Personally, I have never worked with this format before, although I think it could be quite useful for my future classes, in case I work as a teacher, as it is not completely unknown to me, since some I have worked on some of the areas in previous classes of the TKT course; unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to put it into practice, but I strongly believe it would work in terms of selecting activities that contribute to each stage of learning, as well as helping to accomplish objectives in an easier way.
