The lesson debrief

When you get back to the test centre, debrief your learner by asking a few questions - encouraging him/her to reflect on their performance. Then look forwards to what will happen in the next lesson.

The example in the video is quite 'light' and only provided as a reminder that you need to de-brief. You might allow anything between five to eight minutes to complete the debrief process in regular lessons.
