III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes)
Step 1 Lead - in & Warm - up (3 Minutes)
Activity: Reflect on learning.
Ask: “How do you know if you’re improving in English? What helps you study better?”
Introduce the task: “Today, we’ll learn to assess our English learning (like Kitty) and make plans to get better—focused on self - reflection!”
Step 2 Analyze Kitty’s Self - assessment (A & B) (12 Minutes)
Activity 1: Understand Kitty’s Results (A):
Students analyze Kitty’s self - assessment table. Discuss: “What’s Kitty’s strength? Weakness? (e.g., ‘speaks English often’ but ‘struggles with new words/grammar’)”.
Activity 2: Evaluate Kitty’s Plan (B):
Students read Kitty’s study plan. Ask: “What’s good about her plan? (e.g., ‘copy new words, keep a diary’) What could she add?”
Step 3 Personal Self - assessment (C) (15 Minutes)
Activity 1: Complete the Form (C):
Students fill in their own self - assessment (Part A). Encourage honesty (e.g., “Do you make spelling mistakes? Struggle with listening?”).
Activity 2: Identify Strengths/Weaknesses:
Students share (in pairs) one strength and one weakness from their assessment. Teacher provides feedback (e.g., “Strength: ‘answer listening questions correctly’; Weakness: ‘remember new words’”).
Step 4 Create Personal Study Plans (10 Minutes)
Activity: Design a study plan.
Using Kitty’s model, students write their own plan. Include:
Strengths to build on (e.g., “I speak English often—join English clubs”).
Weaknesses to fix (e.g., “I forget new words—use flashcards”).
Walk around to help with actionable steps (e.g., “Watch English TV for listening; Keep a diary for writing”).
Step 5 Share & Refine Plans (5 Minutes)
Activity: Peer feedback.
Students exchange plans, give positive feedback, and suggest improvements (e.g., “Add grammar practice to your diary!”).
IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness
Check self - assessment forms for honest identification of strengths/weaknesses.
Evaluate study plans for actionable, personalized strategies.
V. Design Purpose
Self - Reflection: Teaches students to assess their own learning—a key skill for independent growth.
Personalization: Encourages tailored study plans, making English learning goals relevant.
Actionable Goals: Focuses on small, doable steps to build confidence and improvement.
