Evaluation and Critical Reflection on The Listening and Speaking Activities Taught in an English for Specific Purpose Course

The following paper is a combination of two assignments for the Master’s program “The Teaching of English as a Foreign/ International Language”. It concerns the evaluation and critical reflection on the listening and speaking activities offered to an adult learners’ course during their “English Terminology for Paramedics” class, along with a redesigned lesson plan. The paper analyses the students’ profiles, describes the listening activities used in a particular unit, evaluates them, and suggests improvements to their teaching. An evaluation of the speaking activities based on Johnson’s principles and Nation’s features, a redesigned lesson plan based on the Communicative Language Approach, and a critical evaluation on it follow.
