Remarks

SB has produced four excellent dossiers that show that she can relate the current theories of foreign language teaching and learning to the practices and procedures used in a foreign language classroom. References to EFL literature show her interest in the theory behind the practice.

She is not only able to reflect on and evaluate her teaching in the light of the learning process, but can also suggest improvements for future lessons.

SB had a number of original ideas (cooking project, worksheets) that were successfully realised in her lessons.

She has also proved that she can collaborate very successfully with colleagues in the group project in all aspects - exchange of ideas, planning, lesson observation and reflection.

Planning and evaluation of the lessons are certainly above the basic course standard. The written aims of the lessons were sometimes lengthy, and the aims of the stages of the lesson occasionally described lesson procedure, not aims. There was hardly any evidence of how and when Susan monitors and corrects the students. She mentioned a preference for joining whole-class mingling activities as a student, which can make it difficult to monitor language errors. Susan might like to think about error correction and feedback in future

The dossiers are coherently written, with an impressive collection of supplementary material resourced not only from EFL books, but also from the Internet. Her visual material - photos from magazines and the Internet - are professionally presented.

Excellent!

Compared to the original

In both comments it is noticed that the teacher had good ideas to get the goal during the class and that she worked hard in the elaboration of the dossiers. It is also mentioned that the teacher made suggestions to improve her own work.
