ALP for A12 METHODOLOGY

Hello again my dear students,

Today I bring to you the description of your project.

Let's put your knowledge and talent into practice!!!

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Have you ever attended a seminar or workshop? You need to create a seminar or workshop; that is to document it fully. You are not to perform the seminar in class, but be ready to explain its different parts. This is about preparing people who are interested in going to the USA, and do not have the necessary English skills.

2. The seminar lasts 2 days, 3 hours each. Create activities and presentations that cover 6 hours total. Think of activities that are going to be useful for the situation.

3. Do not forget to prepare the syllabus, the lesson plans of the activities (that will not last more than 3 hours), and the evaluation (and corresponding feedback)

DOCUMENTATION STRUCTURE:
PART I: THE MULTI-SYLLABUS
First, think about which situations apply to your topic. Then think of which functions apply to each situation. Next, which grammar and lexis are necessary for each function. Document it all.


PART II: THE PLAN
Second, think of which activities (tasks) you will use to create the plan. Here, I suggest you look at the interchange activities at the end of your Interchange books and select the ones that apply to your situations and functions. The only problem with them is that you need to include more "Useful Expressions" Charts. Document it all, including: Class description; Timetable fit; Lesson Aims; Activities, procedures, and timing; and Problems and possibilities.


PART III: THE EVALUATION
Third, think of a placement test to know the level of the participants in your seminar. You can give them a small 10-minute test when they register to the seminar. Then, you can create a progress test at the end of the first session to find out how much your participants are achieving. Finally, create a proficiency test that you will give your participants at the end of the second session to find out how much they finally achieved. Document it all.


Any questions? Feel free to ask.
