Competency A – Commitment to the Profession:

You continue to demonstrate very satisfactory commitment to the professional. The very
good rapport you have with the learners and your MST is serving you very well. The
learning environment was positive and very conducive for learning. I continue to be very
encouraged by the participation of your MST in providing scaffolding during the paired
and final individual activity.

Category B – Planning for Learning:

A satisfactory lesson plan was forwarded in time before the lesson. The learning outcomes
were clear and expressed in demonstrable behavioural terms. You also continue to
demonstrate careful planning.

Category C – Implementing and Managing Learning:

The learners were promptly engaged in a quick review of a previously covered story – The
Little Ant – the learners did very well answering the surface “Wh” eliciting the characters,
setting, and plot. Then the class were engaged in a teacher led class discussion of the
basic verb form in the past tense – the examples from the story worked very well.
Interesting that the learners could not provide the past form of “go” – this was a good
opportunity to present the case of irregular verbs in English. The activity involving the
learners providing the past and present forms of target words – the learners did very well.
It was also very good that learners were given the opportunity to come up to board and
complete the target verbs. The follow-up activity was completed in pairs – getting
learners to write sentences was a good idea. Modelling the correct way to construct a
narrative sentence. Then the learners completed an individual task – unscrambling and
reordering sentences.

Category D – Monitoring and Assessment of Learning:

You continue to use Q & A very efficiently and effectively to elicit desired responses from
the learners. You also continue to do very well calling on individual learners by name and
acknowledging responses with positive comments.

Category E – Reflection:

You did very well acting on previous advice to include some writing practice. You were
also spot on about the need to include more oral practice of the target structure. Keep on
engaging in critical self-appraisal to fine tune your practice.

Strengths of the Lesson:

The main strengths of this lesson were: Excellent learner engagement, very good rapport
with the learners, and very efficient use of Q & A.

Areas for Development:

Continue working on ensuring that you give a solid model to avoid fossilization of teacher
errors by the learners. For example, pay particular attention to: 1) Grammar: “Peer” for
“pair”; 2) Pronunciation: Autumn → /otom/ for /autam/.

Focus for next lesson

You should continue allowing for more individual writing activities for practice.
