I feel my ability to write and prepare lesson plans has majorly improved. Prior to this course, my lesson plans were very rough and did not include timing of the activities. I also did not always have a thorough balance in my lessons between different types of activities. I had no lesson models to follow, like ESA, patchwork, or boomerang. I’ve also gained a great deal of knowledge about the english language. This can allow me to more confidently and clearly explain differences in language points. Going forward, I will use the lesson plan template provided in this course. I will be sure to follow a lesson plan model as that helps ensure that all the necessary parts are included in the lesson. My lessons prior to this course had a great deal of engage and activate portions, but perhaps not enough study. This course has given me a lot of practice in explaining things to low level students, whether on the worksheets or to myself as the language points are studied. Being able to explain to low level students is a base for explaining to all levels going up. A lot of classroom management techniques I hadn’t thought of were discussed in the course, which will leave me prepared for when they arise in the classroom. I really have gained confidence in my ability to come to class with a solid lesson.
