Alex CO #2

On Tuesday May 3rd 2016, I observed my second class room for students learning English as a foreign language. Unlike the beginner class I first observed, this one was much more advanced in terms of the activities and course materials for students. For instance, the students in the advanced class were tasked with reading a whole article from greatschools.org about co-ed schools and its various advantages and disadvantages. After completing the article, the instructor assigned students in the advanced course into different groups where the students discussed among themselves the advantages and disadvantages of co-ed schools.  The article and group discussion is a lot more advanced when compared to the repetition activity and worksheet material given to the students in the beginner class. After in group discussions, the instructor asked the advanced students to share their personal point of view on co-ed schools in an open dialogue that showcased the student’s understanding of dialogue in the English language.
