Where am I going? What do I want students to be able to do at the end?How and what will I assess?

To reach your goals ask yourself what...

Plan the learning experience and instruction

...vocabulary themes are necessary?...language structures are necessary?...activities will provide opportunities to meet the goals? ...tasks will provide students with opportunities to use the language to accomplish a goal? (scaffolding )

Choose wisely, so that activities ...

Adapt or Adopt

• are motivating

• are balanced between individual response, pair work and group work.
• are manageable in the time allotted

• help learners to connect the learning experience in the classroom to their own life outside

• boost cooperative learning
• initiate meaningful communication
• provide learners with opportunities for free production
• are creative
• cater for different preferred learning styles

Choose wisely

What should it look like

• Authentic tasks create a bridge between what is learned in the classroom and why this knowledge is important to the world outside of the classroom.
• What kind of product should students produce? (Backward Design)

• Where would they work?

A student-centered learning environment. Students to determine what and how information is learned. This improves their self-assessment skills, responsibility, and meta-cognition (learning how they learn).
