I observed a CIES advanced level grammar class. At the
beginning of the class the teacher projected the class agenda into the screen
at the front of the class. This is something I plan on doing as well in all of
my classes to give students an idea of what they will be doing that day. In the
class the students worked in pairs to check and find grammar errors in each
other’s summaries of a video clip they watched in class the day before. This
approach of peer editing will only really works in advanced level classes where
students are able to catch their peers and their own mistakes. In the class
they focused on verb tenses and telling the story in the past. I really liked
how the teacher stressed the fact that we all make mistakes and I could tell
that he went out of his way to make the students feel comfortable. Really great class!
