Second Class

 

In my second class, I noticed that the students were always late. While we were waiting for some students to start the class, some students were very kind with me and helped me to change the sitting arrangement. When the class started, they were with the same good attitude of the preview class. The teacher again was sitting in a corner and checking some homework, and at the same time, he was paying attention to me. The environment was kind, and friendly. As the preview class, I changed the arrangement to u style. In this class, I used more cardboard, which I pasted on the wall and the board; I also used markers, the book, and the board.

   

I tried to use more visual aids because in the first class, I noticed that the students pay attention and focus when they see something. What I guess is that if I continue using this aid, I will catch the students’ attention faster. Consequently, the students will have a meaningful learning.

The sitting arrangement and the visual aids are really important in this class because they permit to improve the language. The lack of visual aid in this class might hide students’ learning because they get distracted, and it is more difficult for them to understand the topic.

Based on what I already know about the importance of the variety of the activities, I think that in an English class, it is indispensable; moreover, it becomes something helpful for the practitioner or the teacher to maintain persistence and attention.

Based on what I observed, I think students generally prefer speaking activities than other types of activities; however, they do not like to stand up too much, and they prefer to be at their seats.

I believe that the fact that students always arrive late can hide their learning. First, they interrupt the class, and second, they are lost in the activities, so the teacher might lost lose focus.

So in the future, I will take into account the punctuality. Also, in the future lessons, I will try to explain to them things in general because the other students might have the same question.
