ELT365 · Day 221 — Ending the Lesson Well

📚60-Day ELT Masterclass — This post is part of an ongoing series. View full index →

Idea

A strong close recycles the lesson’s aim and gives learners something to take away. Trailing off or running over time undermines the lesson’s impact.

Example

‘Today we practised disagreeing politely. What’s one phrase you’ll use this week?’ One learner answers; class ends on their words, not yours.

Try

Plan a 90-second close for your next lesson that names the aim, elicits one example, and sets a micro-task for outside class.
