For teachers it is always a challenge to facilitate the learning of a foreign language. For this purpose, teachers consider elements such as the components that the course has, the methodology used in the course, the abilities of the teacher, the opportunities of practicing the L2, texts, flashcards, listening material, worksheets, among others. We are always looking better ways of improving our teaching practice. I believe that methodology could give me the answers to so many questions, but I have to recognize that although I firmly consider that the objectives are most important thing, I do not apply a backward design when planning a lesson. After reading the first chapter of “Understanding by Design” I realize that it should be better for teachers to first think about students’ specific learning sought and the evidence of these learnings. Although, all the information gathered offer teachers a great explanation of how this backward design could be implemented, it should be interesting to apply it in Chile. I always say that is important when teaching to make it beneficial and practical to learners. So, I ask myself, according teachers' reality, Is it possible to implement all the stages of backward design when planning a lesson?.
