Discipline

In this class we were identifying some problems which are common in a classroom; we know that we as futures teacher should know how to control these problems, because of that our classes should be interesting, to get easily the attention from the students.

The most typical problems are:

1. Lack of attention.
2. Respect.
3. Use of technology without permition.
4. Bullying.
5. School’s organization.

With all problems presented before we must make our classes super interesting to get the attention, also we must let them know the rules, and that’s way the will know what to do or not to do.

Questions from Box 5.2

1.-Some techniques are more popular than others. What are they, and can you account for their popularity?

Definition, context and examples:

In my opinion they are the most important to teach vocabulary, could be in high school the students need to know definitions about something for their understanding.

Examples also help to the students to integrate or internalize the content better.

Context is very important, because through the examples the students will related them with the context.

2. - Are there techniques that are particularly appropriate for the presentation of certain types of words?

In my opinion, “Illustration” may be used for certain types of word, because it may help to memorize and facilitate the learning of the specific content.

e.g.: if the students have pictures, they probably remember better the word, and the process of learning will be shorter than other.

3. - Are there techniques which are likely to be more, or less, appropriate for particular learner populations (young/adult, beginner/advanced, different background cultures)?

Young: associated ideas, because young people need to have some ideas connected with others to understand.

Adults: examples, because examples always clarify the hard thing to learn.

Beginner: demonstrations to motivate the students, and they find the second language interesting.

Advanced: in my opinion in this case, we need to use almost every technique, excepts translation, because advanced learners need to know more and using the all techniques they will get it.

Different background cultures,

4. - Do you, as an individual, find that you prefer some kinds of techniques and tend to avoid others? Which? And why?

Well in my opinion I would use some techniques in which the students could see the teaching point in a way where they can understand easily the content, we can achieve it through demonstrations, draws, etc, to internalize it better.

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.
