For the first class observation I was in a grammar level 1
class. The teacher was out so another teacher was teaching the class. The
lesson was prepared in a hurry but it flowed well.
The class was engaged and the teacher was engaged the
students in a joking manner that surprised me because I was not sure how the
students world react but they liked it.
This was the most interesting thing I learned from this
observation was how to properly and appropriately engage your students with humor.
I was unsure how this would be done with people from so many cultures in one
class but the teacher used basic American humor and that seemed to go over
well.
The class was broken down in a series of short group work
activities followed by class discussion it was very insightful and helpful to
see how to move the class from one activity to another without wasting time or
energy. The teacher was able to keep the class focused all the time by asking a lot of questions and forcing the students to participate.
