CONCLUSION

On this unit it´s important that students get the information and show that they use this structure
correctly .I believe that us a teachers have to teach to students how to use the language , let‟s
remember that us are motivators as well so we need to use all the tools as we can.

SELF-EVALUATION

When students answer something we can notice if the form that we were using was correct , just look
their faces ,if they don‟t have all the correct information the look like a warriors in a hard road but in
the other side if they learn and understand everything they look like a fish in to water.

PLANNING AND EVALUATION

DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA

Planning an educational evaluation refers to a systematic and ongoing process which includes:

-Researching and collecting information, from different sources, about the learning process, the
content, the methods, the context, the outcomes of an educational activity.

-The establishment of certain criteria (evaluation criteria)

-The discernment and judgment of the analyzed information (according to the set evaluation criteria
and at the light of the educational objectives).

-Drawing conclusions and recommendations which allow the re-orientation and eventual improvement
of the educational activity”

Educational evaluation can help to change things and to plan “different things”, but it can also help us
to plan things better, in order to prevent negative consequences and to compensate for possible
shortcomings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE

In this course student have to communicate feelings , arguments , thinking , knowledge , ideas ,
reflexions ,opinions in all public areas like personal, educational and occupational , resourcing and
respectively in English Language , the student has to be autonomous , the student has to understand
how to use daily expressions , greetings and interchange personal information about daily routine
and habits.

The student will be able to interchange personal information about himself and other person talking
about daily routine and habits.
The student will be able to write a description from himself and other person about daily routine and
free-time activities.
PERSONAL AIMS

The main aim in this area is to evaluate students, with different types of strategies, in all language
skills using the CEFR as a reference to check how well they can read, speak, write and understand
the use and form for the simple present; evaluate if they have achieved and acquired competences.



PROCEDURE

With the different evaluations methods this area evaluates the competencies: knowledge, skills,
attitudes, abilities and values gained, developed or achieved during the educational activity.

   1- In the warm –up activity previous knowledge and students needs can be evaluated by asking
      or let them express orally.

   2- Vocabulary will be evaluated with a memory game.

   3- To evaluate listening, a short quiz with video will be used.

   4- In grammar structure, students have to create a presentation where they include and apply
      grammar to describe pictures and daily life activities.

   5- To evaluate speaking they will present their projects in class where they have to explain it.


   6- A final written exam will be used to evaluate grammar and writing skills.

   7- Students answer a short test to evaluate their performance and participation in the course.



CONCLUSIONS

On this unit it´s important that students get the information and show that they use this structure
correctly. We know that there are not golden rules” for the development of a perfect educational
evaluation.

We have to be creative to choose the correct strategies to use formative and summative evaluations
which can provide us real results about our students.

SELF EVAUATION

These questions can help to evaluate ourselves as teachers to realize if we are doing a good job at
the planning and evaluation moment.

Do I define the    aims    of   my   lesson?

Do I plan my lessons     including different evaluation techniques?
Do I use various     ways     of    conducing    a     course    evaluation?

Do I do needs      analysis    and    assess     my     student‟s     language          competence     according     to
the CEFR?

Do I inform my students on language                  examinations     available         to    them    and   advise
them on the appropriate options for                  them?

Do I help my    students      to    plan   further    learning   to    suit     their        needs?

verbal and non-verbal communication signs that may be very different from ours. They will also
understand the importance of intercultural dialogue.


6. Self Evaluation


The objective for this lesson is to get the students culturally aware. The material provided should
appeal the interest of students and made them aware of the importance of developing the necessary
skills for intercultural communication. However, it is important to keep in mind that for most students
this may be the first contact with a new language, so the teacher has to have the ability to adapt to
the student‟s pace and yet keep the teaching going.

CONCLUSION

Throughout the development of this lesson, students acquired knowledge of the use of
comparative and superlative adjectives by performing different activities. The whole
group was certainly motivated to learn because all the material and activities applied
on this lesson were focused on different learning styles. So we as teachers must
always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different
ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning
results indeed.



SELF-EVALUATION

I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved.
Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use
comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the
opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.
LESSON PLAN

e.g. 1 hour class

Warm-up             The teacher shows students some
                    images and elicits adjectives from them.
                    (5min)
Act. 1              The teacher asks some students to
                    pass infront and asks the rest of the
                    class some questions about their
                    physical appearance. Eg. Who is taller
                    Pepe or Mario?
                    Then she encourages ss to use the
                    following structure. Eg. Pepe is taller
                    than Mario.
                    The teacher keeps doing the same with
                    different classmates.(15min)
Act. 2              The teacher explains the rules of the
                    formation of comparative adjectives.
                    (15min)
Act. 3              The teacher pastes some posters of
                    different famous people on the board
                    and asks ss to make comparisons
                    among them.(15min)
Closing             The teacher throws a ball or balloon to
                    someone in the class by the time she
                    says an adjective.The student who
                    catches the ball will have to say a
                    comparative statement that fits for 2 of
                    her/his classmates. Then the student
will have to throw the ball again and the
                                      classmate who catches it will do the
                                      same.(10min)

                         CLOSING




CONCLUSION:

By selecting and adapting different teaching methods and approaches it was easier to fulfill the
lesson‟s objectives. Through role-play and other activities students had the opportunity to practice
should and shouldn‟t and they were able to use vocabulary related to ailments in context. Due to this
experience I consider it necessary to keep on track of new methods and teaching strategies in order
to provide students with the necessary tools for a second language learning environment.



SELF-EVALUATION

It was a bit hard to choose the appropriate methods because I first had to check students‟
background, however I was able to achieve my goals and I think the lesson finally was a big
succeeds because I was aware of everything surrounding my class as for example, materials,
instructions, error correction, etc.

                             she/he will advice students by using
                             should or shouldn‟t in case they suffer
                             the same ailment than her/him.

                             a toothache, she should go to the
                             dentist. At the end, the teacher will
                             show the flashcards again but this time,
                             she/he will elicit the ailments and
                             advices from students. (15min)
Act. 2                       The teacher will ask some students to
                             mime different ailments infront of the class
                             and the rest of it will have to guess what the
                             ailment is, afterwards they will have to say
                             the corresponding advice to that ailment
                             using should or shouldn‟t. (15min)
Act. 3                       Students will be given papers with different
situations they will have to role-play. Eg.
                              STUDENT A: You have a problem with
                              your health. Tell student B what‟s wrong
                              with you and ask him/her for advice.
                              STUDENT B: Student A has a problem with
                              his/her health. Listen to him/her and then
                              tell him/her what he/she should or shouldn‟t
                              do. Once students have the activity ready,
                              they will present it to their classmates and
                              then the teacher is going to ask them
                              questions about what happened in each
                              situation encouraging them to use
                              vocabulary related to ailments and
                              should/shouldn‟t.
                              (20 min)
Closing                       The teacher will review the class by miming
                              his/herself some of the ailments and
                              students will have to say an advice. Eg. T-
                              What‟s wrong with me?( by the time she/he
                              touches her/his head) SS- You have a
                              headache. T- What shoud I do? SS- You
                              should take a pain reliever. (5 min)

THE USE OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T

      We use should and shouldn't to give advice or to talk about what we think is
      right or wrong.

      You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do it.
      You shouldn't means something like I think it is a bad idea for you to do it.
      Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I think or I
      don't think.


Examples

You look tired. I think you should take a few days off.

Alice works very long hours. She should to talk to her boss.

- I have an English test tomorrow.
- I shouldn't worry if I were you. You have worked really hard.
- I never have enough money.
- I don't think you should go out so much.




Should - Quick Grammar Note

To give advice to someone you can also say:

       I should do it if I were you.
       I shouldn't be so rude, if I were you.

When you regret not doing something in the past, you can say:

       I shouldn't have spoken to him like that.
       I should have apologized earlier

DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA

LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESS

Second-language acquisition or second-language learning is the process by which
people learn a second language. Second-language acquisition (often abbreviated to
SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to studying that process. There are
many different learning types and approaches to learning. To learn effectively it is
important to tailor your study habits to your own needs and approach, this often means
choosing techniques that work for you and evaluating them from time to time to
determine if you need to try something new.




DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE

This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25, 12
women and 8 men. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 6:00pm. This is a motivated group, most of the
students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students
are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too.

CONCLUSION

Throughout the development of this lesson, students acquired knowledge of the use of
comparative and superlative adjectives by performing different activities. The whole
group was certainly motivated to learn because all the material and activities applied
on this lesson were focused on different learning styles. So we as teachers must
always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different
ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning
results indeed.



SELF-EVALUATION

I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved.
Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use
comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the
opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.
LESSON PLAN

e.g. 1 hour class

Warm-up             The teacher shows students some
                    images and elicits adjectives from them.
                    (5min)
Act. 1              The teacher asks some students to
                    pass infront and asks the rest of the
                    class some questions about their
                    physical appearance. Eg. Who is taller
                    Pepe or Mario?
                    Then she encourages ss to use the
                    following structure. Eg. Pepe is taller
                    than Mario.
                    The teacher keeps doing the same with
                    different classmates.(15min)
Act. 2              The teacher explains the rules of the
                    formation of comparative adjectives.
                    (15min)
Act. 3              The teacher pastes some posters of
                    different famous people on the board
                    and asks ss to make comparisons
                    among them.(15min)
Closing             The teacher throws a ball or balloon to
                    someone in the class by the time she
                    says an adjective.The student who
                    catches the ball will have to say a
                    comparative statement that fits for 2 of
                    her/his classmates. Then the student
                    will have to throw the ball again and the
                    classmate who catches it will do the
                    same.(10min)

          To motivate students, we need the students to realize that they can apply
          what they practice in class, in a real life situation. If We can make this, we can
          say that it is a successful lesson because the students will be more interested
          in their activities and also they will show interest in their classmates‟ activities.
          Students will feel motivated when they share their interest with other students.

                                   FOUR SKILLS




5.- Conclusions
I think this lesson encouraged students to experiment with the language, to use the
previous vocabulary and grammar they learned. I consider that this lesson was useful
for them because it made them realize that there is a purpose, that they can use it in a
real life situation. The objective in general of this course is that students realize that
they can apply the language, the can use the activities practiced in the classroom to
interact outside the class.


6.- Self Evaluation
I try to do this lesson attractive , using slide in a language classroom, giving students
real life situations, encouraging and motivating the students to learn and use the
language and I also incorporate listening task and activities which encourage and
facilitate learner autonomy and interaction between the integrant of the class. These
activities take into account learners‟ learning styles and cultural expectations. I also
shared ideas with colleagues to promote the improvement in our classrooms and
students.

CONCLUSIONS On this unit it´s important that students get the information and show that they use this structure correctly. We know that there are not golden rules” for the development of a perfect educational evaluation. We have to be creative to choose the correct strategies to use formative and summative evaluations which can provide us real results about our students. SELF EVAUATION These questions can help to evaluate ourselves as teachers to realize if we are doing a good job at the planning and evaluation moment. Do I define the aims of my lesson? Do I plan my lessons including different evaluation techniques?
  • 7. Do I use various ways of conducing a course evaluation? Do I do needs analysis and assess my student‟s language competence according to the CEFR?

  • 15. HANDBOOK TOPIC : COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES LEVEL : ENGLISH II DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESS
  • 16. Second-language acquisition or second-language learning is the process by which people learn a second language. Second-language acquisition (often abbreviated to SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to studying that process. There are many different learning types and approaches to learning. To learn effectively it is important to tailor your study habits to your own needs and approach, this often means choosing techniques that work for you and evaluating them from time to time to determine if you need to try something new. DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25, 12 women and 8 men. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 6:00pm.

PRESENTATION OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES PRACTICE OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES PRODUCTION OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES IN CONTEXT CLOSING CONCLUSION Throughout the development of this lesson, students acquired knowledge of the use of comparative and superlative adjectives by performing different activities. The whole group was certainly motivated to learn because all the material and activities applied on this lesson were focused on different learning styles. So we as teachers must always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning results indeed. SELF-EVALUATION I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved. Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.
  • 19. LESSON PLAN e.g. 1 hour class Warm-up The teacher shows students some images and elicits adjectives from them. (5min) Act. 1 The teacher asks some students to pass infront and asks the rest of the class some questions about their physical appearance. Eg. Who is taller Pepe or Mario?

  • 21. HANDBOOK TOPIC : SHOULD/SHOULDN’T AND VOCABULARY RELATED TO AILMENTS LEVEL : ENGLISH II WRITEN BY: LIC. RAÚL ALEJANDRO MARTÍNEZ ARTEAGA DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA LANGUAGE TEACHING:
  • 22. Language teaching is the practice and theory of learning and teaching a language, it is also important to mention that Language Teaching process is the facilitation of learning, in which you can "teach" a foreign language successfully if, among other things, you know something about learns or fails to learn a second language. There are many methods and approaches for teaching a second language but the use of them depends on our students‟ needs and objectives. DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE: This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 7:00pm. This is a motivated group; most of the students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too. TOPICS: -The verb should (for giving advice) -Ailments AIMS OF THE LESSON: -To present and practice the verb “should” “shouldn‟t to ask for and give advice. -To present and practice vocabulary related to ailments. -To recognize the correct use of should or shouldn‟t according to the situation.
  • 23. PERSONAL AIMS: -To plan activities which can provide students the opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to real life experiences. -To create a positive learning environment by the use of different methods and approaches. -To enhance students participation through simulation and role-play. - To integrate the four skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking) in the lesson. -To make students learn and use the verb should (or shouldn‟t) to ask for and give advice. -To make students learn and use vocabulary related to ailments in context.

  • 24. PRESENTATION OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T PRACTICE OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T PRODUCTION OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T CLOSING CONCLUSION: By selecting and adapting different teaching methods and approaches it was easier to fulfill the lesson‟s objectives. Through role-play and other activities students had the opportunity to practice should and shouldn‟t and they were able to use vocabulary related to ailments in context. Due to this experience I consider it necessary to keep on track of new methods and teaching strategies in order to provide students with the necessary tools for a second language learning environment. SELF-EVALUATION It was a bit hard to choose the appropriate methods because I first had to check students‟ background, however I was able to achieve my goals and I think the lesson finally was a big succeeds because I was aware of everything surrounding my class as for example, materials, instructions, error correction, etc.
  • 25. LESSON PLAN (1 hour class) Warm-up The teacher will share a personal experience with students by telling them what ailment she/he once had.

  • 36. PRACTICE OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES PRODUCTION OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES IN CONTEXT CLOSING CONCLUSION Throughout the development of this lesson, students acquired knowledge of the use of comparative and superlative adjectives by performing different activities. The whole group was certainly motivated to learn because all the material and activities applied on this lesson were focused on different learning styles. So we as teachers must always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning results indeed. SELF-EVALUATION I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved. Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.
