Unit reflection: Write a brief overview of the content of this unit and what you feel that you have
learnt from it. If stating an opinion you will need to give reasons.
#8: I would say that the statement is a procedure, not an objective. Objectives are a
bit larger and require broader-thinking skills.
#9: This one is anticipated teacher problems. Students wouldn't be expected to
explain the difficult vocabulary found in a text (unless it specifically stated that the
activity was with vocab), so I think this one could be teacher problems, not student
problems.
#18: Change to option 3!
#19: Change to option 2! (Swap w/18)
#22: I think this one might be option #1. In a class where students are coming in
and learning English, learning their first language is a wonderful aim for outside of
the classroom, but using English only (or mostly) helps with understanding and
comprehension. Immersion helps with comprehension!
#24: OPTION 4 !! Noise level and punctuality create huge conflict and chaos, and
create even more so if you do not address them. Avoiding discipline and conflict in
groups by changing up partners/teams is a great strategy for helping with rowdy
kiddos.
#25: This one is a tough one... I feel as though the answer you put is accurate, but
something about the teacher only introducing the game, then playing a round and
just having students ask if they need help is also an issue. Verbal directions are not
the greatest, but the teacher there is asking for confirmation that they are
understood, and are using a check-in/formative assessment to measure
understanding, so I feel like option 3 might be the NOT recommended one? Maybe?
This one threw me for a loop lol.

Your answer is .
Your answer: I learned a lot from this lesson it was informative in relation to the teacher's
materials and resources. The authentic versus non-authentic and concept of authentic material
which are considered real-life material used for a social purpose in the language community of
the native speakers. On the other side, non-authentic materials are teaching materials which are
made and designed for teaching purposes only. I have to say that one can use either depending on
what the needs call for in the teaching and plan lesson designed to teach students. I like both for
my lesson plan and of course unauthentic will probably work better depending on what purpose
and/or class of students learning point.
