Assignment 1 Professional task stage 4 (3 lesson plans)

4. Explanation

The three lesson plans are created for Chinese K-10 Stage 4 students based on ‘shopping’ topic to enhance students’ knowledge on culture

values and diversity, as well as to develop students’ macro skill in listening, speaking, reading and writing. The learning intention of the three

lessons is teaching students how express their shopping needs in Chinese. Then students will be able to understand and communicate with

salespersons in real life context setting. Through learning of the three lessons, students are able to explore aspects of their own values, and also

provide opportunities for them to reflect perspective from other people’s direction.

The lesson plan has applied Understanding by Design (Ubd) strategy and created the lesson by using “backward design”. The main learning goal

for these three lessons is building students’ listening and speaking skills in using language skill in Chinese-speaking community, as well as enrich

students’ development on social and cultural awareness. The PPPP teaching method has been highly implemented into each lesson plan, and

each P indicates a stage of learning process: preparation, presentation, practice and production. It is recommended for beginning teachers

especially in teaching language subjects. This teaching approach is highly controlled by teacher at the first and second stages, teacher as the

indicator to introduce the learning content, as the teaching in process, students are gradually shift from teacher’s support learning to self-learning

(Maftoon & Sarem, 2015). The unit of work is also implementing classroom-based assessment theory, which contains three sections: evidence,

interpretation and use. The classroom-based assessment theory is focusing on assessment as learning, which in concentrated on high level of

student direction to escalate the learning interaction between students and teacher, students and peers. The main teaching approach has been
Jingying Jiao 17420466
Assignment 1 Professional task stage 4 (3 lesson plans)

used in lesson plans is task-based performance assessment. This approach is focused on communication and division a central role to the

preparation, across interaction and large amounts of articulate response (Thomas & Reinders, 2010). At the beginning of each lesson, teacher has

set out clear learning goal and assessment task, and then teachers and students are worked together to achieve this goal before class ended.

The first lesson plan is designed to review previous knowledge on numbers, and then introduce the monetary vocabulary in Chinese language. At

the first preparation stage, teacher required each student to say numbers in Chinese when his/her name is been called out. By implementing this

method is intentionally refreshing students’ memory on Chinese numbers that they’ve learnt from previous lessons. During this stage, students

have developed their listening and speaking skills. Then the teacher has implemented ICT skill to enhance students’ learning interests. Teacher

uses online study tool- Quizlet to enrich students’ deep knowledge on Chinese numbers, and then uses Kahoot game to assess students’

understanding. According to Quality Teaching (QT) mode, this lesson is focusing on developing students’ deep knowledge on Chinese numbers to

address the concept of monetary vocabulary and structure. Through students’ results from these activities, teacher can better understands the

students and how they learn. According to Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST), teacher should demonstrates professionalism

to understand students well and designed suitable differentiation, literacy and nummary strategy to meet students’ learning needs across the full

range of abilities.

The second lesson is designed to introduce a new sentence structure on how to ask for price in Chinese. The teaching approach has been
Jingying Jiao 17420466
Assignment 1 Professional task stage 4 (3 lesson plans)

implemented in this lesson is scaffolding as well as cooperated with technologies teaching and learning. Teacher commences the lesson by a card

game, which targets reviewing learning materials on money terms in Chinese from previous lesson. After the card game, the lesson process is

shift from preparation stage to presentation stage. Teacher uses Quizlet Flashcards to teach new verbs and phrase. At this stage, teacher applies

communicative language teaching method, which is students learn the language through spoken interaction. Teacher uses repetition and voice

variation to emphasis students’ memory of new vocabulary. Then at the practice stage, teacher’s approach is focusing on student-centred learning.

Students are assigned group work, and teacher walks around in the classroom to help students. At this stage, teacher can have time to help

students with learning difficulties individually, as well as gifted and talented students, native students and heritage students. These three groups of

students will be given a different task that is suitable to their learning ability.

The last lesson plan is more focused on developing students’ productive ability. Teach starts the lesson on intercultural communication learning.

The PowerPoint slide explains and introduces Chinese shopping culture, as well as the comparison between Australia and China. Then students

are been taught a new sentence pattern on how to express shopping needs in Chinese. Students are asked to role-play salesperson and

customer to practice the sentence pattern. They are encouraged to use all the words and sentences they’ve leant so far in the conversation, such

as greetings, numbers, clothes and colours. Students’ levels of learning ability differentiate them into groups; native speakers and heritage

students are required to write a short conversation dialogue in their book or type in laptop while other students are practicing verbal conversation.

Overall, the main learning intention for these three lessons is developing students’ communicative skills and understands shopping values and
Jingying Jiao 17420466
Assignment 1 Professional task stage 4 (3 lesson plans)

perspectives in Chinese culture, so that they will be able to cope with shopping questions when they experienced in the future. The most important
