I observed Andrew Wilson's Listening Class for Group 1 students. During the class time, everyone talked about what they like to listen to, and Andrew encouraged them to listen to English movies and music in their free time to build up English skills. The lesson was about the W questions. First, Andrew went over the five W questions. Then we listened to a dialogue. He assigned each student a W question and they had to write down the who, what, etc. of the dialogue. He introduced the concept of main idea vs supporting details. Then we went over some new vocabulary and watched a video several times that used that vocab. There was a fill in the blank worksheet, and the students tried to fill in the dialogue from the video. As class ended, Andrew stood by the door to collect the worksheets and asked students a question before they could leave, to see if they understood the lesson. It was helpful to see how all the concepts and examples that we have been discussing in our class play out in a real classroom setting. Andrew was a good role model of how to engage all students in classroom participation.
