First Class Obesrvation

We went to osberve the class that our classmates taught on monday 29th. Firstly, the interaction between students and teachers was very good. It seemed that the students were understanding some of the things that the teachers were saying. Secondly, both teachers teachers used the space in the classroom, they walked around the classroom while explaining or interacting with the students. Thirdly, both teachers seemed pretty self-confident, sure about what they were saying. Also, when students had trouble with something or questions, the teachers explained generally they explained to the whole classroom instead of explaining just to one student), in that way any teacher can avoid explaining the same thing to each student. Finally, the volume of their voices was the appropiate, not too but not too low. 

Things to improve. Firstly, pronunciation. Children learn the pronunciation that the teacher has. Pronunciation has to be improved. Secondly, the flashcards have to be bigger. As big as a page is good enough so that the students can see them clearly even from the back of the classroom.


The students. The students have an extremely basic knowledge about English so we have to be very patient with them. It is recommended to attend each class that our classmates teach to check the progress of our students so that we can make our lesson plans adapted to what they know. For example, 20 numbers were going to be taught, but the knowledge of our studets is way too basic so teaching 10 numbers is enough.
