EARLY ENGLISH TEACHING PRACTICE

OBSERVATION STAGE
The atmosphere of the room is very quiet, of course students talk with
their classmates but when they have to work they do it quietly and
motivately. There is a good distribution of students seats, there are enough
for everyone and quite big for what a student need. The classroom is very
spacious because some classes are very big in number of students so they
need a lot of space. The board is in the front of the classroom and it is very
big so everyone can see it, no one would have any problem in seeing what
the teacher is writing. In the classroom you can find the basic equipment
like chairs, tables and the board but if you need a data or a television to
work an inspector will bring it to the classroom without problem.
The teacher enters the classroom and wait to everyone put their coats to
say hello, then she has to read a reflexive book that is a routine of the
school to leave a thought for the day. Then she calls the role and after that
she starts teaching what she has prepared for the class. Sometimes she
does works that students have to handed in at the end of the class so this
way she knows for sure that their students will work, these works have
percentage and at the end of the semester she obtains a grade from all the
works the students have done. She does some exercises on the board and
students have to go to the front and complete them and the rest of the class
also helps so they work together. She uses the book that the students have
been ask to take and also complements what she teachs with her own books
of exercises, photocopies and listening exercises.
The learners are motivated, because they like english and they aslo like they
way that the teachers teachs the subject. They also take part in their own
learning, bringing the homeworks done and going out to the board when
they are asked, etc. They are not expecting the teacher to do the work for
them , they know how the teacher is and that they have to work ny their
own. They like to work in groups and they are very responsible at the
moment of doing it they know that if they are allowed to work in groups is
because the teacher trust them and she knows that everyone will finish
their work. The students love when they have to go to the board to
complete the exercises the teacher does, because they work all together as
one. The things that they like the least is when they have to handed in a
task for the end of the class because they have no other option than do the
work.
