In this lesson, I was actually quite pleased with the results as my partner and I were working with limited time. This was the case due to us not knowing what was happening with the other teacher (responsible for sending students to the LLC). However, we tried our best to work with what we had online. I commend my partner for going along with me in another team-teach session. Although time was cut-short by 5-10 minutes, we basically got most of what we planned. It was another week of only a few students. Although we were hoping for more students for our breakout rooms activity, we only had a few individuals. Keeping it professional and time-friendly, we just proceeded the activity with the four students.

Overall, the flow went well, but there were over-occurring reminders that should be noted and corrected over time. Firstly, limiting the spoken words. It is not seen as a negative for a teacher to be talkative, but a teacher must understand the group that he/she is working with at the moment. For example, the level of learners was well beyond a level 4 or intermediate level, you might not want to restraint too much on word choices. However, when they were below level 4, you might need to limit. Learners especially those in L2, needed familiarity with words, and so restrain from colloquial and idioms Additionally, formulate shorter and less complex sentences is more ideal. Takeaway: Keep it realistic

Although, it was quite similar to the last lesson, there’s only a few more points for considerations:

No matter the competency level, students need to be responsible for their learning. This meant they discuss and ask each other the questions on the slides. Doing so, students may adhere a bit more to the lesson. Perhaps, adjust the content to be more creative. Instead of asking what they have done, ask them how they felt about the issue/topic? That way they will always create interest and variety. Takeaway: Leniency
