Gagne's 9 steps in language learning

Hola!!!! Ohayou! Jambo! Muli Bwanji!

Last class we discussed the principles of how we learn through the teaching theories of Gagne and his 9 steps of instructional events. All my classmates create a small teaching exercise using them.

1) Gain Attention.
2) inform learners of objective.
3) stimulating recall of prior knowledge.
4) presenting the stimulus.
5) providing learning guidance.
6) eliciting performances.
7) providing feedback.
8) assessing performance.
9) enhancing retention and reform
