most significant current weaknesses of your teaching? You can consider planning and execution here. It

them. Again, there is no stipulated number you should mention, but you should aim to mention three

areas you would like to focus on. (150 words)

supervisors. If appropriate, you can choose to use the same, or similar, strategies that you selected at

Stage 2, as long as you can justify this selection. The frame In order to , I intend to is very useful.
