Lesson Writer
Our teachers introduced to us an amazing instrument which can help English and ESL teachers prepare classes effectively and easily. What teachers need to do is to copy and paste a short article. A couple seconds after clicking “continue”, the system will automatically display important vocabulary, grammar points and sentence structures and detailed explanations for each. Teachers only need to check boxes to select vocabulary, grammar and structures they want to include in that lesson. I am so surprised by the “finished product” at the end. It is entirely a perfect handout for students. The “finished product” does not only contain the language points teachers want to teach, but also include vocabulary, grammar and writing practice. Recalling my experience of student teaching last semester, my CT and I usually felt overwhelmed because we had five different classes in total and the process of preparing lesson was really time-consuming. However, with the help of Lesson Writer, the whole process only took me less than five minutes. Sometimes teachers really want to share some up-to-date articles with students, but it will take much time to connect these articles to language points students need to master. As a result, teachers can only stick to the textbooks. Lesson Writer enables teachers to share up-to-date articles with students. At the meanwhile; these articles will be closely connected with what they learned from textbooks.I feel it will be better if Lesson Writer can provide different languages so that foreign language teachers can also benefit from it.
