C. Goals for improvement / Intentions17:
At the start of the professional development trajectory you chose five aspects of your teaching of speaking skills that you wanted to change or improve over the course of the research period (see questions 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29). To what extent are you satisfied with the fulfilment of your intentions?18
25. You wanted to give the students freedom of choice: more freedom to determine what tasks they wanted to do, in what order and how they wanted to work on a particular task (form of work). How satisfied are you with the fulfilment of your intentions?
26. You wanted to make the connection between the speaking tasks and the input and/or supporting exercises clear to the students. How satisfied are you with the fulfilment of your intentions?
27. You wanted to add an information gap to the speaking tasks. How satisfied are you with the fulfilment of your intentions?
28. You wanted to add supporting exercises geared to communication to the speaking tasks. How satisfied are you with the fulfilment of your intentions?
29. You wanted to change the structure of the lesson, so that it starts with the open speaking task (with self-evaluation) and the closed speaking tasks are introduced as supporting exercises (to be followed by the students repeating the same open speaking task). How satisfied are you with the fulfilment of your intentions?
