1. Were the aims of the lesson achieved? Why/ Why not?
Yes, they were achieved. They answered correctly.
2. What were the most effective parts of the lesson?
Whole lesson was effective because students were playing all the time and they didn’t recognise that they were learning.
3. What were the least effective parts of the lesson?
The least effective part was revising the material at the beginning.
4. Were there any anticipated problems? How were they dealt with?
Yes, there were some difficulties because students sometimes thought very long for answer. I chose games to change the activity so none was bored.
5. What aspects of my teaching do I need to improve? How will I improve them?
I think I need to improve my vocabulary connected with children toys e.g. to give the answer when student ask me how we name it in English and I don’t know even how we name this in Polish.
