any life quotes.

The language of the t was clear and concise and easy to follow. Instructions were clear and Ss found it easy to follow.

Are instructions to tasks and activities clear? Do learners seem to know what to do? Give
examples.
Read quotes a- f and answer the questions slide: Maybe she could have given each learner the chance to read out the sentences and then
they would do the set task.
I like it when t asked the Ss if they know the answer to a question that a student asked. She involved the Ss to try and provide feedback first
before giving the answer straight away.
During the audio task maybe it would have been better to stop at each audio and choose the answer first then move on to the next audio.
T had a moment where she lost her train of thought, but she was able to get on top of it and organize the break out rooms well.

T provided feedback after the learner’s answers from the task before moving on to the next task.
During the audio task, once learners have given their answers, T gives feedback.
