meet? • Make sure to keep it even• What topics do you need to cover?• When is the test?• Do you have any business trips?

Before you make your curriculum…..Ask Your JTE!
• Is this class academic or cultural?• What skills are students focusing on?
(communication only, writing, etc.)• What is the curriculum for the non-TT class?• Do you use a textbook or original lessons?• What responsibilities does the ALT have?
(Planning, test making, management, etc.)
![Page 17: Workshop C: Building a Curriculum and Staying Organized](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56812ce3550346895d91a967/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Textbook– Easier; use the textbook themes to create fun lessons
• No textbook– More difficult! – Choose themes you like, and teach lessons about them– For example…if you choose the theme “food,” you can
have a lesson describing food, a taste test lesson, a restaurant lesson, etc.
![Page 18: Workshop C: Building a Curriculum and Staying Organized](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56812ce3550346895d91a967/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Lessons should build on each other• Use similar themes, vocabulary, and grammar• Try to repeat points used in earlier lessons
Connecting Lessons
![Page 19: Workshop C: Building a Curriculum and Staying Organized](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56812ce3550346895d91a967/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Goals• What are your personal goals for the class?• How do those goals meet JTE’s goals?• (example: JTE wants to finish textbook; ALT
wants to make students comfortable in basic conversation…how do these goals work together?)
• Please remember, you are the assistant. JTE’s goals are more important.
• You can measure your goal with an assessment
![Page 20: Workshop C: Building a Curriculum and Staying Organized](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56812ce3550346895d91a967/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Basics on Assessment• Why we assess
– to decide what to teach/review next.– to measure/report on what was learned.
• To check our students learning or performance and to check the effectiveness of our curriculum
