1.LANGUAGE AWARENESSDESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
Language Awareness can be defined as explicit knowledge about language, and conscious perception and sensitivity in language learning, language teaching and language use.
Can we become better language users or learners or teachers if we e.g. in our relations with other people and/or cultures, and in our ability to see through language that manipulates or discriminates? Language Awareness interests also include learning more about what sorts of ideas about language people normally operate with, and what effects these have on how they conduct their everyday affairs: e.g. their professional dealings.

SELF-EVALUATION
When students answer something we can notice if the form that we were using was correct , just look their faces ,if they don’t have all the correct information the look like a warriors in a hard road but in the other side if they learn and understand everything they look like a fish in to water.LESSON PLAN

signs that may be very different from ours. They will also understand the
importance of intercultural dialogue.
6. Self Evaluation
The objective for this lesson is to get the students culturally aware. The
material provided should appeal the interest of students and made them
aware of the importance of developing the necessary skills for intercultural
communication. However, it is important to keep in mind that for most
students this may be the first contact with a new language, so the teacher has

going.

3. LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESSESDESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
Second-language acquisition or second-language learning is the process by which people learn a second language. Second-language acquisition (often abbreviated to SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to studying that process. There are many different learning types and approaches to learning. To learn effectively it is important to tailor your study habits to your own needs and approach, this often means choosing techniques that work for you and evaluating them from time to time to determine if you need to try something new.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE
This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25, 12 women and 8 men. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 6:00pm. This is a motivated group; most of the students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too.

learning styles. So we as teachers must always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning results indeed.
SELF-EVALUATION
I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved. Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.
LESSON PLAN
e.g. 1 hour class
Warm-up The teacher shows students some images and elicits adjectives from them. (5min)
Act. 1 The teacher asks some students to pass in front and asks the rest of the class some questions about their physical appearance. Egg. Who is taller Pepe or Mario?Then she encourages ss to use the following structure. Eg. Pepe is taller than Mario. The teacher keeps doing the same with different classmates.(15min)
Act. 2 The teacher explains the rules of the formation of comparative adjectives. (15min)
Act. 3 The teacher pastes some posters of different famous people on the board and asks ss to make comparisons among them.(15min)
Closing The teacher throws a ball or balloon to someone in the class by the time she says an adjective. The student who catches the ball will have to say a comparative statement that fits for 2 of her/his classmates. Then the student will have to throw the ball again and the classmate who catches it will do the same.(10min)

By selecting and adapting different teaching methods and approaches it was easier to fulfill the lesson’s objectives. Through role-play and other activities students had the opportunity to practice should and shouldn’t and they were able to use vocabulary related to ailments in context. Due to this experience I consider it necessary to keep on track of new methods and teaching strategies in order to provide students with the necessary tools for a second language learning environment.
SELF-EVALUATION
It was a bit hard to choose the appropriate methods because I first had to check students’ background, however I was able to achieve my goals and I think the lesson finally was a big succeeds because I was aware of everything surrounding my class as for example, materials, instructions, error correction, etc.

You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do it.

Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I think or I don't think.
