Lesson breakdown
The contents of each lesson (except Activity,
Review and Test lessons) in All Together series is
mainly broken down into 4 parts: Warm up, Let’s
learn, Let’s practice and Review.

33
a. Warm up Back to
Contents

l Each class begins with key words and phrases presented in dialogs,
questions or chants with audio recordings to engage students’ interest.

34
☆ Teaching instruction 1 Back to
Contents

• According to Krashen’s Affective Filter

Hypothesis, negative emotional responses like
anxiety and boredom prevent efficient
processing of the language input. Therefore,
you can start the lesson with small talk about
their daily life or the related topics. Give a
brief self- introduction or play an English song
to build a relaxing and positive learning
environment.

• To better prepare students for further learning,

you can then lead them to read the
vocabularies and text, or ask questions
related to the topic. Illustrated language
points and dialogs of the lesson are given on
the Warm up pages. 35
b. Let’s learn Back to
Contents

• This is where the main content of the lesson is delivered. Language points
are either listed directly or integrated into sentences and paragraphs.

36
☆ Teaching instruction 2 Back to
Contents

• In the Let’s learn part, you need to

enunciate the vocabulary to show the
motions of your mouth/ tongue/
breath for students to imitate.

• It is advised to apply TPR (Total

Physical Response) to your teaching
to give orders and explanations to
students because physical activities
contribute to students’ active
participation and longer retention.

37
☆ TPR instructions Back to
Contents

Say Loud Look Listen Quiet

Yes / No Stop Yes / No 38

c. Let’s practice Back to
Contents

• Various learning tasks are provided to facilitate interactive teaching and

help students consolidate the vocabularies and language structures.

39
☆ Teaching instruction 3 Back to
Contents

Since the purpose of this part is reinforcement,

repetitive drills are necessary to ensure
effective learning. To avoid learning fatigue,
you can also use your own props, such as
printed pictures and toys, to keep students
focused and increase their interactivity.

In addition, you can model to

show students how to complete
a learning task when they have
difficulties understanding the
verbal instructions.
40
d. Review Back to
Contents

• At the end of each class, students are expected to recap what

they have learned in the class.

41
☆ Teaching instruction 4 Back to
Contents

• You can reward students with the virtual trophies

in ClassIn or your own props to give them
encouragement.

• It takes a bit longer for students of basic level to

respond, so please be patient and use your
smile, proper tone of voice and enthusiasm to
create a cordial learning atmosphere.

• Before finishing the lesson, you can give

comments with constructive advice on students’
learning performance and encourage them to
leave five-star reviews for this lesson.

42
☆ Teaching instruction 5 Back to
Contents

Giving Feedback
Constructive feedback
Knowing the learning aim of an activity and its link to learning outcome can guide your feedback.
For example, if the learning outcome is to use free time activity verbs, you can focus your feedback
on that. You can give positive feedback to students who use a variety of these verbs. Giving specific
suggestions for improvement is one way to make feedback constructive. For example, if a student
says I do many mistakes on my homework, you might correct by rephrasing: Why do you make those
mistakes? Another strategy is to write mistakes on the board and explain how to correct them.

When to give feedback

•Observe student work
During •Individual feedback on errors
• Whole class feedback
After • Focus on common errors
Knowing when to give feedback is as important as
knowing how to give it. One time to give
feedback is during an activity. If you notice errors
that might stop students from achieving the
learning outcome, you can give feedback to the
students making those errors. You can practice
with the student, and provide more feedback until
the student shows improvement. 43
☆ Teaching instruction 6 Back to
Contents

• The picture on the right shows Bloom's Taxonmy of

Congnitive Domain, which involves knowledge and
the development of intellectual skills.
• As you can see, among all the stages, teachers need
to play the lead role and provide help for the students
to find out some detailed information in the first two
stages.
• But as the students' language level goes up, you
should have the students take initiative and give them
more chances to apply and analyze the knowledge.
• One way that helps students of different levels
improve their thinking skills is to ask apporpriate follow-
up questions. Questions for each stage are listed for
your reference.
