2. What do you think the aim of the lesson was? Do you think the
teacher’s objectives were achieved? Give reasons
I believe that the aim of the lesson was to introduce how to write a story and
to revise a little bit of all the tenses seen at that moment. I think the
teacher’s objectives were achieved because she could explain how to write
a story and made some activities connected with that. She also gave the
students homework regarding what they had learnt.
3. How much time did the teacher talk compared to the amount of
time learners spoke?
To me, the teacher and the students spoke the same amount of time. I can
even say that the students spoke a little bit more than the teacher. She
fostered speaking by asking them to answer their classmates’ questions and
also by reading.
4. How much time did the teacher use English compared to her native
language? How much time did the learners use English versus their
native language?
The teacher used English the whole lesson; except from one time that she
was explaining to the students that the past perfect is the same as in
Spanish, and she gave some examples.
6. What was the general behaviour and attitude of the learners during
the lesson? What was the general atmosphere of the class?
The general behaviour and attitude of the learners during the lesson was
really good. They were very quiet and behaved properly. However, the
teacher told me they do not usually behave that way. What is more, there
was one of the learners that was moving almost all the time and disrupted
the working atmosphere.
7. How often did the teacher praise her learners? How were errors
handled?
The teacher praised the students all the time.
Mistakes were handled very well. She helped students to correct
themselves and when they could not do it, she asked their classmates to
help him/her. Mistakes were considered as part of the learning process.
On the walls, there were posters of different things. There was a poster on the
alphabet, a map of Great Britain, a welcome poster, and a map of the city of
Buenos Aires.
The teacher was walking most of the time. She went from one side of the room
to the other so that she could speak and integrate every single student.
