Comments

  • The basic format of the lesson seems to be fixed nowadays, though I keep using various activities in the lesson. Students seem to be actively participating in my lesson, so I am somehow satisfied with the present situation.
  • I believe that the explanation at 12:27-12:43 is not so important in terms of communicativeness. Yet the result of the two questionnaires has shown that the explanation is students' strong need.
  • I want to include the listening activity in the lesson, but I do not know how.
