Description

Task 1

Think about your own personality traits. What are the top five characteristics you have that will make you a good teacher? Please briefly explain your reasons.

Maximum 120 words.

Task 2

Write a short outline of a PPP lesson plan for elementary level to teach the present continuous to describe things happening now to elementary level students – for example “he is walking”, “they are reading”, “we are listening” to music etc.

Give a broad outline of the main stages involved and mention the activities you would include.Here are the stages you will need to follow – make sure you include a couple of examples of the TL (target language) at each stage:

1. Lead-in

Use this to set the scene about the topic and review useful language you will need for when you intro the new TL. NOTE: do not use this to teach the TL. Remember not to teach anything here.

2. Presentation

This is where you teach the TL. Remember to elicit meaning and teach pronunciation before the form. We must also find a way for students to “discover” meaning, and don’t simply tell them meaning.

3. Practice (controlled)

Here briefly explain how to practise the TL in a controlled manner – you can use gap fills, word jumbles, picture to word matches, sentence correction, etc.

4. Production (free)

Finally, briefly explain how to practise the TL in a freer manner, for example a role play, a discussion, pairs doing a descriptive activity etc.

Now it’s your turn. Complete a lesson plan to teach the present continuous to describe things happening now – e.g. they are swimming, he’s reading the paper. Don’t forget to include some examples of the TL in each activity. Use our sample table below to help you.

Maximum 250 words.

Example lesson plan


The above is an example plan with the TL of there is/are. However, in this assignment, you need to use the same PPP structure, but a different TL: the present continuous for actions happening now.

The lesson plan on the present continuous for actions happening now.
Here are the main reasons why students are asked to redo this assignment, so it’s worth using this as a checklist before you submit for marking:

Lead-in:

  • Using the TL and or present participles like ‘running’, dancing, etc’. These students don’t know this yet. They only know the present simple, so best to find a way to get students practising this as revision. You need to make sure they understand this tense before moving on to the new TL.
  • Not getting the students speaking and engaging in English.

Presentation:

  • Explaining the meaning of the new TL rather than providing a way for the students to discover it.
  • Not saying how you elicit the meaning and the form of the TL. You also need to write the actual form of the TL, so we know you know it.
  • Not teaching the pronunciation.
  • Focusing on the present continuous for the future.

Practice (controlled):

  • Providing a free activity rather than controlled, which are gap fills, jumbled sentences, matching, etc.

Production (free):

  • Providing a controlled activity rather than a free one, which are debates, role plays, etc. A free activity needs to be a real-life situation that corners the students into using the TL in a natural way. If you have to ask the students to use the TL, then the situation is not specific enough.
  • Asking students to talk about what they ‘like doing’ because this is not the TL.
  • Charades/miming is controlled not free. That’s because it focuses on accuracy over fluency rather than the other way round.

Task 1
Different character traits would make me a good teacher. Empathy is one trait that would
enhance my teaching skills, and this is because of my ability to engage students and improve
their learning and understanding of their situations. Patience is another trait that would enhance
my learning skills and this ability to take time to understand the needs of the students.
Adaptability is another character trait that would improve my teaching, and it includes working
in a constantly evolving setting and adjusting to new teaching methods (Sadikov, 2021). Good
listening is another skill that would enhance my role as a teacher. This includes paying attention
