This document outlines an agenda for a second microteaching session focused on making fun, communicative language lessons. The objectives are to have participants demonstrate their understanding of course concepts by delivering a lesson, and to explore ways to create engaging communicative lessons. The agenda includes time for participants to prepare and deliver a microteaching session, receive peer feedback, and work on developing an e-blog where they can publish an analysis of a communicative activity. Guidelines are provided for evaluating the microteaching lessons and e-blogs.
