Social Media - A Good Thing or a Bad Thing?
Published Aug
...
Well, there are always two sides of
everything; it depends on your perspective on how you perceive it
...

We have complied some of the positive and negative opinions people express for social networks:
Positive Effects:
-Friends and Relations:

4 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan

Social networks started as a place to connect with your friends in an easy and convenient way
...
Social networks have provided us the opportunity to connect with people and build better relationships with friends
with whom we are unable to meet personally and let them know about our life and take input about their lives and events happening
with them
...
The sharing feature available on the social networks makes your opinion about any topic reach huge
number of people (even to those who are not on your friends list)
...
Simply there are a number of options
available for us to communicate with others on these social networks
...
We don’t even notice this but as soon as we open our desktops or laptops to
access the web, we sub-consciously open our favorite social network just to see about the updates received
...
There are a number of
customized applications being made on the social platforms, whose main purpose is to promote the product or brand
...

Negative Effects:
-Leads to Addiction:

6 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan

Many studies have shown that the extensive use of social media can actually cause addiction to the users
...

-Lead to Isolation:
Extreme usage of social media has reduced the level of human interaction
...
Face to face communication and
meetings has been reduced and many of us have lost the flavor and charm to be together under one roof
...
But it is a great distraction to employees, who may show
more interest in what their friends are posting than in their work tasks
...
com posted two studies which demonstrated damage to
productivity caused by social networking
...
5% off office productivity while Morse
claimed that British companies lost 2
...
New technology products have become available that
allow social networks to be blocked, but their effectiveness remains spotty
...

It stands somewhere in between

Do you think Social Networks are good or
bad?

Please include a rationale for why you have chosen this authentic material (approximately 100 words):
I chose this article because I felt that it would interest the learners, given their ages
...
The article would also allow for some discussion around the topic, forcing students to articulate their opinions in English
...
This will test their comprehension skills
and their ability to expand on what they have read

and

Interaction Teacher’s procedure
Pattern

S-S

T-S

Students will…

Example:
Show pictures of 3 different sports –
football (team), tennis (one vs one),
marathon running (individual)
Ask students to discuss the advantages
and disadvantages of each type of sport

Example:
Students will identify the lesson topic
Learners will use their previous
knowledge to make links to the topic

Students will be shown pictures of
various social media platform
logos
...


Students will be introduced to
the topic of the lesson and be
able to use their own knowledge
and experiences across social
media platforms
...


S

Students will then be tasked with
writing down three of their
favourite social media platforms
and stating their least favourite
thing about each platform
...
This will
come in handy when answering
the questions presented in the
last part of the article
...


T-S

The teacher will present students
with words taken from the text
that are very important to the text
...


Students
will
understand
important words from the
passage and have a general idea
of the topic
...


for To grasp the passage’s 15mins
brief topic without
getting into excessive
detail
...
This will
be done individually as each
student will have to demonstrate
that they got the gist of the article
and are able to provide just the
main ideas around it
...

They will also be able to
demonstrate that they can
articulate the general idea,
hence also showing their
understanding
...

of the text

Review
vocabulary

To afford students with 5mins
the opportunity to see
the
vocabulary
differently
and
thoroughly after having
gone through the
reading
...
They will be tasked with picking a side and defending it
...
Here, students will
write two paragraphs stating
whether or not social media is bad,
and with the guide of the article,
they will be required to justify their
point
...


Working in pairs, students will
also be forced to discuss the
question
extensively
and
articulate their reasoning to
their partners before presenting
it to the class
...
In the same pairs,
students will be tasked with
matching the word to its correct
definition
...

End of lesson Show an understanding 5mins
cool down
of the topic and
confidence in reading
...


Students will show an
understanding of the topic
adequately by applying some of
the points in the text to their
own individual experiences
...

The lesson plan has also been designed in a way that encourages participation and interaction amongst the learners, given their age
differences
...
Presenting the lesson with images the learners are familiar with will
allow them to remain alert and interested in the lesson’s topic
...
Students are given a task that seems very small and intimate to them; this will
create a sense of ease that will allow presenting and interacting with the text a lot easier
...

- Presenting vocabulary from the text will allow the generating of ideas around the topic of the text
...

- The selected reading for gist activity allows for each student to be tested on this skill
...
This will force each student to actively leave out
sections they deem irrelevant and only present information that is the most relevant to the article
...
Students will need to read the
article and fully understand it before tackling the question presented in the article
...
This will only be possible if students are
able to clearly understand the article and the points listed in favour of social media being good and those listed in favour of it being
bad
...
They will be tested
on whether they remember the terms and their definitions
...
Students will still reflect on the lesson topic, this
time more as a conversational task that will reflect their understanding of the topic based on the presented article and also on their
own personal experiences with social media platforms
...
Students may also fail to understand the
article and, as such, become even more frustrating when presented with tasks that depend mostly on reading that particular task
...

Other considerations:
I considered allowing more team/group/pair work for the tasks
...

I also felt that putting students in teams of more than two individuals would result in the discussions reverting to Spanish
