CELTA Concepts 1: Setting Aims for the Lesson

http://www.pngall.com/

Below is a list of questions I will try and answer in this first "CELTA Concepts" post. Take a minute to reflect on them based on your own teaching practices/beliefs before proceeding to the main discussion:
  • What are lesson aims? What different types of lesson aims are there?
  • What is the purpose behind setting aims? Do you need to set aims for every lesson you teach?
  • Should we share lesson aims with the learners?
  • What are some of the pitfalls to watch out for when setting aims for a lesson?
