Look at the lesson plan below and comment on: • the structure of the lesson • the interaction • TTT vs STT • potential weaknesses / strengths (Please write a minimum of 150 words)
Note: this is not a model lesson plan.
Objective: To teach students terms/acronyms commonly used in business e-mails. Group level: Intermediate Lesson length: 45 mins Target language: Terminology used in e-mail writing (eg. FYI, RE. , pix, Thx, docs, ASAP, enc., etc. ) Anticipated problems: Students may have difficulties memorising the new terminology/acronyms. Solution: Ask them to memorise all the words.
