Remarks (Comments and Recommendations)For planning and evaluation it is very important understand the institutional context for teaching activities, because trainers must be familiar with the programs because in this way they can plan their classes and at the same time evaluate the in a very professional way. The teacher must know the aims of the programs and the specific objectives as well as the general ones.

Remarks

Susan’s “Planning and Evaluation” dossier presents a project. This is a series of integrated lessons - the last three lessons of the summer term - which lead up through organising and planning a menu to the learners and Susan cooking and eating a meal together - in English - as the finale. Well done!

The individual lesson plans have clearly defined and appropriate aims and materials, but are obviously part of a whole. Vocabulary, for example, that students met in previous lessons is revised in the classroom and actually used in a real-life situation in lesson 3.

Susan refers to the weak points in her reflection on page 5 and says that she was dissatisfied with herself with having covered only one exercise in the textbook. I disagree with her - she covered the correct exercise for the project, and also selected and ordered appropriate materials, tasks and activities to achieve her aims. The learners are much more likely to be able to use the language they met and used on this project than any of the language they met and used from the many exercises completed in their course book!

An excellent dossier.

Compared to the original

I think that when our lessons are well planned and they have the right structures, the correct grammar exercise, and the scheduled time, our lesson is a success because all the elements are forming a complete whole. All the elements involved in the correct way makes the class carry out all the objectives planned when it started. If your lessons are well planned, all your students will be happgy with you and with the class.
