(A) If students have been systematically reading and studying the chapters of this book, they have by now picked up a reasonably comprehensive picture of principles and issues in language teaching and how they apply to the classroom. With that background information, ask pairs to go back now to Chapter 1 and look through the lesson that was described there in 18 numbered segments. Then, have them look at the 18 questions/comments posed in the subsequent section (“Beneath the Lesson,” pp. 4–8). Dividing the questions among pairs or small groups, direct them to discuss the questions and propose answers. What aspects of this class hour should one change, and why? Have the groups present their responses and rationale for changes to the whole class.
