INTRODUCTION
Learning English has become critical for all Vietnamese people in order to fulfill the
demands of today's industrialisation and modernization. As a result, it is critical for the
instructor to choose a teaching style that is appropriate for the pupils' level and age. To
achieve these needs, the ministry of education implemented several educational changes.
Assessment of schools and instructors makes a significant contribution to discovering
strategies to improve educational quality. As a result, this paper will analyze the
following major parts: (1) the analysis of the educational context, (2) the analysis of
learners' needs, and (3) the selection of courses and the formation of course goals,
objectives, and results, (4) building the course syllabus, and (5) forms of testing and
assessing learners.

1. Context analysis
a. An EFL teaching/ learning context
The setting I've chosen is a medium class in a language center with up to 15 pupils.
The ideal class size, in my opinion, would be no more than 15 pupils. The reason for this
is because if there are too many pupils in a class, the quality of the lecture suffers.
I will create a room with enough space for me to organize certain activities for pupils
in groups. The reason for this is that, in addition to sitting on their to do exercise, I'm very
interested in encouraging them to engage in some activities, some presentations, some
projects, and transfer information from the textbook to some activities such as completing
exercise in groups, testing through games, Kahoot,...
My classes will benefit from a learning and teaching environment that is
well-equipped with current amenities. For example, instead of the conventional method
of teaching, employing online images and online programs to teach pupils vocabulary or
grammar.
I normally urge my pupils to provide suggestions on how they would like me to
improve or organize the classroom. Their input helps me tweak and alter the classroom
environment and my teaching approaches.

guess what I'll learn in this lesson?" Next I asked the kids to write down what they
wanted the teacher to do for them while they were learning this lesson, as well as one or
two questions they wanted the instructor to answer when they were learning this unit.
Encouraging inquiries from the start communicates to your students that you want them
to actively participate in class work.It also teaches them that what they are learning must
be relevant and valuable to them. It is the most effective method of learning.
It is critical that the instructional strategies you employ assist pupils in connecting
with their learning. Real-life connections make studying more enjoyable and meaningful
for pupils. For example, when I presented Should/Shouldn't, I didn't follow the typical
practice of providing formulae and exercises for you to complete before reviewing your
answers. Instead, I will have students write on little pieces of paper about their concern,
and I will enable them to stay anonymous.

If there is no exam throughout the learning process, assess the student's learning to
determine whether the course is successful and reliable. Instead of only teaching,
learning, and testing, we might devise a number of methods to assess our students'
comprehension. For example, instead of the typical one-to-one method, I like to organize
vocabulary assessments by having the students play a game. I'll give you a definition or a
grammatical statement, and all you have to do is say true or untrue. This exercise allows
the kids to work alone or in groups. They will not feel pressured or afraid in this manner.
Additionally, I may offer them time to take exams, form assessments, occasionally paper
surveys, or develop individual or follow-up projects on a flexible basis. group. Also,

modify education to match the requirements of students based on evidence. Examine
students' progress in meeting academic requirements and goals. Actively include students
in assessment to foster continuous learning; and communicate student accomplishment to
students, parents, and others.

2. Learners’ needs analysis.
Needs assessment is a critical activity for setting program objectives and directing
research organizations. The goal of the analysis is to match techniques and materials to
needs and establish whether the design is in accordance with the planned learning
objectives. According to Nation and Macalister (2010), needs analysis is the process of
analyzing the existing status of learning from the learner's perspective.
To know what my students need, and understand how my students are, I conducted a
survey through a questionnaire (see appendix 8). After collecting and analyzing the data,
I can recognize some interesting information about my students (who are in grade 7 and
learn the textbook I-learn Smart world). The first interesting thing is that the grammar
topics they have to study will be designed based on the textbook program they study. In
general, they rated themselves as fairly familiar with structures related to the present
continuous, present simple, future simple and past simple. In contrast, they were weak in
adjective order (M=1.2), comparative equals (M=2.2) and comparative and adjective
pronouns (M=2.8). Meanwhile, words of indefinite quantity, prepositions of time,
possessive adjectives, Suggestive Sentences with Let's/ How about/ Should, Definitive
Articles, Have to, Words of quantity, they are relatively understood. and capture (Mean
from 3 to 3.6). After investigating my students' understanding of grammar topics, it will
help me to adjust the plan and time of teaching theory to have more time to help them
practice more through exercises and tests.

A social system is an interactive activity that takes place between teachers and
students (T-S interaction, S-T interaction) and between students (S-S interaction) in the
learning process, for example, it can be supported by teachers helping if students have
difficulty understanding grammar rules, receive motivation, clear instructions, and
feedback on their learning from teachers, and have the opportunity to use learned
grammar rules to talk to students. other students. Evaluation refers to any action taken to
gather information about a student's performance. Brindley (2001) points out that it can
take the form of a test or any type of activity or task given to students to assess learning
in a course. The highest point of students responding was; for teachers, as guides and
assessors of the learning process (M= 4.4); and for students, such as discussion, to ask
questions whenever there is a problem in the learning process. One might predict that this
outcome would come about because, one way or another, teachers often have these roles
in the classroom, as do students. Besides, students consider group work and learning to
be relatively necessary in the classroom and that assessment after each lesson, individual
and group work frequently and weekly is also necessary. (Mean from 3.1 to 4.1).

In the process of teaching and learning a new language, teachers will inevitably use an
approach or a learning method. In this needs analysis study, the methods or methods
included to be selected in the questionnaire were inductive and deductive methods
(Chalipa, 2013), story-based methods (Adair Hauck) and Donato, 2010), a product-based
approach. - text-based learning and competency-based learning, and process-based
approaches - content-based learning and task-based learning (Richards, 2005),
project-based learning ( Bender, 2012 cited in Amaros and dos Santos, 2018), and
problem-based learning (Ng Chin Leong, 2009). The highest choice score in the student
responses was đeuctive methods meaning that the teacher gives an explanation of the
grammar rules and then asks the students to do the grammar exercises in the textbook
(M=4.6), while the lowest score was for project-based learning that is a form of English
learning that requires learners to do a project, for example, make a video conversation in
English. . This result shows that students like to be taught through teachers’ speech. In
terms of test format, students feel that discrete tests involving a part of grammar, reading
9
and writing of a part of grammar, and finding and analyzing errors are quite necessary.
(Mean from 4.1 to 4.3). Perhaps, they feel a lack of confidence, confused when applying
grammar points to reading comprehension, writing, and speaking. Meanwhile, closed
tests such as sentence rewrite, sentence correction, sentence matching, open test with
sentence completion, sentence rewrite, achieved normal scores. (Mean from 3.3 to 3.8).
Doing more exercise is also important for them. Regarding teaching methods, most of the
students agreed that learning grammar through stories would be effective and necessary.
(M=4). Meanwhile, Text-based Learning, Task-based learning, Problem-based learning,
Content-based learning, are also quite necessary for teachers to conduct in class.

The support system of a model is the document or data that the teacher uses in the
learning process (Joyce, Weil & Calhoun, 2009) which can be in the form of syllabi,
lesson plans and learning materials. Students who need learning media or technology
commonly used in classroom teaching and learning, such as televisions, the Internet,
laptops, and laptop speakers receive the highest score (M=4.4). This means that students
need the process of learning a new language not only using chalk/pencil and blackboard
or whiteboard, but they also need modern technology for the learning process. This
technology can enhance the learning experience, providing more experience and
accessibility to the language being learned (Larsen-Freeman & Anderson, 2011).
Nevertheless, some students believe that textbooks still play an important role in the
classroom that I have to depend on so much for my course design and my lesson. At the
11
same time, the use of technology games designed on websites such as kahoot, quizizz,
ESL game is also necessary to be applied in grammar teaching to avoid boredom and
drowsiness for students. M=4.4). Besides learning through textbooks and workbooks, the
exercises are designed on handouts, and learning websites such as loigiaihay are also
considered important by them (M= 3.7 and 3.8).

3. The development of course objectives and learning outcomes
The results of the preceding sections' analyses of the teaching setting and learners'
requirements enable the instructor to properly define the course objectives and predict
what can be accomplished in the learning outcomes part. In this paper, I will discuss the
course objectives and learning outcomes that students in the grade 7 I-learn smart world
grammar speaking and writing course may attain.
To begin, course objectives are a promise made by course providers or lecturers.
Knowledge, cognitive (mental skills), psychomotor (physical skills), and emotional
domains are among the aims (attitude). These are the most important aspects of
competence. Hence, before beginning the course, I carefully outline the specific
objectives that students may attain in the grade 7 I-learn smart world course.
The state of being aware of something is referred to as knowledge. It is the processing
of information cognitively. It entails recalling, recognizing, comprehending, applying,
and evaluating facts, patterns, and concepts. The practical or theoretical grasp of a subject
is referred to as knowledge. One must first be aware of something before being
comfortable with it (for example, how to utilize it) and finally understanding how it
works. When we delve further into the hierarchy of different degrees of expertise, the
knowledge function becomes even more significant.
Skills, as they are now described, are merely one component in calculating
competence as an individual's capacity to (out) execute a particular activity. Skills are
commonly defined as the acquired ability to do certain activities with maximal precision
and efficiency within the constraints of a specific resource (e.g., time, energy).
Affective (attitude) is defined as "a reasonably stable arrangement of beliefs,
sentiments, and behavioral dispositions toward socially meaningful objects,
organizations, events, or symbols" (Hogg & Vaughan 2005, p. 150).
13
3.1. Course objective
After the course of English grammar grade 7, students will be able to fluently use
grammar in speaking and writing some topics which are in the textbook and master in the
examinations of Grade 7.
LO1 Identify and comprehend some grammar topics such as tenses, comparison,
suggestions structures, articles, and so on.
LO8 Simply describe himself, his surroundings, and matters of basic need.

4. The syllabus
The syllabus is usually the students' first true introduction to your course, welcoming
them with important information about what to anticipate from the course and what the
course could want from them. It may set the tone for the whole semester, and it is one of
the few "formal, concrete linkages between you and your student," as Jennifer Sinor and
Matt Kaplan (2010) point out. It can and should be more than just a sheet of paper stating
the fundamental course information, and it is therefore the ideal chance for you to
effectively prepare your students and set the foundation for success.
A syllabus serves various tasks in a course, including a course plan and learning
contract, a communication mechanism, and a learning aid. And those functions might
change based on the instructor's preferences and personality.
While the syllabus will undoubtedly differ between disciplines and courses, teachers
should endeavor to adjust their syllabus to the unique demands of the course, students,
and field. Yet, here are several characteristics that are common in most curricula:
Fundamental course information, Basic information about the teacher, Texts, readings,
and other resources A course overview or timetable, The course's expected learning
outcomes, Methods of evaluation, Factors for determining a grade, Policies for Courses
and Instructors delay and/or absence, Exams or assignments that were missed or turned in
late, Academic deception, Incivility in the classroom, Participation in class.
The syllabus will be a constant point of contact between you and your students, so the
more thinking you put into it up front, the more useful and beneficial it will be for
everyone. A properly-written syllabus may assist students have a better knowledge of the
course, as well as their responsibilities as students and teachers.
Based on the references for creating a syllabus, I plan my grammar for grade 7
I-learn Smart World course in detail as follows:

4.3.1. Formative assessment
According to Wiggins (1998), "the goal of formative assessment is primarily to teach
and enhance student performance, not simply to audit it" (p. 7). Formative assessment is
described as "actions conducted by instructors and students in self-evaluation that offer
information to be utilized as feedback to improve teaching and learning activities" (Black
& Wiliam, 2010, p. 82). As a result, formative assessment comprises a wide range of
technologies that give feedback to teachers or students in order to help them learn more
successfully. In addition to providing instructors with continual information about current
student comprehension so that teachers may alter instruction to enhance student learning,
Formative assessments are also used to generate interventions to increase student learning
(Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center, n.d). (Shepard, 2006; Stiggins,
1994).
You can rapidly build a culture of sharing that is devoid of worry or fear by giving
students a platform to speak and share their ideas and views on how things are going for
them in the classroom. Encouraging students to participate in this way on a regular basis
may help them overcome their worries of standing up and sharing their own thoughts,
which may be challenging for introverted or young pupils who lack the courage to
declare an inability to grasp something.
Ask and Answer, Role-play, Grammar Quick test, Mindmap/ poster will be employed
as formative assessments in this course. They will be described in detail as follows:
This kind of formative assessment will be used during all meetings of every unit in
the course with the aim of checking how much students can achieve. Teacher makes
questions and requests students to answer, then the teacher reflects on the way students
answer and gives more suggestions for students’ improvement.
29
What did you do yesterday?
Role-play:
The teacher sets the context and creates questions or discussion prompts. This kind of
formative assessment will be conducted in the meetings 4, 8, 12, 18, 22, 28, 32, 36, 42,
46, Speaking and Writing. Students engage in role-play activities by using grammar and
vocabulary from the lesson. The teacher can provide feedback on their language use and
social skills. (appendix 1)
Storytelling
Teacher gives each group of students a picture and they look at a picture and describe
the picture by making their story. After that, the teacher uses a jigsaw technique in order
that students exchange their story and make arrangements of the story. At the end,
students get their received information to retell the story by their own words, their
thinking. Students select some stories, and the storytellers or audience generate crucial
questions to push their peers. The instructor can assess their understanding and offer
comments on their language use. (see appendix 2)
This kind of test will be frequently used in meetings 3, 7, 11, 17, 21, 27, 31, 35, 41,
45. The teacher gives the students an exam at the conclusion of a class with only 15 to 20
multiple choices or fill in the blanks questions to see how much they know. Quizzes are
brief, content-specific examinations designed to provide information about student
learning and comprehension. They can immediately offer an instructor with information
regarding whether students grasped the class topic, which can then be used to guide
future classes. This quick, formative assessment tool is most useful at the end of the day
to get a complete picture of the classes’ learning that day. (see appendix 3)
30
Mindmap/ poster
Self-assessment
Students can use self-assessment to pause what they're doing and ask themselves,
"What am I getting out of this?" or "Have I truly learned anything from this class?"
Summative evaluation in this course will consist of two mid-term examinations and
two final exams. The midterm exam will be given at the end of unit 3 and 8. Students
31
have completed half of the course just to conclude the grammar in writing. The format of
the s test is identical to that of the actual exam designed based on the format of the
high-school test. The final exams including speaking, listening and grammar in writing
will take place after every five units of the course, and the material will be what students
study from unit 1 to unit 10. The teacher will grade the pupils' grammar abilities. These
two assessments will assist teachers in determining the precise levels of pupils' grammar
abilities. (see appendix 6 and 7)
32
CONCLUSION
The quality of students' learning in this grammar in writing and speaking I-learn smart
world 7 is heavily influenced by the teachers' teaching approaches. Teachers can refer to
the following commonly used assessment tasks to choose to include in periodic testing.
Furthermore, using proper evaluation forms at the correct moment would improve
students' learning efficiency, allowing teachers to accurately measure students' learning
capacity and assist students learn more successfully. Teachers will make more progress in
their students' studies and help them reach their goals in the final test. This also helps
teachers improve their teaching skills through student feedback at the conclusion of the
course.
