Reflections on Observation Task 2: Reading a Story in the Local UAE Preschool
1. What preparation (i.e. pre-listening activity) did the teacher give the
learners before they listened to the text? She showed them the cover page
and she read the title of the story, then she asked them some questions
such as … what can you see here?
If they had some preparation, select (a) if they did not, select (b).
2. Were the learners engaged in while-listening activity/activities? If they were, select (a); if
they were not, select (b).
4. How many times did the learners listen to the text / recording?
Think about the advantages and disadvantages of using the model of pre-, while- and
post-listening activities to teach a listening lesson. Write first from the perspective of
the teacher and then from the perspective of the learners.
Students will feel interested and they will love the Story and how the teacher
explain it. They will understand more when the teacher asks them a question
and retell the story. Also, when she will give them the activity which is drawing
the actions they will use their brain to remember what happened in the Story.
Disadvantages:
There are some children have a high ability to understand the story quickly, so
they may feel bored.
Other children can’t understand quickly so they feel that they’re under
pressure and they will feel bored.
Disadvantages:
It may take time to work on this and to do her lesson plan, also she will need to
prepare well to this story and organize her time.
