Teaching Observation - Second Day

Our first lesson was again for 5^th grade. This lesson, they were talking about the weather at the beginning. After that they were listening a story then they tried to put the sentences to order. But in this time their teacher talked so much Danish than English. When students try to speak English than teacher began to speak Danish.

With the story you can easily evaluate the students’ ability of “listening, understanding, reading and speaking”.

                Our second lesson was with 6^th grade. In this class, teacher was more authority. Otherwise students were talking so much. This lesson, they were discussed about “what is the progressive dinner?”  After they found the question then they wrote their own progressive dinner on Ipad. They tried to make dialog in groups with their own words. And they didn’t finish the story so teacher ended the lesson. While they were trying to write their dialog, we got a chance to talk with teacher. We asked about the using of Ipads in lessons. She rarely used it in lessons. We asked her “did you get a course about it?” the teacher said us “yes but it is not enough.” She faced some problems to using it. And that is why she did not much like it. And also we asked about a student who was sitting alone in front of the classroom and just played his Ipad. She said about him that he was not capable of learning. Teacher didn’t say anything to him, he was not force to do homework or attending the lessons. He was so ashamed of new people. He didn’t want to talk other students, and he was not handling the lessons. If he was going to like this, he would probably send a special school. 

             Next week, the 4th of November we can not observe the class, because they have a special program with Ipads and it is not include English lesson. But we asked the teacher if we can come again the 11th of November. So we can go at this date.
