Then, we have a set of objectives and aims.

So, we would start the sentence "By the end of the lesson, students should be able to?" and then a list of two, three or four items that we're expecting the students to be able to do by completing this lesson. The learner objectives are different to the teacher aims the teacher aims are what you are expecting from that lesson itself.

Tefl reviews - Coursebooks And Materials/types Of Materials - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT

So these are materials that all can be used within the classroom but they have not been created for that purpose, whereas creative materials, as the name implies, have been produced... [Read more]
