Jones, 1997 – "Clear objectives can help the instructor design lessons that will be easier for the student to comprehend and the teacher to evaluate".
Our course is getting more interesting in week 2. ABCD model offers a good way of setting and evaluating my objectives. At times, I expected too much from the students and forget a very simple thing: "What do I really expect the students to have after each lesson?". To teach a very first lesson, Was I too greedy to talk over on what to be called "contrastive analysis" of greetings between cultures?. My lessons were like preaches on MY understanding of greetings of those countries I have been to or read somewhere. As the result, the students were listening "eye-opened" and had almost no chance to practise. I thought it was a successful lesson. By that way, I make them admire me with the experiences I had not the way I give them the tool to survive in the English speaking world.
I just forget a simple thing that the KEY objective of the lesson is to give them the ways of greetings and motivate them to practice, to create a safe "swimming pool" in the heat of summer for first time "swimmers" to jump into. Analysis and Positive comments could go after the last person in the class has raised her voice.
The Condition plays a very important part to the Behavior of the Audience in making the Degree of Master. Teachers should be the catalysts that help make good learners.
Well, this is somewhat I understood from ABCD model and I do hope to have your sharing.
