  • "A needs based approach to content selection" - What does this mean?
  • What are "outcomes"? What are the different types of outcomes, for example with tasks and exercises?
  • What are the different types of tasks? What are the strong and weak versions of CLT? How do they differ?

Homework task for Week 7 (October 19)
​Bring authentic materials
The Week 5 reading talked about authentic materials and language input. For homework, find one authentic reading (pdf) and one authentic listening material online. 
  • The reading material can be found by searching Google for key words such as “zoo brochure pdf” or “salad recipe pdf” or “exercise routine pdf”.
  • The listening material can be a YouTube video. It should be authentic (not designed for language learning) and less than 4 minutes in length.
For each input material, think about the type of learners, the language content of the material, the vocabulary, what kind of tasks you could do with the material, and how you would plan a lesson. Be ready to share next class.​
Homework for Week 8 (October 26)
Prepare a short speaking activity to demonstrate in small groups.
The speaking activity does not need a lot of scaffolding. It can be for any age group or level. Any materials can be used. Think carefully about your instructions. Be prepared to do your activity in class.
Homework for Week 9 (November 2)
Watch the following 2 videos on my Youtube channel. The first is about planning activities. The second is about sequencing activities into a lesson structure.

Homework for Week 10 (November 9)
​Start thinking and planning a speaking lesson plan. The lesson should have at least one speaking activity. Consider target language, warm up steps + scaffolding.
  • Low level students: follow EIF with scaffolding steps.

​Bring your ideas for discussion next week.
