The main goal is to obtain stable and measurable results in English in children thanks to the teacher. This is why so many checks are carried out. In addition, there are situations when the lesson is analyzed from the point of view of educational activities. In this case, control includes the following areas:
- What moral qualities are formed by the teacher?
- Do the stories use historical facts to enhance the effect?
- Does the child form a healthy and age-appropriate worldview?
- Does the teacher encourage conscientiousness, diligence, morality?
- Are children introduced to prominent historical figures?
- How does an English lesson affect a child's citizenship?
- Is there an imposition of destructive opinions and views?
During such events, attention is paid to the personality of the teacher, the nature of his activities and communication with children. A person who works in a school must be distinguished by a high level of morality, decency and intelligence. Socially active people with interesting hobbies and useful social activities are especially welcome. That is, such a teacher deserves special praise, who instills from childhood love and care for animals, respect for others, interest in art and respect for nature.
Parsing Forms
The teacher can independently prepare a plan and defend it at the teachers' council. In this case, he needs to honestly tell what he does best, what he would like to improve or correct. In addition, it is necessary to describe the atmosphere in the team, relationships with children and the degree of their authority.
This story can be supplemented by a colleague, if he was present, or by a group of people. The joint council makes decisions on how to strengthen the “limping” aspects. During the discussion, everything is taken into account: psychological work with children, the success of the implementation of educational measures, assessments and the overall performance of students.

An example of an analysis of an English lesson
We have compiled an approximate self-analysis of an English lesson for grade 10 on the topic " Internet Security ".
| Characteristic | Activity |
|---|---|
| Plan | Compiled taking into account the approved calendar annual plan for 2021 for 10 - "B". |
| Training | Last time, the children were asked to prepare small notes on their own about digital security issues related to the Internet. It was allowed to use news, media, own experience. Last time we studied global changes in the 21st century, and next time we plan to defend the projects “The Impact of Technology on the Life of Modern Man”, so the topic is relevant and interconnected with the general focus of education. |
| Fulfillment of health-saving requirements | Before the start, a safety briefing was held when working at a computer, as well as a small warm-up "Cheerful" - the children's mood improved. We did every 15 minutes a change of activity and a warm-up for the eyes. |
| Target | Master special terms, identify problematic points for yourself, familiarize yourself with the rules of behavior on the Internet, consolidate data about the group of times Past, Future and coordination rules. |
| Class and student opportunities | Since there are only 5 computers in the class, the students brought their gadgets for the story and demonstration. There are 20 people in the class, 15 of which speak the language at the level of Intermediate , 2 - Upper Intermediate, 3 - Advanced, so they prepared projects in English and expressed interest in the topic. |
| Educational and material base | Fragments of the Black Mirror series in the original, articles from the Think with Google section, and information about the use of Facebook's personal data were used. Mini-videos 5 minute news BBC how to protect teenagers from bullying on the Internet and from the influence of strangers. For repetition and consolidation of grammatical constructions, we used the exercises from the English File Third Edition (Upper-Intermediate). |
| Choice of methods and means | The funds were discussed with the children in advance, and they were delighted. The communicative technique , which I studied at the certification courses - where the main emphasis is on speaking and communication in a team. Knowledge allows you to discuss complex topics, train speech and replenish your active vocabulary. |
| Involvement of applied techniques and methods | Everyone made a report in turn, and then took part in the discussion of materials on the topic: they asked questions and expressed their point of view. The discussion lasted 25 minutes and took a break, but the children were interested, so they decided to meet at a classmate's house and continue the discussion. |
| Availability of new information | New vocabulary was studied: Internet safety, Digital maturity, Darknet, Online Behavior, Layman, Virtual reality, Worldwide web, Personal Data, Confidentiality, Privacy, Online abuse, Cyberbullying complaint, Adult cyber abuse, Illegal and harmful content. |
| Determining the quality of knowledge acquisition | Students successfully and without errors made sentences with new words. As homework, they were asked to read articles for 4 options: "How to support your child to play confidently online", "Back-to-school: top tips for parents", "Protection of children should always trump protection of privacy", "Anonymity online: the great balancing act of the digital age", for which I will conduct a written survey next time and give marks. |
| Visual aids, multimedia technologies | We used classroom computers and student gadgets, as well as watching videos on the projector and reading English-language articles from Think with Google and Facebook. |
| Independent work | Presentations were made on digital security issues, and in the process, the children independently discussed the materials. |
| Pedagogical skills | I evaluate my pedagogical skills positively, because I managed to interest the teenage audience, to find the necessary and important data that will be very useful to them in the future. There were no conflicts, on the contrary, there was a clear unity in the prevention of cyber bullying, sending personal data of both one's own and friends. Children shared their experiences and fears, which indicates a sufficient level of trust. I managed to convince them to post as few photos as possible and not reveal information that could be used against them. |
| Professionalism | TEFL/TESOL courses and received a certificate with the highest score, which indicates my high level of English. In addition, we studied the communicative methodology in detail, which allows me to actively and successfully work on it. |
