Reflection

Were the lesson objectives / learning objectives realistic?

What did the learners learn today?

What was the learning atmosphere like?

Did my planned differentiation work well?

Did I stick to timings? What changes did I make from my plan and why?

Use the space below to reflect on your lesson. Answer the most relevant questions from the books on the left about your lesson.

I think the lesson objectives 1.L3, 1.S3, 1.R1 and 1.S6 were realistic.

Learners :

- recognized sounds and named only two letters of the alphabet;

-greeted one another using phrases: Hello. I’m ……. What is your name? My name is….;

- pronounced familiar words and expressions intelligibly;

The learning atmosphere was favourable. Out of 13 learners 3-4 were the most active 3-4 learners more active and 4-5 slow. By the end of the lesson some learners were not listening to the teacher’s instructions. Why? May be they were tired of the lesson. And adding that it was their first English lesson.

I think my differentiation worked well. I stuck to timings.

What changes did I make from my plan and why?

Firstly, I chose such interactive activities where learners were going around the classroom and talking to one another freely. Secondly, There were assessment criteria for the tasks.

Summary evaluation What two things went really well (consider both teaching and learning)? 1. When learners sang the song Hello with the help of the teacher and DANCED they were really happy! 2. They liked to make a circle and greet one another. What two things would have improved the lessons (consider both teachings and learning)?

1. So as to motivate those slow learners in the lesson it would be better to play games.

2. It would be better to use English when I explained them what to do during the lesson. Unfortunately I spoke more Kazakh and Russian and the least English. So using English with mimes and gestures would have improved the English lesson.
