I chose my 11th grade class for the project.
Class size: 19 students, aged 16 - 18
Type
of class: paramedical section of technical high school (these students
will go on to train as nursing aides, counsellors and carers for the
elderly and the disabled)
English level: intermediate
Course material: New Headway Intermediate Fourth Edition (Units 7 - 12)
Cultural
background: this is a class consisting of a mixed group of students
where the majority are second generation immigrants from Portugal and
Cape Verde, and the minority are native Luxembourgers and naturalized
Luxembourgers of Italian descent. The vehicular language of the class is
English, with occasional explanation given in Luxembourgish or French.
Goal:
improve fluency in spoken English, expand day-to-day vocabulary,
practice listening and reading skills, improve writing skills, and build
job-specific vocabulary bank (related to the health care sector due to
their future professions)
Class frequency: 3 periods of 50 minutes each per week
Instruction method: frontal for introductions to new topics/explanations/instructions for upcoming projects
groupwork/pairwork for reading and listening tasks
flipped classroom for grammar and vocabulary practice
independent work for research and writing tasks
Quizzes and practice on computers (www.edmodo.com)
