Teacher trainers' comments
41 Be careful with some of the expressions you use, the lower level learners find them difficult to understand.
42 Don't forget that some of the learners may be able to give explanations instead of you Boing it all.
43 You repeated your instructions four times before it was clear that everyone had heard them.

45 Every time you discussed a new word the learners asked what information they should write about it and where
they should put it.
46 While you were at your desk preparing the next activity, I could hear learners in the groups having problems
with the structure and making some mistakes.
47 I noticed that you had to spend quite a lot of time explaining things to some of the pairs while other pairs found it
easy and were sitting doing nothing.

B I will have to plan which instructions to use so students become familiarwith them.

D I should make sure I have the students' attention first before giving out anyinformation.
E I need to be more aware of the energy levels in the class and maybe havealternative activities ready.
F I should try to read up about different methods when I am planning my lessons.
G I should vary the different possible interaction patterns so the students sometimes workin mixed ability groups.
H I need to reconsider the roles in the classroom and make sure the students are given more opportunities
toparticipate.

Teacher's comments
68 Well done Anna; although you had some problems finding the right word occasionally, you managed to keep
going without pausing too much.
69 Your argument included a wide variety of words with very little repetition.
70 Parts of your talk were difficult to understand because, instead of developing a point, you switched to a different
one.
71 It is clear you did not do much preparation for this talk and relied on the ideas which you could think of while
you were speaking.
72 My comments are not very different from last time; you are still having difficultiesdeveloping your ideas.
