...
He also wishes to progress in his job
...

speakers

pronunciation
...

Environment / Science / Technology / Current Affairs /
Football / Music
...


Course Rationale: (700 – 1000 words)
I have chosen this syllabus type as I believe that it will allow the lessons to cover all of the
desired aspects and obtain the goals which Alberto wants to achieve
...

Choosing the best syllabus for Alberto’s needs is of upmost importance in ensuring that the
lesson aims are reached and Alberto’s goals are reached, this is why choosing the multi
syllabus lesson plan is the best in my opinion
...
Knowing this, a multi-syllabus
will allow me to utilise a variety of platforms and strategies to keep him engaged by using
associated collocations, phrases and idioms with his motivation for learning English
...
Alberto stated he loves football; this is why
I’ve chosen to cover football as a small talk component and use within the first hour of the
course plan
...

The target skills include speaking, pronunciation and listening
...
This confirmed that these particular skills need to be focused on during the
course plan
...
I aim to be creative with how I teach these skills, as the student’s previous
learning experience was very structured and I have been tasked to keep the lessons fun
...

It is important that the course is structured in the following manner in my opinion:
1
...
This
activity is important as it gets him comfortable working with me, while also allowing
me to have an understanding of where he struggles and keeps him engaged with a
topic that he loves
...
This also teaches the student how to engage in small
talk during the future
...
Speaking (Pronunciation)
...


3
...
Fluency was one of the important skills
Alberto needed help with and what could be easily picked up on in his video
interview
...

4
...
The recording will allow Alberto to listen to
his pronunciation, practice it and use the newly learned words
...
It will also give him the opportunity
to practice using the new target language in a situation which might occur in the
working environment
...
Speaking and Pronunciation (Video activity)
...
The student will dress up in interview
attire, and record a video for prospective companies looking for employees
...
By seeing a
video recording of himself the student will be able to see what others see and will
be able to tell the teacher if there are aspects he is still struggling with or not
...

The course will meet the Alberto’s needs of listening, speaking and pronunciation by
doing tasks specifically relating to his needs as well as constantly allowing him to practice
during homework tasks
...
Listening to audio and video recordings will help him pick up on where his
weaknesses lie as well as to give him more confidence using target language to build a
stronger confidence as opposed to the beginning of the lessons
