SELF-EVALUATION TASK TP 2: TASK SETTING

1. Were you able to successfully get the attention of the whole group? Yes/Sometimes/No

Yes

2. If yes, how did you achieve this? If not, what could you do to achieve this more successfully in
subsequent lessons?

I achieved it by telling them a personal story related to the topic .

3. Did you remember to handout materials AFTER setting up task?

Usually. But sometimes I forget or the material is difficult to use.

4. Did you have students “restrict access to text” while setting up tasks? (Having students fold paper to
reveal only one activity or having students turn papers over while tasks were being set).

Yes, while pre- teaching words I have them unseen until students can convey meaning.

5. Instruction checking questions (ICQs) are one way of checking to make sure that learners understand
what to do. Did you use these at any point? Were they effective?
Yes I use them after explaining the tasks. I think some of them were effective some others were
redundant.

6. Demonstrations or use of ‘demos’ not only help to set up task effectively, they also provide
contextualized transitions between various stages of your lesson. Which of the following types of
demos did you include in todays lesson?

a) Demonstrating an activity, yourself

b) Demonstrating an activity with a stronger learner
c) Doing the first example of an exercise together as a class
d) Showing how to do an exercise on the board

7. Rate your instructions giving today. Excellent/Reasonable/Needs work/Abysmal

Needs work but getting better.

8. Why do you think this was the case?

Because in this lesson I have some problems with time that I didn’t expected.

9. What 3 things could you do to improve your instructions?

a) give attention to time

b) improve my ICQ’s
c) make clearer and simple instructions
