ELT365 · Day 251 — Anticipated Problems — Learners and Tasks

Idea

Beyond language, plan for procedural problems: unclear task design, grouping that doesn’t work, or a text too long for the time available.

Example

‘The reading text has twelve unfamiliar words — I may need to pre-teach three blocking ones or the gist task will fail.’

Try

Read through your next lesson plan. Identify one task that could go wrong and write a concrete solution beside it.
