Course Rationale: (700 – 1000 words)

Here you need to include:

 why you have chosen this syllabus type

 why you have chosen the topic(s) covered
 why you have chosen this target language/skill
 the rationale behind the structure of the course, e.g. why is it in this order?
 how the course will meet the learner’s needs

The reason why I have chosen a Multi-Syllabus for this student is because he needs help in
multiple different areas and helps me to also have more of a variety of authentic materials
from different sources. I will also be able to play around with the activities depending on
the students’ progress throughout the course. Once the student has met their needs, I can
focus on the parts where he hasn’t fully improved at. Alberto will be able to tell me where
he wants to focus on and I can meet his needs as requested.

After reading the analysis of the student thoroughly, I have discovered that the student
wrote down what his needs and likes are which were around the environment, current
affairs, science, travel and technology. That is the reason as to why I have chosen these
topics. I want my student to stay focused during each lesson and enjoy it as well.

The target skills/language is are listening, speaking and pronunciation. The reason why I
have chosen the target language is because in the analysis the student clearly states what
he wants to improve in and this will be the main focus of the teacher to achieve his needs.
All the needs will be covered in the syllabus.

With the structure of the course, the teacher will be able see the student is interested and
engaging within all the areas (skills) that he wants to improve in. It is also structured in a
way of through the students rating of importance in the analysis where we first start
focusing and keep focus on what’s most important to the student.

Speaking and vocabulary: Small talk about travelling. By the end of this lesson my student
will have improved in their speaking and listening skills by having a conversation with T
about what they enjoy when travelling and where they’d love to travel when visiting
places. This allows the student to talk more that will assist him with his pronunciation
with is an important need to the student.

Listening and speaking, Listening to Professional terms in workplace: By the end of the
lesson the student will be able to pronounce common work-related terms better and
sound more professional. The student will expand their vocabulary after the syllabus and
impress their co-workers as well as their boss which would improve their confidence.
They will be able to improve by doing a gap filling activity for the teacher to investigate
the students understanding.

pg. 2 lesson plan 150823

By the end of the lesson the student will have improved his English by using more
professional terms at work and where to correct himself when he is speaking English. The
student will feel more confident when speaking to his boss and colleagues.

With the lesson around malaria in Africa, by the end of the lesson the student will be able
to have a basic, professional conversation with colleagues at work and feel more
confident. The student will also have a better understanding of the situation arising in
Africa. They will have to listen carefully to answer the CCQ’s on the paper for T to see if S
understands.

Speaking and vocabulary, Improve Science vocabulary: My student be introduced to new

vocabulary. My student loves technology and science, that’s why I chose this topic. My
student will gain a massive amount of knowledge and have learnt incredible words to use
among his colleagues which will boost his confidence tremendously.

Meeting the needs of the student is the main focus of teacher, keep in mind what the
student asked for (authentic and fun activities) be flexible with student’s syllabus and ask
the student at end of lesson what he liked, what he would like to focus more on, give him
homework that will motivate him while ensuring all the students skills needs are met.
Encouraging the student to ask for help when needed is very important. The student will
be able to pronounce and speak more fluently to his work colleagues and impress his
boss. The course will meet his by watching videos over and over again to gain an
understanding of how a conversation is made and how it should flow.

I will go over what is expected from student for homework given at the end of each lesson
so the student understands what is expected from him, doing homework and not
understanding what is expected from him can be frustrating and demotivating, this will
ensure free flow of the next lesson as student will be prepared and know what is
expected from him. From the students interview I can see he is very nervous / insecure
this will be why I will encourage him to speak a lot and feel more comfortable when
speaking in L2.

His previous teacher had bad pronunciation skills which also impacted the learner’s
pronunciation I will therefore be correcting him with mistakes at end of each lesson and
this will ensure that with a lot of speaking practice students’ pronunciation will improve
drastically. The student seems very motivated to enhance his skills in English which will
make the lessons a lot easier for teacher to help student.
The student will have my email address to ask any questions should he need any further
assistance or is not sure about an activity from homework I have given him to do. This will
ensure that the students needs have been met.
