      From this teaching, many people didn’t teach good. But some people can make very good teaching. We should improve about writing objective. 

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 closes when 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.

The Cock and the Fox

           There were villagers who had a cock. They wanted it to wake them up at dawn.

The cock was kept at the far end of the village.

Not far away, there was a fox that was waiting for a chance to catch the cock.

One day, when there was no one around; the fox went to the cock.

The fox said, “Handsome cock, do you know that your father and I are friends?” 

“I remember that your father’s crowing was beautiful; so, your crowing must be great too. Can you crow for me?” the fox asked.

Proudly, the cock agreed to crow for the fox.

When the cock began to crow, the fox jumped up, held the cock in its mouth, and ran away.

The cock was frightened and crowed louder for help. 

The villagers heard the voice. “Look, a fox is stealing our cock,” they yelled, took sticks and followed them.

The cock saw the villagers coming to help, it said to the fox, “Do you hear what they said? They won’t let you take me”

“Tell them that I am yours and they will stop following you,” the cock played tricks to the fox. Without thinking, the fox opened its mouth to shout.

At the moment, the cock flew away to the top of a tree. “What a fool you are. I’ll never be yours.”

By then, the villagers caught up with the fox. They beat up the fox and brought the cock back.

“Because of my silliness, I got hurt and lost my food,” the fox said sadly.

“Think carefully before act.”
