Transition markers Actual words used by the teacher
A word Ok, stop!Imagine…..A phrase or a sentence Put up your hands!Who has a different opinion?Minus one!Let’s turn the page up side down and look Page 30 exercise 3Homework page 56 exercise 2“If you do the activity quickly, we will listen to thesongOthers “y como hago para pedir un consejo?” (using mother tongue)This is shhh (when presenting should on the board)Can you see?What letter is not pronounced? the “o” is not pronounced1.-) What kind of transition did the teacher use most often?As regards the different moments of the lesson, the teacher did not use the sametransition marker, but as the chart shows she used different words and phrases in order to assign different activities. I could not say she uses one transition marker veryfrequently. The T used different transition markers in order to check the exersice theydid based on a questionnaire by asking question such as Who got below 0? or whatabout the group in the middle, etc2.-) Did the teacher use one transition marker several times?I did not observe that the T use the same transition marker. By the contrary, by givingthem instructions she moved from one activity to another, so by asking questions suchas what time should I come to my swimming lesson? or Gabriel says…I shouldn’t pick it up or Who has a different opinion? I shouln’t go out or Is everybody copying? (whenshe wrote on the board the pattern and the use of should, for example). So it was true tosay that during the different moments of the lesson (assigning an activity in the handout,or checking the activity with the class as a whole) the T used different transitionmarkers.
