TASK 2 – Lesson Aims 1

There are two broad categories of aims:


1. Procedure aims: what the learners will be doing during the lesson
2. Achievement aims: what the learners will be able to do by the end of the lesson

Read the aims below and decide which ones are procedure aims and which are achievement
aims.

a. Ls will be better able to ask and answer simple informal questions about a person’s life, likes,
and dislikes.
b. Ls will have done a role-play about meeting new clients.
c. Ls will be able to use the phone to order food, call a taxi, etc.
d. Present and practice the comparative and the superlative forms of adjectives.
e. Listen to the coursebook recording 5.2 and practice their intensive listening.
f. Learners will be able to assess different people’s attitudes when listening to a phone-in
discussion on the radio by interpreting their intonation.

TASK 3 – Lesson Aims 2


The aim(s) of the lesson should:
 Be achievable
 Be measurable
 Have clear learning outcomes, i.e.
 Specifying what the Ls will be able to do
 Specifying how the Ls will be able to do it

Bearing these criteria in mind, evaluate the achievement aims listed below.
1. By the end of the lesson, the Ls will be able to recognize, understand the meaning and
use of adjectives describing feelings by completing tasks.
2. To help the Ls practice their writing skills by writing a story.
3. The learners will be introduced to the present simple and the present continuous by
looking at tow timelines.
TASK 4 – Identifying main aim(s) and subsidiary aim(s)
Read the two lesson descriptions below and:
1. identify each teacher’s main aim and at least one subsidiary aim
2. state each T’s aims using the rubric: ‘By the end of the lesson…’
Lesson A
I have got a short text about a driving instructor. So the learners are going to read that and
answer a couple of comprehension questions. I have chosen the text because there are lots of
examples of the present perfect simple and continuous. So the text is a way of contextualizing
the language so that I can contrast the verb forms.
Lesson B
I have recorded two of my colleagues talking about their weekend and I am going to use this
as a model for the learners to do the same thing in pairs. There are one or two useful
expressions in the recording, such as different ways of expressing evaluation: ‘not bad,’ ‘pretty
good,’ ‘pretty nice,’ so I will want to focus on these at some point so that hopefully they will
use them in the speaking activity.

TASK 5 – matching activities with aims; learner assumptions; anticipating


problems
Look at the activity taken from American English File 3, 2nd ed. and do the following:

 Identify the aim of the exercises


 What the learners are expected to know to do it successfully
 Any problems you anticipate regarding language, the task, etc.
