CELTA Feedback

 2. Anticipated problems

When you say Ss are going to have trouble pronouncing words, say which words and add the transcription of the possible mistake. Your third problem is confusing, as there is no practice In a reading lesson.

There is just one problem has to do with reading. Please add one more.

3. language analysis

Except the nouns, the items you have selected to introduce seem to be a bit below the level of these Ss. Make sure there isn't any other item worth introducing. Also, include transitivity in verb forms.

Besides, please review the session on CCQ's and improve yours. Questions like 'How is this place?' are both grammatically inappropriate, and incorrect in terms of checking the concept.

4. Procedures

a. Avoid using time bands. Provide each stage with a probable timing.

b. Be more descriptive. Include the answers to tasks and how you intend to collect feedback from Ss.

C. What you label 'set the scene' is part of the lead in. 'Set the scene' takes place right before the text phase of the lesson. It is missing in your plan.

D. Include interaction and timing for the last stage of your lesson.

5. General

Remember this is an intermediate group formed by reasonably strong students. Remember the projector image in the room you will teach is a bit faint, which may make it more difficult for Ss to see pictures. Make them big, if you intend to use them.

Besides, double check all target language in terms of meaning and pronunciation.

I won't be with you this time, but I am sure you will look at your plan, change it accordingly and deliver a great lesson.
