On July 19th 2016, I sat in on Kyle’s Reading 3B class. I taught this class last week, so I thought it would be good to watch how this class is supposed to be taught. I can see why the class asked us to slow down, Kyle makes sure his speaking speed is slow and understandable. He is a very clear speaker. He started by talking about the reading for the day, which was Moby Dick. I also watched as Kyle interacted with the class, making sure that each student was involved. I learn so much through watching these classes; it struck me today that instruction is heavily needed to teach a class. When taking a class in another language, it’s imperative that clarity is king. I also was reminded that i need to brush up on my explicit grammar knowledge. It’s shoddy at best, and nonexistent at worst. I also think that I can learn through Kyle's teaching style, which is very welcoming and friendly.
