INDIVIDUAL FILE Cristian Yacopini
Use of English Excellent.
Pronunciation and
intonation
Be careful with pronunciation of “rhino”.
Very good use of intonation to convey meaning.
Teacher’s stance Excellent. Your enthusiasm is catching. You show an
excellent sense of humour, patience and you smile at all
times.
Body language Excellent and this means you do not need to use
translation as a resource.
Use of your voice Very Good
Team work Cristian should try not to overlap with his classmates,
even if he is meant to help his teacher learner peers.
INDIVIDUAL FILE Emanuel Perez
Use of English Excellent but try not to overuse translation. For example,
“cow” “flashcard + sound” = translation was not really
necessary.
When you ask questions try to keep them simple, e.g:
what animal can you see there? Replaced by: What is
this? Is it a cat? Use simpler structures.
Pronunciation and
Intonation
Very good but try to foster repetition in pupils.
