Cambridge DELTA Lesson Evaluation PA 3

The lesson aimed to teach listening techniques but some vocabulary was too challenging for the new students. While the class provided positive feedback, the teacher identified several weaknesses: the aims were too high, the listening was long and unclear, and timing was too short. For future lessons, the teacher will set more realistic aims, edit listening to be shorter, pilot tasks, improve language monitoring, and allow more flexible timing. Strengths included flexibility in adapting the lesson and a positive learning environment with no pressure on weaker students. The overall aims of teaching listening techniques were achieved as evident from subsequent lessons.

Liz Camilleri PA3: Lesson evaluation

General reflections

The lesson was very successful despite the overall problems with the lesson planning
stage. I had prepared the lesson for a class which included students who were very strong
pre-intermediates, therefore some of the vocabulary was quite challenging for the new
students. The class however, all gave very positive feedback, saying that they felt much
more confident thanks to the techniques presented for tackling listening both in and out of
the classroom. They also showed evidence of understanding by completing the
worksheets appropriately and bringing up relevant points during the discussion.

Strengths

• Flexibility: Everyone followed and participated in the lesson and it progressed


smoothly. I omitted tasks which were not essential and made sure that by the end
of the class all students identified and discussed listening skills and strategies.

• Positive learning environment: There was a relaxed atmosphere in class and


since I did not ask any one specific student for an answer, there was no pressure
on the weaker students even though the tasks were challenging.

Aims: Overall, I felt my lesson aims were achieved. This was evident by the students
completing the tasks set and using the techniques in class during the following
lessons.
