Episode 139: My Lesson Fell Off a Cliff (But That's Okay!)

EVERYTHING EFL

Has ANY lesson EVER gone to plan?

I bet the answer is squarely more on the 'no' side of things than yes.

What does that tell us?

- embrace it

- take advantage of learner questions and turn them into teachable moments

- don't stress about not covering the syllabus all the time

Join me as I tell you about my lesson, where I did practically NOTHING that was in my lesson plan.

Was it my best lesson? No.

Do I care? Also no.

Why should I? My students still learnt a ton of valuable stuff: it just wasn't the stuff on my lesson plan.
