Assessment:
Formative assessments like comprehension checks after the reading section, vocabulary jigsaw, and speaking activities. These were used mainly to check if the learners have acquired the objectives or needed further support.
Differentiation: When presenting the Reading Vocabulary, it would be great to change the document’s format from pdf to PowerPoint. Then use the ‘appear’ animation to hide the vocabulary words while presenting. Let students see the pictures and elicit the words they represent. Give them hints when necessary. You’ll notice that the students will start using a great deal of the jargon related to each specific word. Once the students are done guessing, reveal the vocabulary word. Make sure you do pronunciation drills so the students learn how to pronounce the new words properly.
