Apologies for submitting this assignment late.

Apologies for submitting this assignment late. The attached lesson plan is for B2/C1 Business English learners. It is designed for 60 minute 1-2-1 Skype class. I removed one paragraph from the original article to make it shorter. When I did the vocab profiling, almost 20% of the words were 'off-list'. Many of these were the more interesting business/marketing words and this vocabulary would be crucial to having a good understanding of, and ability to discuss the topic, hence I believe this article would be most suited to higher level learners than the profile results would suggest. I would use an interactive whiteboard throughout the lesson to illustrate the grammar points/lexis that are the focus of the lesson.

Dear all

Dear all,

I think that I might be among the ones to submit my assignment so late. So sorry about that but I have been under great pressure for a while and I went through a very stressful period of time due to my Master degree exams. Thankfully all went well. This task is designed to cover the needs of a refugee learners as well as to promote multiculturalism and inclusion.

WEEK 2 Assignment

WEEK 2 Assignment

In my long career as a teacher I’ve always enjoyed the fascinating faces of the youngest of students when they realise that they can identify words they know, in texts that seem far beyond their understanding.

The following technique occured to me when I noticed that some very beginner students used to open books they found in the classroom, such as higher level students’ books, readers and even newspapers and magazines and try to spot words they already knew.

What an inspiration for me! I certainly adopted it in my teaching and we’ve always enjoyed it since it’s a boost of motivation for students to study more and a magic time for the teacher to observe the children’s mind making marvellous correllations in order to find meaning in L2.

I’d like to mention that the lower the level of the students, the better. And if you really want to enjoy the procedure, try it with very young children who feel free to express their enthusiasm!

Note: I wish I knew about the profiler earlier! It would have saved me hours of work! Now the teacher knows the vocabulary they can work with and can adapt the exercises and activities according to the level of their particular students.

Please feel free to comment. I'd most appreciate it.

If there's one insight I've got from this course, it's that I'm really quite duplicitous in demanding that my learners and trainees submit their assignments on time while I can't seem to submit anything on time.

For what it's worth, here's my second assignment. It's organized in this way:
1. Handout
2. Trainer notes
3. Overview (with my rationale)

The materials are for teachers in a teacher-training context and I reckon the text is authentic within their context.

To see the text, you need to go to https://storyweaver.org.in/stories/1281-it-s-all-the-cat-s-fault. I

Hi Everyone! I'm awfully late with the assignments, July has been a hectic month!

Hi Everyone! I'm awfully late with the assignments, July has been a hectic month!
I prepared a lesson based on a text about Vincent van Gogh which I found in a book that I love - "The Paintings that Revoultionized Art" - and on his paintings. I've been meaning to use this book to develop ELT materials since I bought, over a year ago.
At first, I wanted to keep the worksheet simple, but I ended up creating something longer than I had planned.
One important thing to me was to include a note about how teachers should be careful when dealing with sensitive mental health issues in class.
All in all, I'm happy with the final result. Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists and I have a print of "The Starry Night" in my dining room.

I have attached my week two assignment. Using the vocabulqry profiler, the text should be aimed for pre-intermediate and intermediate students. To evaluate students² understanding of the text they are given numbers. They need to look back at the text in order to tell the significqnce of these numbers.

I have chosen to use this text with my FCE and CAE students. In order to grqde it to their level I have designed a gapped text activity, which many of the students at this level find it chalenging. Students also have to identify the writer²s attitude and practise agreeing and disagreeing with his ideas. The objective of this activity is to encourage students to extract ideas from a text and use them in speaking especially part three (in both FCE and CAE) where they have to prctise agreeing and disagreeing with another exam candidate

I still owed you my week 2 assignment.

I still owed you my week 2 assignment. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully, some of you can still have a look and let me know what they think.
My materials are based on an excerpt from "Pollyanna" by Eleanor H. Porter - a lovely story to discuss with your Ss.
Only because of the language level of the original story, I put the level up to C2 (and age up to 16). If you have access to a simpler version, you can absolutely use my materials with younger Ss at a lower level, as well.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone,
Here's my assignment for week 2. This is a lesson I had created for a lower secondary B1+ class.

Stranger Things was all they were talking about at one point, so I decided to use that to my advantage. I made some changes to make it more suitable for this assignment.
Your feedback would be much appreciated.

Oh dear.

Oh dear. Just finished the Week 2 Assignment today. Why? My concept of authentic text is very broad! I scrolled through the posts here and committed to a news article. Usually when I need to make a homework assignment, it's done in a rush. This time I took the opportunity to "mine" the text for potential grammar and vocabulary targets before settling on the ones included. Picture shown of what that looked like.
I wanted to make a Google Form out of it since that's what I use to assign homework to students, but ran into the typical obstacle that working in a paper-less school poses: the question types would have to be modified to fit into the limited range of options digital platforms offer. Anyway, hope you enjoy reading about bringing icebergs to the desert!

Hi everyone.

Hi everyone. This is my week 2 assignment. This is for an intermediate level English for Science class. The lesson was related to an article about Cape Town and how it may be the first major city to run out of water ("Day Zero"). Day Zero was supposed to have happened two months ago, but since the original lesson, they have postponed it to next year. So, I have had to update some of the materials for this particular lesson.

Greetings!

Greetings!

This material is developed for A2 and B3 students. It's adapted from BBC Food website. Yummy!

Authentic song

Authentic song
The phonics song by kidstv123
Viewed over 53 million times
Data says- children love it and teachers use it.

https://youtu.be/BELlZKpi1Zs
So, as a materials developer, I redesigned the pictures.
Why?
Because I know children will like and teachers will use it.
Plus the song is something I can’t recreate and it has already been created.

Hello, everybody.

Hello, everybody.

This is my assignment for Week 2. Sorry for sharing it so late, but the last few days have been very busy for me. It's a worksheet for B2 students on an article from TimeOut London magazine (actually it's taken from the website - you can find all the links in my notes). I use magazines very often when I teach and I especially like TimeOut as I use it a lot to create decision making activities (what events/films to choose etc.) Here, I tried to deal with challenging vocabulary and introduce students to authentic magazine-style writing and language. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your feedback!
