Analyse the information in the class summary. What are your learners’ strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths: Based on the class level, most of the students are good and competent users of reading and writing (band 7
grade). Which means:
• Most students have capable/advanced control with few errors in reading and writing.

challenging arguments in reading and writing.

Which two skills have you chosen to teach in this lesson? Why? (minimum 150 words)
• Speaking
• Listening
I have chosen to teach these two skills because they are the two areas that need improving the most. Both these skills
have an important role in the daily life of all students especially because most of the students want to improve in career
prospects or have a career in English speaking countries. To achieve this student’s need to be able to sustain effective
1
, communicative and cognitive skills. Minimizing the listening and comprehension problems experienced by language
students will help them achieve the required band and their career goals. Students need to be able to listen effectively so
that messages are not misunderstood. Listening and speaking will allow students to understand the other person’s point of
view, understand what is being said and give them the opportunity to speak/talk more and have general conversations
without difficulty.
Which lesson topic have you chosen? Why? (minimum 100 words)
Health and fitness
I chose this lesson topic because there are benefits to combining both fitness and language learning. These are benefits
such as:
• Better retention and overall positive feelings after lessons.
• Kinesthetic learning helps students pair movements to words and phrases.
• Over time, helps them to better remember the lessons.
• Increase interest in the lessons.
Furthermore, health and fitness has been a trending topic (i.e., COVID-19) with a great deal of information that will help
students have the knowledge and vocabulary to talk about health issues, discuss opinions and ideas and help dissect and
understand facts. Additionally, the lesson will be relevant to student (Ana) who wants to be a nurse in the UK.
