Creating your session- steps

No fixed rule
Everyone does different things
1) chose topic
2) decide what approach - P to T / T to P
3) What input type will you use in the session  to provide the info for the session?
4) Task type - reading / audio etc.
5) Write some stuff - use the lesson plan template on the course
6) Use the evaluation checklist to check which bits haven't been completed
7) Chose a title to think about / can come at the end

theory to practice and practice to theory

One went from theory to practice and the other vice-versa

Theory to practice - Some people want it that way, get the overall picture and then work, good for new teachers

Practice to theory - some are concrete thinkers - they make their theories from practical examples rather than applying them.

The level of teachers’ knowledge and experience can also help the trainer to decide. Teachers who know little about a topic might benefit from some input which they can then apply to practical content. More experienced teachers benefit from putting what they know into practice first, and then discussing the principles of their practice.

3.4- oral feedback

But in terms of how does it - what does it actually look like, an oral feedback session? Who sits where? Who does the talking? Are there questions asked? Is there any writing to do? Are there any resources used? In terms of giving one-one feedback.

Types of inputs for use with teachers

Types of input for use with teachers

1. Live classroom teaching (Teachers sit in on a real lesson and discuss it afterward.)

2. Micro-teaching (Teachers practice a specific teaching technique or techniques by teaching a small group of peers on their course. They receive detailed feedback from the trainer and from their peers.)
