A friend of mine is interviewing w/them this month. He's concerned about the lesson plans he must create.

Advice? Ideas?

Thanks.

For NOVA you dont have to prepare anything.

OK, if my hazy memory serves me right a basic idiot proof Aeon lesson goes something like this:

Teaching Point - "What do you do?"

i) Warm up (a silly game to get everyone into English, any drinking game is fine)

ii) Listening (a brief tick the box test)

iii) Drills - this is the teaching point: 'I am a ____.' Followed by 'Doctor', 'Student', 'Office worker' etc.

iv) Conversation - listen to a pre-recorded conversation, something like:

a. What do you do?

b. I'm a student.

a. Wow, that's great.

Then repeat it in pairs.

v) Exercise - This is just the conversation which you've written yourself with a few words blanked out so that the students can practise. As the students practice you gradually hide the dialogue until it's all gone.

vi) Exercise expansion - Basically the same but with a few flash cards, say with job titles on. Students must perform the pattern sentences with the flash cards as prompts.

It's something like that for absolutely every Aeon lesson you will ever teach, give or take a few details.

Congratulations you are now an English teacher
