Course 1 Module 5 COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT

There are many excellent suggestions to ensure comprehensible input in the articles byHedge and Coelho, but the ones that I personally need to focus on are the following:

1.Are my lessons meaningful-relevant to the learners' interests?

2. Do I provide feedback?

3. Do I teach key words before a lesson?

4. Do I recycle new words?

5. Do I provide visual support?

6. Do I utilize graphic organizers?

7. Do I record relevant notes on the board to reinforce learning?

8. Do I avoid using passive verbs when speaking?

9. Do I give clear instructions?

10. Do I allow for oral rehearsal of key ideas?
