Part Three Researching classroom practice
There are two parts to this section. It is likely you will need to complete it over several days, as some
time needs to be allocated to reading and research before you start writing. You will also need to
teach and reflect on the lesson.
a) A researched essay
b) A lesson plan
c) A reflection on the lesson
a) The research and essay [about 1500 words] here you focus on one aspect of a
system/skills area (see *below).
i. Research
Choose either a system [grammar, lexis, pronunciation or discourse] or skills [reading, writing,
speaking or listening] area.
*Narrow the focus of the area to research. You can narrow the focus by level, text-type,
structure, topic, sub-skill or a combination of these. For instance, some possible topics could
be:
- teaching pre-intermediate learners the present perfect.
- teaching collocation to lower level learners
- teaching writing formal letters [for job applications] for high level learners
- teaching top-down and bottom-up listening skills to intermediate level learners.
Research the area you have selected. Aim to consult a minimum of four different texts. With
reference to both your reading and your own knowledge, analyse your system or skills area,
look for possible problems that learners will have with the area, as well as possible solutions
to these.
b) The lesson plan here you plan and teach a lesson within this system/skills area (see
*below)
Aims [one or two main aims, one or two subsidiary aims and an aim for each stage]. The main
aim should reflect the essay focus but needs to be realistic to the lesson and your learners.
**E.g. By the end of the lesson learners will have been introduced to and provided with

practice of the present perfect for talking about life experiences. (with pre-intermediate
learners)
Language analysis (focusing on the language items/skills area covered in the lesson)
Anticipated problems and solutions (of language/skills/tasks/materials in the lesson)
Procedure in a clear table format [including stage names and aims, detailed procedure, plus
interaction patterns and timings]
After you have taught the lesson, reflect on it from the learners point of view. What did they
get out of it? In which parts of the lesson did they make progress? In which parts did they
struggle?
