Reflection
What went well? My students love the youtube videos. Because most of them said
How do you know? the videos are interesting and meaningful.
My whiteboard-teaching seems not bad, but I think I need to do a
clearer handwriting next time.
My bridging part was good. I have gave my students background
knowledge and also connected the knowledge with what I have
taught in my class.
My teaching content was organized. I have introduced “will” and
follow the exercises, then I have introduced “be going to” and
follow the practice activity too.
 I also have made sure if every student understand what they need
to do or not. Because some of them gave me a positive feedback
about this part.
What didn’t go as I decided to let my students do the activities in group, but I totally
planned? forgot it when I taught the real class.
What contingency I have used an extra whiteboard to provide examples for my
plan did you employ? students; My students felt confused about my exercise instruction,
so I explained for them individually; I did the role play activity with
one student, because time was not enough.
What would you do I will prepare more detailed activity instructions next time. I used
differently next time? the same practice question in my teaching in practicum class and
simulation class, because students in practicum class are familiar
and comfortable with the question style, so they can understand
what and how to deal with the questions. Thus, I did not pay too
much attention on activity instruction preparation. But my TESOL
colleagues are not my students, they totally have no idea about
the abstract instructions, so they felt confused in my teaching last
Friday. Thus, I would like to give a more detailed instruction nest
time.

Otherwise, maybe I will not play the video in 0.75 speed. Because
students need the listening practice of common speed.

Also, I will give students more opportunities to work in group.

Did your students Yes, they did. My students did a great job on making their own
meet the purpose and sentence by using “will” and “be going to” to talk about future, and
objectives for this understood the differences between these two terms.

evidence for each? In addition, they followed my instructions very well and asked me
some meaningful questions to prove they are following my
teaching.
What do your In my opinion, they seems need more practice of making

How do you know? speaking and listening.
 Because my class was just about the introduction of future tense,
students only had a overall understanding of future tense. They
need more detailed knowledge and more opportunities to practice.
What did you learn My peers gave me lots useful suggestions and advices. Such as I
