Lesson observing

Observe one or two lessons, and note down the types of interaction you saw, using your own list or that shown in Box 16. 1. After the observation, discuss or reflect on the following questions:

l. Was there one particular type of interaction that seemed to predominate?

-Teacher talk

This may involve some kind of silent’s students’ responses, such as writing from dictation, but there is no initiative in the part of the student.

Because we have a new teacher who does not even know anything about teaching and he does not have English as a native language.

2. Did teacher activity predominate? Or student activity? Or was the

Interaction more or less balanced?

There is no balance, because he talks all the time and students just take notes of the sentences he dictates.

For example he write on the whiteboard and then the students copy it, also he speak everything in English but his English is not the appropriate because he speak different, and sometimes nobody understands him even the teachers. 

3. How appropriate did you think the chosen interaction patterns were for the teaching objectives in the different activities? Perhaps look at one or two specific examples from your observation.

The interaction patterns and the teaching objectives do not help to achieve the final learning, because his class is not planned.
