reflect from my friends teaching

Today is last week for this class. Today have many people to present teaching technique. The first person is teaching about currency she teaches speaking skill. In this time she is very good speak and has many materials but I think her content is difficult for student.  The second person is teaching about education of Malaysia and reading skill before she teaches she open video about Malaysia I think this video can lead student to know what teacher will teach. After that she teaches about meaning of scanning and skimming and she has an exercise to practice this reading skill. The third person is teaching about interesting place of Vietnam and writing skill. In warm up she opens video about what is Asean. In this video is cartoon video that can motivate students to learn. After that she teaches about how to write a letter. In this time her teaching is better from last time she is very try to do that. Also she speaks English not fluency. The fourth person is me. I teaching about interesting places of Singapore and listening skill. In warm up I open video about Singapore for lead to the lesson. After that I open conversation about book a flight tickets to practice student’s listening skill. Next I give students to make a conversation and practice their speaking skill. In this time I think I teach don’t perfect because isn’t more confidence. The fifth person is teaching about interesting of Singapore and writing skill. I like his teaching because is a good idea and student can use in real situation. He gives students to book a flight tickets by internet online. In this time has a game and authentic materials. It is good for our friends.

I think Teaching technique in my classroom have several techniques that I can apply to my teaching I next semester. Especially, authentic materials that very interesting and can motivate and make a good atmosphere for students. Good teaching method is good successful for teaching.

Reading from outside

To accomplish this goal, instructors focus on the process of reading rather than on its product. They develop students' awareness of the reading process and reading strategies by asking students to think and talk about how they read in their native language.

They allow students to practice the full repertoire of reading strategies by using authentic reading tasks. They encourage students to read to learn (and have an authentic purpose for reading) by giving students some choice of reading material.

When working with reading tasks in class, they show students the strategies that will work best for the reading purpose and the type of text. They explain how and why students should use the strategies.

They have students practice reading strategies in class and ask them to practice outside of class in their reading assignments. They encourage students to be conscious of what they're doing while they complete reading assignments.

They encourage students to evaluate their comprehension and self-report their use of strategies. They build comprehension checks into in-class and out-of-class reading assignments, and periodically review how and when to use particular strategies.

They encourage the development of reading skills and the use of reading strategies by using the target language to convey instructions and course-related information in written form: office hours, homework assignments, test content.

They do not assume that students will transfer strategy use from one task to another. They explicitly mention how a particular strategy can be used in a different type of reading task or with another skill.

By raising students' awareness of reading as a skill that requires active engagement, and by explicitly teaching reading strategies, instructors help their students develop both the ability and the   confidence to handle communication situations they may encounter beyond the classroom. In this way they give their students the foundation for communicative competence in the new language.

Learning log # reflect from my friend's teaching

     Today is second week of teaching presentation. In this day have 5 people to present. The first person is teaching about places of Narathiwat and asking and giving directions. She teaches structure that use in asking and giving direction and gives student to do role play.

She has a map of Nakhon Si Thammarat province. Her lesson plan are good because has a direct and clear terminal enabling of objectives. She speaks and manages  classroom is fluency and very good.

     All of my friend’s teaching is good and bad techniques. Some people should to improve for better. I will take and apply for my teaching in next week . I think all of comment from my friends can improve our technique that we can use in the future

classroom observation

Classroom Observation

We go to Sathit Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University school for observation’s teacher. Her name is Rachael. Today She teaches English in grad 2. We got many experiences from there for 2 weeks. Why we choose to go there because it near the university had a lot of foreigner teachers. In our observation, we got many experiences that we can apply it for the future. For example, teaching technique, student’s behavior, how to manage classroom, teacher’s behavior and teaching materials. 

          The first topic is lesson structure. These are the way the lesson opens, develops and closeswhen the teacher came to the class, she greeting her students by singing a song

Good morning to you ,

Good morning to you,

Good morning ,

Good morning ,

Good morning to you

During the teacher teaches, she uses many activities with her students . She often uses the song for them when she teaches structure.

          The second topic is classroom management strategies, In the class had group already. There are 4 groups in this class. ( A, B, C, D) When she teaches she will give a point for each group that participate in the class. She will deduct point for group that doesn’t participate in the class. It motivates students to learn. The class is U shape. Teacher comes to class on time.

          The third topic is about types of activity. There are a great variety of ways to make entrepreneurship programs interesting and memorable through active participation in the learning process. In this class has group activities such as, sing a song in each group, answer the question in each group. In their participation they will get a point from teacher. These activities can help them to harmonize.

          The fourth topic is teaching strategies. Teaching strategies are the methods you use to allow learners to access the information you are teaching. In her teaching strategies, she usually teaches the content by practice, practice and practice to pronounce the words or sentences. In every class, teacher will use phonetic chart to teach the role of pronunciation.

          The fifth topic is teacher’s use of materials. "Teaching materials" is a generic term used to describe the resources teachers use to deliver instruction. Teaching materials can support student learning and increase student success.In this day teacher has many materials for teaching. There are textbook (Let’s go), exercise book and phonetic chart. In textbook, it uses for teaching structure of question and answer. In exercise book, it uses for giving homework to students every day. In the phonetic chart, it uses for pronouncing the words. Moreover, she makes it by herself. It makes her students can read the words very well.

          The sixth topic is teacher’s use of language. Language is important for teacher and students. Learning English is important for our daily life.. As we all know, English is the one of important language in this world. In this class has foreigner teacher. So, she usually speaks English all the time, but she speaks Thai a little bit. (ชอบ, ไม่ชอบ, ต้องการ) She uses good or very good foe feedback to students. Teacher gives precedence of pronunciation and grammar.

          The seventh topic is student’s use language. In this class, students use English language for answer the question from teacher. On the other hand, when they don’t know the vocabulary in English. They will use Thai language. For grammar almost student don’t understand but teacher will help them to pronounce the word.

The last topic is student’s interaction. Interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction, as opposed to a one-way causal effect. When teacher ask question students in each group will help together to answer the question. Some students don’t answer but someone answer.

In conclusion, from this observation about teacher teaching is very good technique because she apply the technique that can motivate student to learn such as, sing a song, pronounce the word, and give point. She use several materials to teach her students. But she should improve about classroom management because students speak all the time. In my opinion I will use this technique to teach my students in the future. Especially, the phonetic chart it makes my students can pronounce the vocabulary that they don’t know before.

Project/Problem based learning in elementary school.

     Today I listen video about Problem based learning or PBL. In the second week I present about this project.

I think is has many advantages for teacher training teacher because we can apply this method to our lesson plan

     One of the major advantages of project work is that it makes school more like real life. In real life, we don't spend several hours at a time listening to authorities who know more than we do and who tell us exactly what to do and how to do it. We need to be able to ask questions of a person we're learning from. We need to be able to link what the person is telling us with what we already know. And we need to be able to bring what we already know and experiences we've had that are relevant to the topic to the front of our minds and say something about them."

     You see this with a young class of learners who've not yet learned classroom behavior. Little kindergarten children all raise their hands at once, and you're lucky if they raise their hands. Usually they just break out and say something when the teacher tells a story about her experience because they want to share their experiences. This is how life is much of the time. And it's not that when children are doing that they're not learning. They want to be able to apply their natural tendencies to the learning process. And I think by giving children project work, we open up areas during the school day when children can speak about what they already know, when they can ask questions, they can express interests that are different from [those of] other children. And, I believe, where they can work on their strengths."

      To conclude problem based learning is method that can help students to study. most students can see the problem and study by the problem. I think is useful for me because I can improve my listening skill.
