With the vision to develop a Global Smarter Education Professional Learning Platform, the Global Technology Leadership & Instructional Technology Summit was initiated since 2012. This is the 8th year of this high key event, where we witness a gathering of international Smarter Education experts, to share their success stories and practical experiences.
　　
In conjunction with the summit, the Global TEAM Model Smarter Lecture Series was launched in 2018, where we invite Master Teachers in TEAM Model Smarter Education from different countries to form teams to conduct live teaching demonstration. During the teaching demonstration educational experts will be invited to conduct Sokrates Live Lesson Observation, showcasing the role of AI technology in supporting teacher professional development. The event also aims to provide a platform for School Leaders and teachers to share valuable Smarter School development strategies to the world.

This year due to Covid-19 pandemic, the education industry faced huge challenges but at the same time it has enhanced the momentum of educational transformation. Hence to demonstrate the leading trend of Smarter Education and to facilitate schools’ pandemic preventive measures, the 2020 Global TEAM Model Smarter Lecture will also take a different form of “Live Teaching & Online Professional Review”.

INSIDE THE WORLD OF MODIFIERS: Adjectives VS Adverbs

Lesson Design Concept

The lesson covers one of the linguistic aspects of English language, targeting grammatical awareness among Grade 8 students. Lesson objectives are aligned with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) of the Department of Education. Learning activities are student-centered, varied from simple to complex, while focusing on the syntactic features of language, specifically the distinct functions of adjectives and adverbs as modifiers. Teaching videos will be utilized for further discussion of the topic to augment students’ engagement in critical thinking, vocabulary development, and word functions. More specifically, the lesson comprises four (4) learning tasks, which in the latter, students will be able to write descriptive texts as their key performance task. Macro skills in English language such as listening, viewing, and writing are also evident. More so, application of technology specifically the HiTeach System will spice up the teaching-and-learning process.
