Hi, I think that you don’t need to announce the aims of the lesson to the students, that is a thing for the teacher, that’s my personal opinion
Pablo, pedagogically speaking that’s the first thing you need to do after you told them the title. They need to know what they are working on, what the lesson is about. You use other words to do it, not the ones from the lesson plans. It is not about about a personal opinion ( which I highly respect); it’s about the way a teacher is trained to do his/her job. I think it also depends on the country. Thank you very much for your comment. I’m looking forward to others! Keep in touch!
