1. Gain attention

Trainer 1

9.00-9.10

Trainer says: We can say that "There are three types of lessons: The one we plan to teach; the one we actually teach; and the one we wish we had taught. Effective design and delivery of lessons lead to successful learning in communicative language classrooms. Teachers need to not only to plan and teach lessons, but also to reflect on how the lessons were taught and how the students interacted during the lessons. Through this module, you will explore ways that will help you design and develop lesson plans for your communicative language classrooms. You will also have a chance to delve deeper into reflective teaching practices that will benefit both you and your learners”.
