Report on the Six-month Course

As an English teacher at this school, I was asked to design a six-month course using the newly

provided video player and television set. This is my report in the evaluation of that course. The

course itself was generally a success, as the students enjoyed it very much. They found the video

very

motivating

for

learning

English,

so

much

progress

was

made.

However,

there

are

some

weaknesses that should be mentioned from a teaching point of view. First of all, there is a lack in

the school of adequate teaching material in video, so it would be difficult to extend the course.

Secondly, we teachers lack ideas for exploiting the use of video material effectively. I therefore

would like to recommend that we increase the supply of video teaching English with video. I also

suggest that a training course be organized for the other English teachers to learn how to use the

video effectively.
