Date/Time: 5/5/16, 1pm
Topic/Skill: Group 2B (Speaking Flemming) Preparing outlines for speaking presentations
Teacher Presentation: Introduction of class schedule and plan, then students independently prepared outlines while instructor walked around to answer questions and assist students. The instructor would intermittently stop outline preparations in order to introduce concepts such as "the hook" for grabbing the attention of listeners, and quick grammar reviews
Classroom Management: The instructor was in the front of the room and the TA, and all the students were in seats facing the front. There also seemed to be a separation of girls on one side and boys on the other.
Materials: computer and projector, whiteboard
Student Participation: Students mostly worked on their own to prepare the outlines for their presentations that were for the next day, but some students interacted with each other to discuss what topics are good for discussion in their powerpoint. One student helped explain a lot to the other students and seemed very helpful.
Feedback Provided: The instructor did a good job at ensuring all the students understood the objectives, and would walk around and give personal feedback and assist students in preparing their outlines.
Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: Since it was a speaking class, I noticed the teacher never even wrote on the whiteboard, only the TA did. The instructor always spoke the instructions and enunciated everything very clearly. When reading sentences, he has each student read out a sentence by taking turns, and demonstrates how certain words sound differently when pronounced even though they are spelled a certain way. I also noticed that new vocabulary was learned through context within the sentence.
