OBSERVATION TEACHER TALK- STUDENT TALK

-

 Date: 17.01.24 

Grade: 2

Group composed of 16 students, that day, 13 students attended. In this grade they have 14 formal hours of classes in English.

The aim of the lesson was for the students to know and understand the vocabulary necessary to talk about machines. the theme of the lesson was “ learn about machines”.

For convenience and to achieve the objectives of the observation, two students, one very active and one less active, were selected to concentrate during the lesson.

In general, most of the students answer the questions the teacher asks, directly and indirectly, at least, in the observed session the teacher asked questions addressed to them by name or asked if anyone knew, in this case, open questions like do you know any kind of machines? At some point the teacher had to remind them to raise their hands, not just to speak all at the same time. On the other hand, a couple of students preferred to remain silent, but the teacher knew who they were and on more than one occasion, he asked them directly, specifying to the rest, remaining silent, that the question was only for this person.

In short, participation was good, the teacher paid equal attention to everyone, not just those who actively participated.


It is evident that the teacher knows his students and how the dynamics of the class work, he calls his students by name and knows their strengths and weaknesses, which allows him to adopt and work to develops their skills. By using a pleasant and friendly voice, the teacher creates trust between him and his students, thus promoting an environment where they can express themselves and ask questions and make mistakes naturally without being ignored or corrected in a negative way, in other words, not only he validates feelings, but also trains students to ask and answer questions without fear of feeling wrong.


The teacher corrects errors only when necessary, if there is one, he prefers to ask and create perspective on a general idea without pointing out anyone. Likewise praise when necessary.

My reflection

  My r eflection    Every day we encounter a different version of ourselves and our students. In the words of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, ‘No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man’. In this process of change, reflection allows us to learn and grow, personally and professionally. So I consider that the teaching practice becomes a constantly changing journey, where reflection is present and generates action and change, as if it were a cycle constantly repeating itself at different times (Kemmis and McTaggart, 1988).   As a result, I understood the importance of research in teaching. Through my experience, I can say that I am a person who allows myself to get to know my students and I try to give each one what he or she needs, constantly reflecting on what happens in the class and after the class. Often we are more concerned with reaching  the objectives of the class that we forget that certain strategies may or may not
