Assignment B

Please read the information below before looking at the instructions for this assignment.
The reputation of this qualification is dependent on our students' academic integrity. The TEFL
Academy does not tolerate plagiarism, nor the use of third parties, electronically or otherwise, to
produce your assignments.
Work submitted for the assignments must be your own. If you are found to have sourced your
work from elsewhere, your enrolment will be cancelled without refund and you will not receive a
certificate.
While the lesson plan must be your own work, it is permissible for you to include language
teaching activities that you have found or adapted from elsewhere, providing they are properly
referenced. See 'Referencing' for information on how to present references.
Your work should demonstrate your understanding of what you have learned on this course. Your
lesson plan should employ appropriate use of the techniques, procedures and teaching principles
described in the units.
We appreciate that some students study this course with a friend, and indeed would encourage
you to work in this way. However, assignments must be produced entirely independently.
If we receive two assignments that are the same or share some of the same content, we will return
them and ask you to submit a completely new assignment.

Introduction
To complete the course successfully you are required to complete and pass three assignments as
well as the end of unit tests. Your assignments will be marked by a course assessor.
When Assignment B has been marked, you'll receive feedback from the TEFL Academy and a
grade if you have passed.
You can continue with the online course while you are working on an assignment, but you must
pass each assignment before you can submit the following one.
Please allow five full working days after the day you submit your assignment for your work to be
graded. This means an assignment submitted on Monday will normally be returned on Tuesday of
the following week. (However, please be aware that marking may take longer during busy
periods). You need to figure this into your course time.
This assignment is designed to help you revise and consolidate what you have learned so far. We
strongly recommend that you start work on it now, rather than leaving all the assignments until the
end of the course.
Please be aware that if you have not completed all three assignments and allowed sufficient time
for marking within your six months, you will need to apply for an extension.
You need to pass all the assessment criteria to pass. If you do not pass every criteria you will be
asked to resubmit.

The average mark of your three assignments will determine your final grade.

2. Read Unit 7. There is also a short section on PPP in Unit 6
3. Research the target language: First conditional to talk about events that are likely to happen.
There is some information on conditional forms in unit 7, but you will need to look at it in further
depth and reference your sources.
