Welcome and Introductions

Trainer(s): Gulnora

9.00 – 9.20

Briefly introduce each Core Trainer’s name and start “Ball Game”. With the help of a ball, participants get to know each other’s names.

Ball game:

This is an icebreaker which allows participants to know their names. All participants and trainers make a big circle, they should tell their names and throw the ball to another person. The receiver should thank and do the same. They should remember to whom they threw their ball. And once the person receives a ball, he or she can’t be thrown second time in this round.

1. When everybody tells their name, the second round starts. Here they should throw the ball to the person whom they threw to before. But this time they should call by person’s name. The same procedure is repeated 3 times, each round becoming quicker in mode. The trainer may add 2 more balls to the game.

These 6Ps materials were developed to be accessible to teachers with developing English levels. Many activities may be familiar to CTs and RPMs. This is for them to learn then cascade. They will not recreate the TOT, rather train on aspects of 6 Ps.

   * I never use community-building tasks. Actually this is a new idea for me. I’m interested in the idea, but right now, I have to write “N” for “never.” I’m going to put a star next to that one because I definitely want to improve on that.

Review of Principles 1 and 2

TRUE/FALSE whiteboards

Trainer(s): Umedjon

9.35-9.40

Tell participants we will briefly review Principles 1 and 2 from last week. Encourage them to look back through their handouts with you as you review.

Last week we started with the core, or center, of the 6 PS:

* Principle 1: Know your learners.
We did a Jigsaw Reading and Note Taking activity to review the characteristics of specific age groups. We also did a Find Someone Who . . . activity as an example of a lesson that can help you gather information about students.
Then, we moved on to Principle 2
* Principle 2: Create conditions for language learning.
We started with a Personal Inventory as a form of self-reflection and then used Think-Pair-Share groups as a way to discuss best conditions for language learning. Then we played Multiple intelligences game “Know your intelligence type”.

Today, we will continue with Principles 3,4,5, and 6:

• Principle 3: Design High-Quality Language Lessons.
• Principle 4: Adapt lesson delivery as needed.
• Principle 5: Monitor and assess language development.

Our last P is what holds all of the 6 Ps together.

• Principle 6: Engage and collaborate within a community of practice

• PPT 8-9

Principle 3: Design High-Quality Language Lessons

Principle 3 – Best Practice 1: Teachers prepare lessons with clear language objectives and share the objectives with their students.

Trainer(s): Apa Dildora

9.45-10.05

1. Introduce Best Practice 1: Teachers prepare lessons with clear language objectives and share the objectives with their students.
2. Discuss the four questions teachers need to ask when they are developing objectives. ●What do my students specifically need to understand when they listen?

●What do my students specifically need to say when they speak?

●What do my students specifically need to understand when they read?

●What do my students specifically need to write about?

3. Introduce and discuss language functions as what students DO with the language using these examples:
   * Orally name five things you need to take on a vacation.
   * Orally compare the weather in your city to the weather in Paris.
   * Describe what is happening in a picture of a beach in five or more sentences.
   * Sequence the events of a story you read about Olga’s trip to Samarkand.

Contrast language functions with forms by saying that language forms are the structures (grammar) and vocabulary that students need to perform the function. Use the “Orally compare the weather in your city to the weather in Paris” example to discuss

• PPT 117–120

Principle 3 – Best Practice 2: Teachers use oral and written English that students can understand.
