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.
