Guiding questions for the final presentation

Please prepare a presentation to sum up our course for yourself and for sharing with others. You may use any format you prefer, but do create some sort of written record of it, too.

The main question: What did I learn during our English course?


Some of the questions you may want to answer as part of it are these:
  • What are my TOP 30 words / expressions from our course?
  • Which grammar concepts am I now more aware of?
  • Were there any typical mistakes that I found and which I am now aware of?
  • How did my motivation for English learning develop during the course?
  • How did my courage for communicating in English change during the course?
  • Which areas of the English language do I want / need to focus on in the future?
  • What are my next steps with English learning?
  • How did the course meet my expectations?

Please be ready to give some feedback to the activities of the teacher as well:
  • What was good, what could the teacher continue with in the future
  • What could be better, what could the teacher do differently in the future

See you soon! :)
