Date/Time: January 24th, 2:00-2:50PM
Topic/Skill: Listening, Level 3B
Teacher Presentation: Prof. Kim was extremely structured
and ordered in the execution of her lesson plan. It was clearly very
well-planned and flowed naturally into three parts. She clearly outlined the
scope of the lesson on the whiteboard for the students to see. She did not
overly rely on her PPT, deferring instead the lecture video which made up the
first part of the class, as well as the scene from “Friends” which served as
the basis of her dicto-comp exercise.
Classroom Management: Prof. Kim runs a very tight ship.
It was a class of only six students and she knew every one of them by name.
They clearly all respected her and most were eager to respond. Those that weren’t,
she involved in the conversation quite naturally
Materials: The PPT, Lecture, Friends clip, as
well as comprehension questions for the lecture, which included and factored in
the vocabulary.
Student Participation: The students seemed
very eager to be involved in both the activities. With the digital lecture,
students were constantly raising their hand to make contributions to the
conversation. Though the dicto-comp was a little hard to understand for some of
the students, they put forward an honest effort and were generally all engaged.
Feedback Provided: Prof. Kim gave continuous feedback
throughout both activities. For the lecture portion, she provided a
comprehension question sheet. When students gave their answers, she made sure
to correct them, and model their error as an example for class improvement, whenever
the opportunity arose.
Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: Through Prof Kim, I
witnessed the value of having a really strong base from which you run the
class. Her lesson ran smoothly because she knew what she wanted to do; when she
did and how. More than that, she made it clear to her students, so that they
were clear on what to expect. All of it resulted in a successful class and I
look forward to integrating this standard into my own teaching.
