After the Christmas break Jade invited me to observe a lesson that she taught in a private English School in Hove. JADE STIPULATED IN ADVANCE THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDING A LESSON PLAN. I observed a General English Advanced class with two Spanish speakers, one French speaker and one Korean speaker. Jade was teaching six different phrases and encouraged the students to examine the construction and word class within the each phrase. When the students clearly understood the phrases Jade had organised a running dictation with the expressions included. On completion of the running dictation Jade encouraged the students to use the expressions whilst speaking at a natural pace and with natural intonation. Thanks Jade.
The scan above shows the phrases that Jade used for her exercises: A word class exercise, a running dictation, choral and individual drilling and a short speaking exercise.
