The most effective parts of the lesson were songs and game.
3. What were the least effective parts of the lesson?
The least effective was small talk at the beginning, the introduction.
4. Were there any anticipated problems? How were they dealt with?
This was the first lesson with children from my class. They haven’t had English before and I work with them during the week so I was worried will they understand and follow. Luckily, they like new friend and they don’t have problems with changing languages. They understand that Cookie will not understand when they talking in Polish.
5. What aspects of my teaching do I need to improve? How will I improve them?
I should work on classroom language and still avoid using Polish instead of English.
