New teachers!
I have found that when a lesson doesn�t work, it is often because one or more of the fundamentals have gone out the window! In my humble opinion, omission of the fundamentals include things like the following: Do you agree?
No warmer - no atmosphere established! They were like zombies! Also, latecomers frustrated me!
No proper language input given - necessary for sts to complete the task either before (PPP) or after (TBA). I just didn�t think it through!I discovered after the fact that they needed to know how to say something that I didn�t pre-teach�
No error correction. I forgot that!
Inadequate speaking opportunity for the student. I interfered too much! We ran out of time before I got my productive result�
No help with pron. Forgot that!
No adequate prep time given before I expected a speaking performance from them. (ie no pairwork/small groupwork) I failed to put myself in their shoes!
Blah, blah, blah! Teacher talks too much! - After all, it�s all about me!
No timing! No variety of task types! Boooring! - I couldn�t be bothered to find the materials!
This list is not by any means exhaustive but I do think these are cardinal sins, as it were.
One thing�s for sure - without thinking/planning, I find I�m bound to commit one of these...

| Yeah, maybe they should create a checklist of essentials to hand teachers with their ARC cards. |

Korean co-teacher blindly follows the textbook. No creativity
Korean co-teacher uses too much L1 gets hung up on the exam.
Korean co-teacher gets hung up on grammar.
Korean co-teacher refuses all the NETS good suggestions. Like awarding stamps for extra grades for students who participate regularly. Or using games from duebels site. |

Less is always more.
Take in any context you like. |
