Let class read out a dairy together. 5. Using PPT, give detailed explanation about the target vocabulary such as collocation, words functions, meanings, pronunciations, and so on. (Google vocabualry dictionary) 6.

Evaluation: | 1. Target vocabulary were referred to the 7th national curriculum of foreign languages of Republic of Korea 2. Target words,especially main verbs, are from 'The General Service List' 3. Genre of writing(diary) is between formal and informal writing because if it is too formal it could be boring and if it is too informal it could be difficult to understand due to colloquial languages. 4. The rationale of this teaching is 'integrated teaching' because it includes 'listening to a story, reading a diary, discussing voabulary, and writing 3 sentences' 5. (Materials) PPT has a visual effects, MS word itself includes feedback for students, Google Dictionary provide bilingual ditionalies, abundant explanaionts about words, and pronunciation-sound, all of which help better understanding. |
Teacher Reflections: | -It is important not to confuse students while doing activity since it has many activities including four skills,so clear goal and objectives should be presented when class starts. -It could be good to give them positive feedback since most of students have negative feelings against writing -For fluency writing, it could be good to have time limitation, but since students are in a novice level, it is better to give enough time to think and write. -What's most important thing is to make sure that students can have some interest in writing a diary in English,which means motivation. |
