Course Rationale: (700 – 1000 words)
Syllabus
A multi-syllabus lesson was chosen to approach the student’s course. The reason behind
this choice is that the student is already confident in his writing skills. The needs of the
student are speaking and listening, and the needs can be approach multi-modal because of
the student’s passed learning experiences. For this reason, grammar will not be the focus in
this course as he has spent 8 years focusing on grammar. This exclusion will be done while
being open to its inclusion where it will be beneficial to his learning needs. Alberto lacks
confidence in speaking due to his perceived accent (pronunciation problems). This may be a
source of his limited comprehension and understanding during conversations. This implies
that although he has a substantial foundation in writing, there is room for improvement.
Tasks that address these areas are included in the duration of the 5-hour course.
Topics
Mr. Minguez mentioned in his interview that using his interests in the lessons will be helpful
to him. He stated that he likes (1) football, (2) films, (3) music and (4) travel. These topics
are used right through the course to aide Mr. Minguez in being comfortable during the one-
to-one interactions. Mr. Minguez has an excellent reason for improving his English which
gives him a lot of motivation to reach his goal. The perceived high level of motivation gives
the teacher liberty to incorporate a wider variety of tasks in the lesson. The topics Mr.
Minguez has provided are universal and easily adaptable for class work and homework.
Target language
Speaking and listening are the target skills chosen for the course. Mr. Minguez specified
that he needs to work on his speaking and listening skills along with this technical
vocabulary. Despite these specifications, the lesson will draw from other learning areas that
can supplement his needs.
Structure
The structure of the lesson is multi modal and attempts as best to be balanced and fun. The
tasks are oriented around his interests to engage Mr. Minguez and keep him focused.
Hour 1: Needs analysis
The first hour of the course (i.e., lesson 1 of course) will focus on a ‘needs analysis’ of Mr.
Minguez’s speaking and listening skills. To accomplish this, Mr. Minguez and the teacher will
engage in small talk in order to (1) create a comfortable atmosphere for Mr. Minguez and to
(2) identify other areas of strength and weakness during one-on-one conversations. This
stage of the course allows the teacher to change the syllabus accordingly with concern for
his ability to use these skills. Mr. Minguez will in addition also receive a feedback form to
discuss the most suitable method of providing him feedback in the duration of the course.
Hour 2: Introduction to intermediate listening skills
The lesson is focussed on Mr. Minguez’s listening ability. Mr. Minguez states that he works
in Spain for Renault, thus the specific topic to cover will be on the automobile industry.
