Reflect critically on my learning process in order to make objective decisions that positively affect such process. The practical session is prepared in advance and instructions are followed. Pedagogical Competences on development: Design lesson plans in which I show clear understanding and use of concepts and terminology involved in English Language Teaching. Become familiar with materials and resources used for ELT and develop critical skills to evaluate demands and design according to the target population. Develop ability to adapt resources with current and authentic input, taking advantage of the ICTs. Develop ability to adapt and create challenging and interesting tasks, articulating theory, and learners interest.

Professional development course Teacher: Humberto Uchima. Topic: Guidelines for Practical session two. April 8th 2014 Teacher to be: Become aware of the importance of aspects such as learners needs, monitoring, giving feedback and evaluating learners progress by the time of planning and implementing a lesson. Understand the relevance of including effective learning strategies when planning lessons and designing tasks. Develop ability to adapt resources with current and authentic input. Develop ability to adapt or create challenging tasks, articulating theory, and considering the target population. Become familiar with the communicative competence involved in the context of my professional practice. Skills involved in this session: Listening, speaking and pronunciation. Aim: By the end of the practical session, learners will be able to identify and implement lessons and tasks for listening and speaking regarding the communicative competence, task design, materials, demands, support, procedures, etc. TASK: Design a practical activity focused on listening or speaking for primary school students whose proficiency level is A1 (3rd to 4th grade). The activity must last from 5 to 6 minutes. For such activity, make also emphasis on pronunciation, stress and intonation) YOU MUST BRING THE LESSON PLAN IN HARD COPY. See the criteria below to know the aspects considered for the assessment of this practical session.

The topic selected is appropriate for the target population (primary school students) and the level (A1). The lesson includes all the elements required (learning aim, communicative competence, assume knowledge, materials, procedures, et.) The three elements of the communicative competence (linguistic, socio linguistic, pragmatic) are clearly stated and identified throughout the lesson. The learning aim is well written and achievable.

Name: Strengths

Grade:________ Things to improve

The lesson follows a clear sequence of procedures as well as the task (ESA). In addition, such procedures and task are aligned with the main aim. The task meets the needs of the target population. In addition, cognitive and language demands as well as support are appropriate. Learners are prepared for the listening or the speaking. The input received and the implementations allow Ss to produce. Some classroom management strategies are used (monitoring, giving feedback, grouping, elicitation, checking for understanding, giving instructions). Language is presented in context. The use of display and referential questions is appropriate for the different stages of the task. At the end, learners reflect on what they can do after the lesson.
