Hi Matthew,
2 questions
1) I was looking at the grading rubric closely and apparently there are vocabulary terms that we did to analysis in the text but at the bottom of the Tide article it says to only analyze the 4 underlined sentences.
2) For the grammar one and two sheets it says that we need to provide two more examples of the grammatical pattern that we have to analyze? So does that mean that we have to analyze 4 kinds of grammar patterns and for each one we need to provide 3 examples (4*3=12) and do the same for vocabulary?

For any of you who DON'T want/need a Saturday break from thinking about teaching and have time, a really cool webinar is beginning in 30 minutes (they're already in there), if you're online and wanna check it out! :) A really good preview of Tuesday's 'Error Correction' input session! And, to me, one of the most important areas of teaching to explore...

Sign up easily here, then click to the webinar:

If you love the idea of teaching with authentic texts, check out the blog post which previews an upcoming webinar. There's a sign-up button/link at the bottom of the post (this is also during your CELTA time, but if you sign up you can view the recording later at your convenience I believe): http://oupeltglobalblog.com/2015/07/30/using-authentic-materials-in...

Also SRT related: you'll be getting your 1st submissions back tomorrow!

All skills lessons involve lexis, so yes - what vocab will you pre- or post-teach? And/or, what vocab would be useful lang. for your productive task?

If we are doing a reading lesson, do we need to do an analysis sheet?

Comment by Matthew Noble on July 30, 2015 at 8:29am

Nope! For a functions lesson, just the functions LA sheet. Hope you're sleeping a bit - you posted that at 3:30am right? ;)

Ah, the CELTA life! :D

If we are doing a Functions analysis sheet, should we also do a Language analysis sheet?
