move around. One student, Alex, has some behavioural issues and may require
extra support, possibly due to an attention deficit disorder.

activities. I am not that familiar with the grammar concept and learners may
Risks/constraints:
ask difficult questions. I plan to be prepared with adequate research to be able
to speak confidently about the present simple tense including using the

Instructions to Observers
Thank you for assisting with the observation of TESOL students. The Observer Report you complete
will be submitted by the student with their coursework and will form a part of their assessment.
The feedback process is open and transparent. You don’t need to hide your notes from the student.
It is important that you:

1. Complete the Observer Report in full


2. Sign the observer report, and
3. Return it to the student immediately after the lesson.

The student will need this report to pass their course.

Completing the observer report:

The observer report has 3 main sections:

Checklists:

Each item in each the checklist must be ticked. There are 4 possible results:

3 Excellent The student demonstrated the item to a high standard

2 Good The student demonstrated the item to a satisfactory standard, but there
may be room to improve
1 Needs The student did not demonstrate the item to a satisfactory standard
improvemen
t
N/A Not The student was not required to demonstrate the skill during this lesson.
Applicable

Other feedback:

Write notes for the student on what they did well and what they can do to improve. A good guide is
to identify 3 main strengths and 3 main areas for improvement. If there is not enough space, or if
you want to provide more detailed feedback, you can make more notes on a separate sheet and
attach it to the report.

You should also take 5-10 minutes after the lesson to discuss your feedback with the student and
offer your constructive advice.

Observer’s declaration:

You can mark the student as Satisfactory overall if; you have been able to mark most of their
demonstrated skills as 2 or 3 and; they made a reasonable attempt to prepare and present their
lesson to a high professional standard.

Please sign and date the report and give it to the student immediately after the lesson. Include your
contact details. Please note that AVSE routinely contacts observers at random to verify the
authenticity of observer reports.
