I will begin by introducing myself and telling the students a little about myself and my experience. My lead in will be "one of the things that i have always encountered in my years of tutoring is students who are looking for their first tutor or a new tutor." I will ask them how many English tutors/teachers they have had. and a follow up question.. such as " what experiences have you had before and what were they like ?" and " Is it important to set goals with a new teacher? why?"

we will use the phrases “I aim to…” “My goal is to…” “I plan to…” “I want to achieve…” to talk about clear and specific goals for this course.

In their groups, students discuss and brainstorm various goals they might have for learning English. They should consider: Skills they want to improve (e.g., speaking, writing, listening). Specific outcomes they hope to achieve (e.g., passing a test, communicating effectively in a new country). Personal motivations behind these goals. As they discuss they will be given a google form to fill out individually. Each student should select and talk about their most important goal with the group.

Student get paired and create a detailed action plan for one of their goals and discuss it among themselves. Instructions: "Choose one of your goals and create a detailed action plan outlining the steps you will take to achieve it. Discuss your plan with your partner and get feedback on how to make it more effective."

provide gentle feedback if necessary/ if time permits.
