main objective of all the lessons is having a communicative approach, for this reason it is important that learners interact between them. Activities have to be different, interesting, and valuable for the students. Grammar is boring for most of the students; so, the grammar activities have to be joyful and related to the daily life, otherwise they are going to forget it and dispose the information. Interaction with the learners has to be taken into account. No matter the topic, it is important to provide confidence to them, so they could feel eager to interact and make questions when necessary. When the students are facing some grammar structure they do not want to follow ordinary lessons but different ones where the SS can interact in pairs or in groups.

This course will help to our students to create a short biography from a list of facts and using brainstorm.

3, Topic: Stage and Screen (Object Relative Clauses)


Motivation is a essential part in the language adquisition, most of the tiome when the students like what they are learning and how they are learning. That is why they have to use the information they like. I mean fashion, Tv shows and performing lifestyle. The real motivation for this course was the students read and talk about someone who they admired and they want to show them the rest of their partners . We believe that it is a success project because our students get more interesting about their careers and also they care about the qualities, abilities and values to those people who they admired. It is very important to involve the students in searching the knowledge or information to get a complete biography.

Being involve in today´s fashion world is very easy for the students because currently we have a lot of technology and they can have the newest information We believe that the students will be motivated when they know how much effort did those talent people did and attitudes they had when they did such amazing discovers.

7. Procedure

You will find the information on page101 from the unit 10 that its title is STAGE AND SCREEN A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of the Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and tips, which not only facilitate lesson planning, but has helped me to improve my classes everyday, giving me strategies to improve in my teaching techniques. During UT’s term, the English academy has been able to discuss and use many of these strategies and examples first hand, and the lessons learned from trainers´ and colleagues´ experience have made us appreciate and be aware of why I include certain exercises in the lesson and what benefits they can offer.

For the first exercise, the icebreaker, the teacher has to write on the board : THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN WAS……THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER WAS……..; THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN WAS…… Ask the students to complete the sentences individually . Then ask them to work in groups of four or five and compare their answer . Elicit some ideas from the class.

paste different pictures of some actor s an d actress who were starring t

some famous and popular movies. Each group have to talk about those movies and give their opinin why they like those films or why they did not like in order to start getting into the main topic. OBJECT RELATIVE CLAUSE.

Read the isntructyions to the class , and check that the students understand the word TAGLINE ( a short phrase or slogan for advertising something) . Movies tagline are the shortest sentences that sometimes appear after a title of a movie and are used to promote a movie in advertisements . They usually give a small clue as to what the movies is going to be about. Encourrage the students to look at the type of movie if they need an additional hint

We opened the books (p. 101) and individually the students looked at the language in context and the read read all this information, after they had to match them and understand the information. These sentences could be checked in pairs. This social strategy, helping and learning from each other, not only it is a benefit of knowledge, but it promotes autonomous learning. We ask to student to read aloud the language context some information that has Object Relative Clause.

The next step is clarify the meaning of new vocabulary through the use of different means and we are able to check our students have understood (p.101) with this vocabulary we can manage the class effectively in a wide variety of context taking into consideration the learners’ needs and level of the language competence as well as mixed abilities.

Ask the students to do the matching task individually and then compare their answer in pair or in group and if necessary discuss any different point of view.

73/146

Check the answer with the class . Ask the students give reasons for their choices. Point out that dude ir a very informal expression for man ant that it is generally used in a friendly way to address a man . In this context rendition is the process of transferring terrorist suspects from one jurisdiction to another.

After that, we can use a variety of exercise types and example, students get together in groups of 4 and read page 111, they should answer all the question trivia, an example What famous tenor died in 2007? etc. they share their answer and we give them instructions to close book and be prepare to play a trivia game. Each team ask one question to another team, and they will have 30 seconds to answer it correctly and get one point.

Then we open the book on page 101, and we review grammar points “Object pronouns”, we use slides and present a chart showing the grammar about object pronouns and we also show the differences between subject pronouns and object pronouns. After students will work by pairs and choose one important person, who is recognized for their inventions or actions in the past. They are going to do a biography about this important person and they are going to present in front to their partners using all grammar points (verbs in past and object pronouns) and vocabulary.

To conclude I asked the students to tell us the reason about why these people where mode role for them and explain what attitudes are they having .Ask the students to keep a record of all TV shows they watch in one week . Ask them to write the names of the show and what type of show it is. They should also give each show a rating from 5 (very good/ interesting ) to 1 (very bad/boring). At the end of the week , ask them to work in groups of four or five students and compare their findings. Ask each group to report back to the class and say which programs were the most and the least popular. The students have to answer The Workbook, p 59 section 3 and 60 section 4.

7. Conclusions

I think this lesson encouraged students to know and what is their purpose in life, what attitudes they should have it if they want to be a successful people in their careers, It also helps to students to learn a little bit of fashion world and famous people for their careers and their performance in life out of the stage. using new vocabulary and verbs regulars and irregulars in past. I believe that this lesson improve students to take care about their actions and attitudes to help them in the future, we finish our class telling students, if they want a better future, they should know the past event to not do the same mistakes.

8. Self Evaluation

The class shoulg have all the element that are necesry por the students like sounds, images, some videos and performing or acxting so that is way I try to do this lesson more dynamic with the slide projector because students want to

74/146

look at their favorite actors and actress , and also using pictures in a language classroom, give students different classroom situations in order to be prepared for the real life. Even these scenes are not the real life, students use their imagination for locate themselves in those situation. , encouraging and motivating the students to learn and use the language and I also incorporate learning task and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and take into account learners’ learning styles and cultural expectations.

September 2012


This area covers a wide range of needs that learners need, specially the advanced students. For this area it is necessary to provide social forms where learners could face difficult situations. It is necessary that learners establish a micro peer teaching, where they are going to learn by interacting with classmates. Media e-learning is important in order to complement their knowledge. Other techniques as materials use and pronunciation training are required to cover the cognitive development that learners need. The teacher has to play as a counselor and lead the students into an environment of awareness of the language,


This, material is designed for learners in a level 6 course. Most of the learners are students between the ages of 18 and 25, with some age exceptions. The class is focused on let the learners use the present and the impersonal for giving medical advice. For this reason it is necessary to make a review of the present tense and the impersonal con IT IS……. TO…Thus, students are going to be able to express medical advice by making use of time expressions and new vocabulary about illness and symptoms. The book needed for this class is open mind 6 from Macmillan editorial; covering the unit 9, page 92.

3. Topic – Writing Information on a Medical Form


- Talk about injuries- Asking for and giving medical advice

- Asking for clarification

- Describing health problems

- Making suggestions.

5. Personal aims

82/146

i) To provide information about health.

j) To let students know about caring about thier health and some prevetion for some illness.

k) To let students establish communication patterns where they could make medical advice.

l) To motivate and encourage the students to experiment with the language.

m) To promote learner autonomy.

6. Procedure

The utsv is focused on communicative approach development; which is

achieved through a constant interaction between students. This topic is focused in the unit 9, “BODY TALK” (p. 87). In this section learners have to make use of a medical form. They also have to give some advice for some symptoms by using body talk and illness expressions. It is necessary to review the present and the vocabulary for symptoms and diseases in order to let them interact in a context. The first thing to do is remember the structure and characteristic of medical conditions, medical vocabulary, and of course symptoms.

The first exercise is an icebreaker. All the students must be organized in a horseshoe form. The main idea is practicing the new vocabulary and recycle the previous vocabulary that the students learnt in the past.. The activity consists in creating a filling a medical form. The teacher has to provide the first idea by showing a real medical prescription. Ask the students to work in pairs and discuss in what situation people have to fill in medical forms . Listen to some ideas from class . Possible situations : when starting a new job, when enrolling in a school, college or university, when taking out an insurance policy, or when applying for a driver´s license , etc..

Then, it is necessary a small introduction about how the medical topic, I mean illness, symptoms atc,,. The next activity is in the book (p.91). In order to clarify the topic, it is necessary that students listen a conversation in this page, and make a full inferring about the usage of the medical advice in the real life arter that the SS will brainstorm about similar situation in a doctor´s office. The conversation also shows a few time expressions that students could use. After this activity, it is necessary a quick review about the topic so far, it is necessary to have a small feedback and clarify the grammar. After that, they have to continue working with the rest of the activities of the page. Once they finished, the teacher

83/146

provides clarification and mistakes corrections on the activities, more feedback time is required to answer to learners´ doubts.

After this activity the SS will listen to a dialogue between a patient and a doctor so that they get into these atmosphere and use their imagination for this topic.. They are going to see some pictures, and then they have to describe the situation accordinf to the topic o f the unit. MEDICAL FORM .

For the last activity, learners have to make a medical form and a prescription to a partner. They have to write their illness, the symptoms and the possible pieces of davice thy need for healing this medical problem.. Then they have to deliver the medical form to a partner. Learners have to response the medical form with a prescrioption performing as doctors. The teacher has to point the mistake and correct it, and then they have to read the prescription to the class.

To finish the session, the teacher has to provide a complete feedback for the entire class, and provide homework in the workbook page 54 section 5. The teacher has to check the homework, and provide feedback of it next session.

7. Conclusions

This topic is helpful to make use of a grammatical structure into a different usage. For this reason it is important that learners get aware about how much to they know about the symptoms and injuries or diseases , and then use it for different purpose in the class to give help or to express symptoms.. It is also a good opportunity to let students evaluate themselves because they already know this topic since it is obvious they have gone to the doctor and they have this experience in mind. They just need to put ii into a classroom context. The topic enforces vocabulary already known by the students, and they acquire new vocabulary. The aim is to provide more complex activities that are going to make students analyze situations. In the end, learners are going to feel more satisfied to face more difficult contexts like this topic.

8. Self Evaluation

The class is designed to cover some grammar points related to medical situartions. The activities provides an important section where students are able to make correction. As this area specifies, it is important to have evaluation (as soon as possible). However, instant evaluation turns complex when having groups with many students. For that reason, evaluation could be considered as an extra class activity for the teacher; providing results next session. Digital environment is helpful to cover this task. As a very quick evatuation of the topic, the students participate everyday at the end of the class in a daily oral evaluation. This is a very useful tool in the teaching area because you can realize that SS really catch the theme, the way you expected.. By clarifying the topic

84/146

where learners could have problems, the ss will feel more comfortable with the new structures they learnt .

Theme and motivation

The real motivation for this course was the students start thinking about how to make composition using new vocabulary and the object relative clause and the subject relative clause.

z) To promote learner autonomy.



6. Procedure

You should look up this information on page 103 from level 6. A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of the Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and tips, which not only facilitate lesson planning, but has helped me to improve my classes everyday, reflect and draw conclusions from observations and self-observation in order to gain a better understanding of the teaching situation and validate, bring changes to and improve my teaching, put forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional development, receive and make use of feedback on my teaching performance. During UT’s term, the English academy has been able to discuss and incorporate the systematic sharing of ideas to promote best practice.

For the first exercise, the icebreaker, ask the students to read the instructions, and ask them to complete the task individually and tghen to compare with a partner their answer, and discussing any difference. Check the answer with the class. Note that the topic sentence is , in this case, two sentences. An alternative way of expressing this as a single sentence would be PROJECT RUNAWAY IS MY FAVORITE REALITY TV SHOW . Ask the ss to why the writer has chosen to start her paragraph with a question (eg. To raise the level of interest)

Ask the students what their plans for the writing, example Tv show a play etc... Ask them to work in pairs and make a list of the programs they like. Don’t expect them to produce any future forms here ( If they write things like . Have the students look at the statements again and think about members of their family and the like the have about television. Have them work in pairs and talk about their family and friends in this way: My sister always plans everything very carefully, but my friends do not make plans.

Present slides to the students and remind them of the form of the present progressive: the verb be + the -ing form of the verb and remember to them it will be used for future arrangements. We opened the book (p. 118) and individually the students choose a present progressive sentence from the conversation in this page and write it on the board. Elicit the same sentence using different pronouns. Focus on the contractions of the verb to be. Ask the students to read the conversation again and underline all the examples of the present progressive. Elicit the answers from the class, emphasize that we use the present progressive for the future to talk about plans that are definite.

The next step have the students look at the picture (p. 103). Ask some questions to set the scene. Tell the students that they will hear a conversation between the two people in the picture and that some words as well as the singular, as these are the ones which are heard in the recording. Check the meaning and pronunciation of these words, chorally and individually. Encourage the students to write the key words. After that, we can open the book (p.103) read the instructions and the three target phrases to the class. Tell the students that these are three very common,


useful expression that use the verb go. Read the instruction to the class. Refer the students to the grammar table, and point out the future form with going to. Elicit that it is always proceeded by the simple present form of be and followed by the base form of the verb, tell the students should practice in the worksheet 12A, tell them the difference between the present progressive and going to when talking about future plans. Tell students that we use the present progressive when the plans are definite. Emphasize that we use the going to form to express plans in the form of intentions (things that we strongly want to do).

Finally ask the students to keep their books closed. Elicit from them what different skills they have practiced while suing this book. Elicit speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Ask them which of these skills is the easiest and which is the most difficult, and shy. Then ask them what general areas of language they have practiced. Elicit grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Ask them which of these they think is the most important, and why. Finally, have them say which skills and areas of language they like the most/least and why.

7. Conclusions

I think this lesson encouraged students to know and what is their purpose in life, what plans they have in life, and they can describe some situation about play, comic programs and in general about television. The students can understand and use object relative clause and subject to talk about and describing TV shows, and use this description to use all the knowledge learnt before.

8. Self Evaluation

I try to do this lesson authentic, using slides in a language classroom, give students difficult classroom situations, encouraging and motivating the students to learn and use the language and I also incorporate learning task and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and take into account learners’ learning styles and cultural expectations. I also incorporate the systematic sharing of ideas with colleagues to promote best practice and access the relevant support systems that will enable me to develop further and find solutions to my teaching problems. One of the most important facts, I put forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional development.

6. Procedure

The topic of the new chapter (Unit 11/p.107) was BREAKING THE RULES and in this lesson we looked describing student’s own talents and asking about other people’s, describing people’s positive qualities, talking about abilities and talking about who can do what in a group. A good part of this lesson directly follows the lesson layout of the Teacher’s Guide. This book is an invaluable selection of guidelines and tips, which not only facilitate lesson planning, but have taught me many useful strategies to improve my teaching and help my students. During our UT’s term, we have been able to discuss and use many of these strategies and examples first hand, and the lessons learned from trainers´ and colleagues´ experience have made us appreciate and be aware of why I’m including certain exercises in the lesson and what benefits they can offer.

For the Icebreaker part Teacher had to ask T ask the Ss to work in pairs and discuss what rules they have to follow in the school building or in the classroom. It was very important to elicit students to answer and try to think in English Ideas. Then Teacher listened several ideas from the class.Teacher ask Students to say whatever they know about social rules. After that part, Teacher elicited suggestions like : You shouldn’t run in the corridor. You shouldn’t eat in the classroom.

For the final part of Icebreaker moment Teacher gave a moment to read the instruccions carefully and Teacher made sure they understand confession(telling the truth about something they did that was wrong)

After that activity Teacher asked Students to open the book (p.) and individually Students looked at the exercise in the book.

Next step Teacher asked Stu work in pairs and they compare the examples that they have found in the Icebreaker part.

After that processes Teacher asked Students to work in pairs and compared the examples they found of rule-breaking, discussing any differences. Then Teacher asked Students to decide which is the most serious example of rule serious and why, after that Teacher elicited several responses from the class along with each example of rule breaking, teacher elicited more information about why it is wrong, e.g. why the girl who was crossing the street was breaking a rule (because the sign says “DON’T WALK”).Students Pointed out that the car was driving the wrong way along one-way street. Students asked what the woman with the dog was doing(walking on the grass where there is a “Do not Walk on the grass” sign). Students nominated an S to read instructions and the grammar explanation to the class. After that teacher focused on the form of the structure. Students pointed out that is the past form of be going to.

After all the above mentioned teacher checked the answers with the class. Teacher pointed out that jaywalking was a dangerous or illegal way of crossing a street at a

105/146


NGUAGE AWARENESS

place where cars did not normally stop. The Students had to do exercise individually and then they compared their answers in pairs, discussing any differences. After that activity students answered each question in plenary.

For definition words teacher asked Students worked with their partners from Ex.B. and teacher asked Students to work in pairs and say what the man should and shouldn’t have done using new verbs. Teacher asked Students to look at the Words in the language box. If you were supposed to do something. The meaning was very similar to the idea to of a past intention.

In the part of focus grammar teacher asked students to see the student´s book page for the audio script. Teacher asked Students to read the question and options carefully. Teacher Showed Students the grammar structure for S+Should have+past participle+C. And teacher asked students to complete the grammar table individually, by referring t the text in Ex. A teacher nominated a Student to read the instruction and the grammar explanation to the class.

For Transfer part teacher drew Students´s attention to the Watch out! Box.

Teacher pointed out that the second example was inappropriate because, although it was grammatically correct, it refered to the present or inmmediate future, and the question was in the simple past. The response to the question must therefore also refer to the past. Teacher had Students complete the grammar table individually by referring to the text in Ex. A and then they compared their answers in pairs, discussing any differences.

For consolidation part teacher asked students do this exercise individually and then they compared their answers in pairs. Students checked the answer with the class. They read the instructions to the class.

Ask Ss to read the model sentence.

Ask Ss to work in pairs and tell their partner about the actions and their consequences. He asked Students to look at the examples in the Watch out! Box, teacher reminded them that they should not forget to use going to, even if the main verb was go. Teacher gave Students a few minutes to think about some things they were going to do in the past but he didn´t and why they didn´t do them.

For conclusion and evaluation part for the class teacher put the students into groups of three or four to discuss the questions. When the groups finished, teacher elicited some ideas from the class. Teacher listened to some ideas from the class and correct any errors in the use of should have/ shouldn´t have. Then teacher asked Students to work in pairs and told their partners about the things they didn’t do, using the phrases in the box. Students corrected any errors in the use of was/were going to.

106/146



For final part a homework teacher asked Students to complete asked Students to complete WORKBOOK p- 64, section 2. And for the other topic teacher asked Students to do exercises from WORKBOOK page 66,section 5.

7.- Conclusions

This lesson contained many exercises for revising the modal SHOULD/SHOULDN’T for giving advises. the examples using pictures or images for auxiliary verb and short answers appealed to the students and it hopes to help them to understand the structure. As a teacher it gives the chance to personalize the subject and talk about something as rules and advises. This lesson motivates the Students to apply their ideas for expressing advises and at the same time help them to improve vocabulary for being creator of their own learning processes.

8. Self Evaluation

In this part of this work, it is important to say that it was a very interesting way to introduce the topics for encourages the students to use grammar rules and structure as a communicative tool for communicating each other. However it has been created with the best tools to improve their vocabulary. This plan was a good option for helping the students to create a good communicative approach.

This area covers the needs that students require when they are learning a language. It is focused on correcting mistakes and a same time gives the students all the tools for help them to learn through self-learning in order to improve their own learning process.


This work has been designed for learners in level 3. Most of students are studying so they are between ages of 18 and 24, and some students older than them.

This lesson has been designed to help students to comprehend the main ideas in oral exercises. The main purpose is to encourage using the gerund phrases as subject and object, .At the end they must be able to talk about unusual jobs and different work and workplace.

123/146


23. Procedure

This lesson has been designed on communicative approach development. This topic is focused in the unit 12, “JUST THE JOB!”(p.117). in this section students have to make use of gerund phrases and express it when they make difference between gerund phrases as subject and object. And at the same time students interchange information. The main topic is to recycle vocabulary and some adjectives to describe characters. In this case the book is going t be the mail tool, which will help us with some activities and they are going to use in the activities.

As icebreaker moment. All students should be organized to play with recycle vocabulary. Teacher asks students to cover the list of jobs with a strip of paper. Ask students to work in pairs and discuss what the people in the pictures are doing, and what their jobs might be. Elicit some ideas from the class. Then ask them to uncover the list of jobs and match them with the pictures.

As a second activity is in the book (p.119) teacher asks students to look at the picture on the website or a flashcard. Then teacher ask them some questions: How old the woman is? How might she be feeling right now? Where is she? Where does she work? Do you think she likes her job?

Once all the answers are covered, teacher nominates a student to read the grammar explanation to the class. After that teacher ask students to work individually and find examples in the text in Ex. A to complete the grammar table (p-119)


The fact that gerunds are verbal nouns and are formed by adding –ing to the verb, e.g. dancing, working, teaching, studying, singing, and so on. Teacher must reminds students that many verbs ending in consonant-vowel-consonant double the last consonant when forming the gerund, e.g. run-running, swim-swimming. Teacher emphasizes that gerunds can be the subject of the sentence, e.g. dancing is fun, or the object of the sentence, and e.g. I like dancing.

Finally teacher gives students extra practice, ask them to complete sentences using gerund phrases: I really enjoy…I’m very interested in …I don’t like….is good way to make money… it is enjoyable way to spend the evening: is a good way to keep in shape.

24. Conclusions

I consider this topic important because it is necessary to differentiate all the gerund phrases, which are objects and which are subject (regular and irregulars). I consider that these activities are helpful to let students realize

124/146


ANDBOOK about the knowledge that they posses already, then they acquire

more knowledge (vocabulary). Finally they have to use new knowledge. At the end, they are going to learn progressively, and they are going to realize.

25. Self Evaluation

As a concerned teacher for the students it is very important to use good material for helping students to make difference between gerund phrases as subject or object. It is our responsibility to give our students joyful grammar activities. As the same time to encourage the students to use English as a different way to communicate.

The main objective of all the lessons is having a communicative approach, for this reason it is important that learners interact between them. Activities have to be different, interesting, and valuable for the students. Grammar is boring for most of the students; so, the grammar activities have to be joyful and related to the daily life, otherwise they are going to forget it and dispose the information. Interaction with the learners has to be taken into account. No matter the topic, it is important to provide confidence to them, so they could feel eager to interact and make questions when necessary.

The fact that gerunds are verbal nouns and are formed by adding –ing to the verb, e.g. dancing, working, teaching, studying, singing, and so on.

This area has been selected with correct methods as tools for learning and teaching objectives, evaluation, selection and adaptation of teaching and learning materials to suit the aims of the lesson. Teacher has been working with the same group and criteria help beginning teachers distinguish real communication from „apparent“ communication. No all oral activities are created equal.


This course is a 6th level course. Where students will be able to produce simple sentences in different tenses, use gerunds as subjects and objects, talk about events, describe some historical event and listen and understand details in a reading or story. This course will help our students to create a short writing description.

3, Topic: stress patterns with separable and nonseparable phrasal verbs.


In this parte students need to talk about a reality TV show. Teacher asks students what they think happens in a show like this (people exchange jobs for a short period). Teacher asks students if they know any other shows like this.

It thinks that students are motivated because they like this kind of TV shows and in this way they are involved in the same background knowledge.

ANDBOOK 6. Personal aims

oo) To motivate students to present and talk about people who they admired.

pp) To explain the structure for use the separable and nonseparable verbs.

qq) To motivate and encourage the students to experiment with the language.

rr) To promote learner autonomy.

ss) To promote learners to learn how to answer an interview for getting a job.

7.-ProcedureFor the first exercise, the icebreaker, teacher must have students work in groups of four and discuss these two questions: if you could choose any job in the world, what job would you do? Why would you choose that job? Listen some ideas from the class.

As the first activity teacher asks students to read the instruction and the question. After that students do the exercise individually and then compare their answers in pairs and later students check their answers with the class.

After this activity teacher asks students to look at the examples in the language box. Point out that separable phrasal verbs often have these adverbial particles: up, down, on, off, out, back, and away.

Teacher highlight that phrasal verbs with back and away are always separable, because back and away cannot function as prepositions and therefore cannot go before nouns or pronouns.

After that teacher explain that phrasal verbs can have more than one preposition. Teacher asks the students to find an example in the text (I didn´t get along with them) teacher emphasize that phrasal verbs are always non-separable.

Teacher point out to look at the examples in the Watch Out! Box. And teacher reminds them that in separable phrasal verbs, the adverbial particle cannot go before a pronoun. Separable phrasal verbs can be separated by a noun or pronoun, but the pronoun can’t go at the end.

As a final point teacher ask students to do exercise individually and then to compare their answers in pairs. Teacher asks students to compare their answers in pair and discuss a business they’d like to set up.

To conclude I asked the students to tell us the reason about why these people where mode role for them and explain what attitudes are they having.

7. Conclusions

I think this lesson encouraged students to know and what is attitude they have to face in life, what attitudes they should have. This lesson improve students to get some ideas to have a brainstorm a list of interesting types of businesses they can set up and the advantages and disadvantages of that business.

133/146


8. Self Evaluation

I also incorporate learning task and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and take into account learners’ learning styles and cultural expectations. As a teacher I have to encourage students to use some of the phrasal verbs and gerund phrases verbs and gerund phrases from this unit. I give student the better tools to use the verbs and apply them in the real context.
