1.LANGUAGE AWARENESSDESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
Language Awareness can be defined as explicit knowledge about language, and conscious perception and sensitivity in language learning, language teaching and language use.
Can we become better language users or learners or teachers if we e.g. in our relations with other people and/or cultures, and in our ability to see through language that manipulates or discriminates? Language Awareness interests also include learning more about what sorts of ideas about language people normally operate with, and what effects these have on how they conduct their everyday affairs: e.g. their professional dealings.

SELF-EVALUATION
When students answer something we can notice if the form that we were using was correct , just look their faces ,if they don’t have all the correct information the look like a warriors in a hard road but in the other side if they learn and understand everything they look like a fish in to water.LESSON PLAN

3.LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESSESDESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
Second-language acquisition or second-language learning is the process by which people learn a second language. Second-language acquisition (often abbreviated to SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to studying that process. There are many different learning types and approaches to learning. To learn effectively it is important to tailor your study habits to your own needs and approach, this often means choosing techniques that work for you and evaluating them from time to time to determine if you need to try something new.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE
This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25, 12 women and 8 men. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 6:00pm. This is a motivated group, most of the students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too.

learning styles. So we as teachers must always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning results indeed.
SELF-EVALUATION
I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved. Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.
LESSON PLAN

There are many methods and approaches for teaching a second language but the use of them depends on our students’ needs and objectives.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE:
This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 7:00pm. This is a motivated group; most of the students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too.

CONCLUSION:
By selecting and adapting different teaching methods and approaches it was easier to fulfill the lesson’s objectives. Through role-play and other activities students had the opportunity to practice should and shouldn’t and they were able to use vocabulary related to ailments in context. Due to this experience I consider it necessary to keep on track of new methods and teaching strategies in order to provide students with the necessary tools for a second language learning environment.
SELF-EVALUATION
It was a bit hard to choose the appropriate methods because I first had to check students’ background, however I was able to achieve my goals and I think the lesson finally was a big succeeds because I was aware of everything surrounding my class as for example, materials, instructions, error correction, etc.
LESSON PLAN (1 hour class)
Warm-up The teacher will share a personal experience with students by telling them what ailment she/he once had. Then she/he will advice students by using should or shouldn’t in case they

ATTACHMENT
THE USE OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T
We use should and shouldn't to give advice or to talk about what we think is right or wrong.
You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do it.
You shouldn't means something like I think it is a bad idea for you to do it.
Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I think or I don't think.
Examples
You look tired. I think you should take a few days off.
Alice works very long hours. She should to talk to her boss.
- I have an English test tomorrow.- I shouldn't worry if I were you. You have worked really hard.
- I never have enough money.- I don't think you should go out so much.
Should - Quick Grammar Note
To give advice to someone you can also say:
I should do it if I were you. I shouldn't be so rude, if I were you.
When you regret not doing something in the past, you can say:
I shouldn't have spoken to him like that. I should have apologized earlier
5.PLANNING AND EVALUATIONDESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
Planning an educational evaluation refers to a systematic and ongoing process which includes:
-Researching and collecting information, from different sources, about the learning process, the content, the methods, the context, the outcomes of an educational activity.
-The establishment of certain criteria (evaluation criteria)
-The discernment and judgment of the analyzed information (according to the set evaluation criteria and at the light of the educational objectives).
-Drawing conclusions and recommendations which allow the re-orientation and eventual improvement of the educational activity”
Educational evaluation can help to change things and to plan “different things”, but it can also help us to plan things better, in order to prevent negative consequences and to compensate for possible shortcomings.

PERSONAL AIMS
The main aim in this area is to evaluate students, with different types of strategies, in all language skills using the CEFR as a reference to check how well they can read, speak, write and understand the use and form for the simple present; evaluate if they have achieved and acquired competences.
PROCEDURE
With the different evaluations methods this area evaluates the competencies: knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities and values gained, developed or achieved during the educational activity.

CONCLUSIONS
On this unit it´s important that students get the information and show that they use this structure correctly. We know that there are not golden rules” for the development of a perfect educational evaluation.
We have to be creative to choose the correct strategies to use formative and summative evaluations which can provide us real results about our students.
SELF EVAUATION
These questions can help to evaluate ourselves as teachers to realize if we are doing a good job at the planning and evaluation moment.
Do I define the aims of my lesson?
Do I plan my lessons including different evaluation techniques?
Do I use various ways of conducing a course evaluation?
Do I do needs analysis and assess my student’s language competence according to the CEFR?
Do I inform my students on language examinations available to them and advise them on the appropriate options for them?
Do I help my students to plan further learning to suit their needs?
