Observation Class 1

Observation class

This was the first class which I observed and I think that my classmate did a good job, but I consider that they can improve some things that can help them to be better in order to teach an English class. The class started asking the student’s name, I think that activity was vital to start the class because we as teachers need to know the name of our students. Also, the class continue presenting the though flashcard the vocabulary and introduce a question “who is she or he?” that learners will use for the listening practices. Additionally, the teacher started reading aloud the story to his students then students worked in pairs in which they did some excercise for the listening.

Interesting, must of the students paid attention to the activities that teacher prepared. To finish the class, the teacher had explained to students that they would draw their family in order to present in front of one classmate using the vocabulary and the question “who is she or he?”.

 What did not work?

I think that the students got lost in the listening because the teacher read the story and learners didn’t pay attentional, so an easier listening with a CD player would be better.

What was good?

The teachers tried to monitor the students in the different activities and they were friendly with their students. Also, they exemplified the instructions on the board.

What could be improved?

I believed that my classmate can have easier instruction in order to explain activates. Also teachers cannot speak in Spanish during the class, so they can use mimic instead of Spanish or use a basic vocabulary to explain something, and teacher need to be more creative with the activities that students make in the production or to make sure that all the students understand the topic.

 To finish my opinion, teachers learns new thing from others and also from the mistakes that we did in every class, we develop the capacitive to recognize activates that can have positive result in our students.
