Today, I had my final classroom observation. I observed Mr. Wilson's Speaking 1A class from 10:50 am to 12:30 pm. Surprisingly enough, both of my tutees (Amaury and Larissa) were in the class that I observed today. I enjoyed the fact that the teacher was enthusiastic about teaching and paid attention to the students' needs. First, the teacher started by doing a "warm-up" exercise about idioms and expressions. The teacher also let me be involved in the process by giving me green sticks with every student's name on it. Every time the teacher would ask a question in class, I would pull a green stick and say the student's name aloud so that they could answer the questions. After the "warm-up", everyone went to the lab to do a recorded speaking exercise on the computer. After returning to the classroom, the students took a quiz that included: matching, correcting grammatical errors in sentences, identifying regular versus irregular verbs, and writing the definitions of certain idioms that the teacher previously taught. After the quiz, the teacher played a movie clip from "Mr. Bean" in which the students could understand what it means to cheat and plagiarize work. After the movie clip, the students got into groups of two and had a rhyming "contest". Overall, this was my favorite class. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Wilson's teaching methods.
