Up next: Beyond the lesson plan
Common issues ALTs face & What to do
- a thinking skill
- evidence you thought about it
- a reminder of your pre lesson thoughts
- Simplification, Organization, Anticipation, Prediction
オOnce you start teaching
ask yourself these 3 questions...
KEY TAKEWAY
1) What are the aims of the lesson?
2)What is my procedure?
( What sequence of task and activities will I use?)
Think about your favorite
HS teachers/ language teachers.
What things worked in their classes, what things would you adopt?
Prepare like no other.
But during class, teach the learners, not the plan.
1) What's your conception of teaching/learning?
2) How do you teach it?
3) Why do you teach it that way?
Your teaching philosophy should be
student-centered !
