Hello once more.

In my next blog entries I will be sharing experiences from the Advanced level classroom. Action, reflection and making adjustments are steps which are very helpful when it comes to improving lesson planning. I have got a MAC 3 group and they are very reluctant to use their lexical books. Therefore I will try new ways to encourage the usage of such by pointing out the real value of it. For this I will use the test- teach - test approach, that is I will ask my sts to do a task, record it on the board and have them do a similar task by the end of the lesson and record it on the board. I will enable the sts to notice the sophistication of their production after having been exposed and lexical books will have helped them to do so. By doing so I hope to reassure sts of the necessity and value of their lexical books. ;)
I will ask sts feedback on these lessons and record their feedback in the next blog entry.
That's all for now.
