Totale score: 5 op 5, 100% WELL DONE! 1.Which is NOT a task? In pairs, students practice a dialog.

Learners listen to a recorded conversation in order to answer some questions. Learners do a grammar exercise individually then compare answers in order to better understand how a particular item of language is formed. 1 op 1 GOOD! This isn't a task because there isnt a specific outcome. Students arent told the purpose for practicing the dialog. 2.A consideration I would NOT think about before a lesson would be to ___________. prepare questions to test students in case they dont pay attention get familiarized with the material and the activity read through the material and any teachers notes try the activity yourself 1 op 1 If you think that because of the topic or difficulty of the lesson your students might not pay attention, plan on ways how to prevent this from happening. Your lack of planning can be one of the reasons why your students don't pay attention in class. 3.Lead-in activities help _______________. generate interest in the topic and activate participants prior knowledge of the subject get the students to learn new vocabulary show how much the teacher knows about the topic 1 op 1 GOOD JOB! 4.It isnt advisable to __________when setting up an activity. give a clear demonstration of the activity give a long explanation on what to do check back to see if the instructions have been understood, e.g., So, Paul, what are you going to do? 1 op 1 PERFECT!

5.What is something you should do when running an activity?

Monitor at the start of the activity to see if the students are doing what you intended them to do. If you realize that the task is too difficult, change it right away.

Allow the students to work on the task, and intervene as much as possible. 1 op 1 PERFECT!

Totale score: 10 op 12, 83% WELL DONE! 1. It is not important to have a feedback session on the activity as part of the post-activity stage. Verdadero Falso 0 op 1 Sorry, that's not right. 2. Information gap tasks are tasks in which one person knows something that the other doesnt. Such gaps of information between people give us a need and desire to communicate with each other. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 WONDERFUL! 3. Elicitation is a much-used technique which a teacher uses to give students information they dont know. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 PERFECT! Elicitation is a much-used technique which a teacher uses to get learners to actively produce speech or writing. 4. Even when coursebook tasks include explicit instructions such as Compare answers with a partner or Work in pairs, the teacher can always have the option of giving a different organizational instruction depending on his/her context and other factors. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GOOD JOB! 5. After running an activity, the teacher should ask himself/herself if his/her students know enough language to be able to make a useful attempt at the activity. Verdadero

Falso 0 op 1 Sorry, that's not right. 6. During lead-in, the teacher organizes the students in pairs or groups so they can do the task. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 FANTASTIC! When the teacher sets up the task is when he/she organizes the students in pairs or groups. 7. Beware of burdening the students with unnecessary help when running the activity. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 PERFECT! Let the students take a chance and do the task without leaning on you. 8. As a post-activity, you can divide the board up into spaces for answers and have students fill the board up with their answers (each answer written by different students). Then the whole class looks at the finished board and comments or corrects. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GOOD! 9. An activity is a general term to describe what learners are required to do, using the target language, at any one stage in the course of a lesson, and can include anything from exercises and drills to tasks. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GOOD JOB! An activity can describe exercises and drills (where the focus is primarily on the forms of the language-grammar, lexis, pronunciation) to tasks (where the emphasis is on creating meaningful interaction or meaningful texts). 9a.Pairwork and groupwork are two forms of classroom interaction. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 WONDERFUL! 9b. A real-world or target task is a piece of classroom work focusing learners on, and involving learners in manipulating some aspect of the language.

Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 Yes, you're right. 9c.A language exercise is a piece of classroom work focusing learners on, and involving learners in manipulating some aspect of the language. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GREAT! An example of a language exercise is to "complete the sentences with words from a box", or "fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb"

Totale score: 8 op 8, 100% WELL DONE! 1. Intelligence is usually thought of as being a single, inborn capacity. But the theory of multiple intelligences (MI), as first proposed by Howard Gardner, views intelligence as being multi-dimensional. Proponents of this view have identified at least seven different kinds of intelligence that individuals posses in different strengths and combinations. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GOOD! Supporters of MI argue that learning is optimized when these different intelligences are engaged. One way of doing this is to vary the kinds of classroom activity so that no single intelligence is being targeted at the expense of others. 2. Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) is a theory about the way the mind processes experience and language. It is concerned with the brain (neuro-), language (linguistic), and learning (programming). Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 PERFECT! T NLP shares with the theory of multiple intelligences the view that the mind is predisposed to process experience in different ways (or modalities): through sight, smell, hearing, movement, touch and taste. According to NLP, individuals differ in the extent to which one or more of these modalities dominates. 3. A teacher should teach the whole class, and not take individual differences into account. Verdadero Falso

1 op 1 GOOD! A teacher should adapt class lessons to respond to many individual needs and differences within the group. 4. If you group the students by age in a class, you won't have a mixed-level class. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GREAT! Even though learners are the same age, some might be significantly stronger or weaker than others. 5. Needs analysis is the different ways of finding out (e.g., using questionnaires, interviews, etc,) what students need (or want) to study on a language course. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 FANTASTIC! Often a "Needs Analysis" includes not only information about why learners might need language in the future, but also information about: where learners are starting from: their present language level, current problems, etc. what learners would like to learn (which may be different from what they need) how they want to study it (people have very different preferences about how they learn things)

6. There is a productive learning environment when a teacher teaches and then gets feedback, and lets the feedback affect what he/she does or says. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 PERFECT! 7. Students should come to class knowing study skills like using of dictionaries,reference material, workbooks and notebooks. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GOOD! One of the teachers responsibilities is to raise student awareness about how they are learning and help them find more effective ways of working, so that they can continue working efficiently and usefully, even when theyre away from their

teacher and the classroom. 8.Learner training means raising students awareness about how they are learning and,helping them to find more effective ways of working. Verdadero Falso 1 op 1 GOOD! Learner training is very important so that learners can continue working efficiently, even when away from their teacher and the classroom.

Totale score: 6 op 6, 100% WELL DONE! 1. Which is NOT one of Gardners multiple intelligences? Linguistic Visual/spatial Musical Artistic Logical/mathematical Bodily/feeling Interpersonal (contact with other people) Intrapersonal (understanding oneself) 1 op 1 GOOD! Artistic ability is embedded in the Visual intelligence. Visual intelligence is defined as the ability to interpret information from visual sources such as pictures, maps and plans. Learners that have visual intelligence can solve complex puzzles and have good drawing skills. 2. Which is NOT a sensory preference? Auditory (people respond best to hearing things) Visual (people respond to seeing things) Kinaesthetic (people learn best when they can touch and feel tangible, physical objects) Musical

1 op 1 You're right. Musical isn't a sensory preference. It's a kind of intelligence. 3. Which is NOT one way of organizing students into levels? Using coursebook contents labelled into levels like: Advanced, PostIntermediate, Upper-Intermediate, Intermediate, Pre-Intermediate, Elementary, and Beginner. Classifying students according to the language they speak like: Spanish, French, Italian, etc. Categorizing students into levels according to frameworks like the Council of Europe: Breakthrough, Waystage, Threshold, Vantage, Operational proficiency, Mastery. Structuring class levels around exams that students take like: KET, PET, FCE, etc. 1 op 1 WONDERFUL! 4. When observing lessons, which teacher below would be the most successful? A teacher who notices and takes into account the needs and interests of the learners. A teacher who creates a physical and psychological distance between him/her and learners. A teacher who doesnt ask for opinions on course content, methods, etc. A teacher who doesnt deviate from his/her own plan or agenda. 1 op 1 SUPERB! 5. Which one is a consideration a teacher should keep in mind in relation to student feedback? One kind of feedback would be asking the students small questions like Which activity was most difficult for you today? Feedback helps only the teacher see if he/shes achieving the results he/she wants. Feedback is useful only when the teacher notices theres a problem with the class. 1 op 1 GOOD JOB! 6. What's one fact a teacher can't learn about a class at first glance?

the apparent age of learners how many students there are what the male/female ratio is how the students relate to each other how they are seated 1 op 1 GOOD! This fact is more intangible, and mostly based on the teachers interpretation of eye contact, body posture, comments overheard, etc.

Journal Entry #6 This weeks presentations were very demanding since each group had to support the purposes of the presented drills, activities, and exercises. This makes us bear in mind that lesson planning is very important and one of the most important reasons is the purpose of each activity. Each activity must have a purpose because: 1. It must give the students useful content to learn. 2. It must have a purpose since classes do not take that much time. As teachers, we must also learn how to use other resources and tools for teaching such as slides, dialogues, games, etc. Other important aspect learned this week was following the steps when making a class, because this helps students learn properly

Journal entry #7 This week was also about what was
