 Kaseta_Young_Learners - Lesson 0 grade

My Experience of Teaching Young Students | ITTT | TEFL Blog


Identify the phases and the aims of the lesson:


  • Aim of the lesson: Review/practice the rooms at home.


  • Aims of the lesson: review animals, what they can do and where they are. Answer to the question, Where is the animal around the house?.

 

Phases:

  1. Warm up: Chant song and Answer to the questions about the Book, What’s the animal doing, moving the nose etc.The teacher activates the language for the main activity, previously presented.


  1. Lesson: Through a game, the target it’s to find the dog in one of the rooms at the house. The teacher used a song playing hide and seek. 


  1. Closing: saying goodbye to the subject of the lesson, in this case, the spot dog says goodbye to each of them (physically), giving validation and belonging. Closing song.


The aids the teacher uses:

I Like that she uses a lot of strategies to do her lesson, between songs, chants, books, and objects the teacher maintains the attention of the hall class. Something that i find very interesting is the use of hide and seek as a tool to find in a house the missing character.


Describe the problems which occurred in the course of the lesson. What do you think was the reason?

I don’t see many problems, just one, it seems that the kids had enough vocabulary to participate or at least understand the lesson. The teachers insist on dealing with the dynamic discipline through polish, I believe it also can be done in English. I think it happens because the children feel more compromise in their own language.  


What possible alternatives/amendments/improvements to the lesson structure can you think of? What would you do differently?

In my opinion, she did a lot of very good things, in terms of lesson structure it was fine, i would do some things different, but also depends on the time, for example; i will explain my students what are we going to learn today or what we are doing and also, doing some extra work to reinforce the knowledge, using cutting, or painting or even a worksheet.


Was it a good lesson? Why (not)? What was it exactly that made it (un)successful?

I believe that a good lesson is an exchange or entertaining childrens, participating and speaking the teaching language, where they do not feel limited and can express themselves and not only teachers speaking show. I think this is a good practice communication lesson more than a presentation of the knowledge.

  Lekcja języka angielskiego - Dąbrówka In general the lesson was dynamic and most of the time the children were interested, a few questions comes to my mind, what ages the students are, their grades and English level,  I think the subjects were basics. I liked that it kept the children's attention with different activities, but I would do them very differently. I think the teacher was stressed or nervous, but she still managed to maintain the discipline of the class. In general they did well, but they had to reinforce the participation in a positive way and look for activities that complemented the knowledge, not just giving vocabulary that they already have and master; The way she told the story was a little slow and the way she spoke to the children was a little bit rude, perhaps cold and in terms of empathizing with them seemed very distant.  Personally, I would not have had competitions in winning or losing, nor would I have mixed what is good or bad in an activity where one s
