General reflections
The lesson was very successful despite the overall problems with the lesson planning
stage. I had prepared the lesson for a class which included students who were very strong
pre-intermediates, therefore some of the vocabulary was quite challenging for the new
students. The class however, all gave very positive feedback, saying that they felt much
more confident thanks to the techniques presented for tackling listening both in and out of
the classroom. They also showed evidence of understanding by completing the
worksheets appropriately and bringing up relevant points during the discussion.
