TESL 0140 Unit 1: Needs Assessment

Hello everyone!

Below you will find a link to the needs assessment I created for a class made up of new immigrants looking to adapt to life in Winnipeg, ranging from ages 25 to 45. The majority of them only have a beginner level of English.

In addition to this, I have posted a link to a little graphic I made outlining "when", "where" and "how" needs assessment can be implemented.

TESL 0130 Unit 2 Reflection: Think-Aloud               (Source:    http://www.phxtutoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/woman-reading-green-book-out-loud.jpg  )  During this unit, what stood out to me the most was the “Think-Aloud” activity.

I was unable to get the projector to connect up to my laptop, so I started the class with introductions and a class discussion to prime the students on the topic.

The students especially enjoyed the game of Kahoot, and it served as a great way to connect with the students. After having a ten-minute break, we then moved on to the listening component of the lesson, where students listened to a conversation between a bank employee and a customer.
