Include atleast one reference (with an in-text citation) t0 support your response. (250-500 words) ‘After watching the teaching presentation on the video which lasts 21 minutes and 7 seconds on the teaching of the vocabulary, I learned a lot from it (hups://www. youtube.com/watch?v=AbRxBPY Lv ) This lesson is presented in PPP model: presentation, practice and production WAU de First of all, what I have learnt is that the lesson plan is comprehensive based on PPP method. Its objective is very clear and obvious to have the students grasp the concept and usage of the vocabulary through the presentation of the pictures and a series of controlled, free, productive, and meaningful drills to more personalized usage which causes the students to easily apply these vocabularies-into their. dabking-and writin; ER wae spate, 7 Then, the content construct is varied and rich but simple to grasps presentation is illustrated by listing a series of pictures. Through eliciting questions from hese plcturesyand explaining the concept of these words to ensure that students understand the meaning of them, then the teacher goes deeper to bring phonology and continuous (_-(illables into the teaching by writing and highlighting, So itis so clear that vocabulary \P~“eaching is built upon students” experience and knowing through the visual realia, ue eneleae - As to the teaching activities, Ihave to say that they are effective and impressive. Every activity designed matches and reinforces the new words the students are expected {o grasp. These controlled activities develop step-by-step from mechanical drilfto 4 og meaningful drilPt\more personalized communicative drill which Prepares themto be \ > more accurate in a real situation, ae a it Looking back to my own teaching method, | feel that I need to improve a lot in a ete ihe PPP model, especially the practice and production phases, These procedures are very important because the students can practice using the new knowledge based on their understanding and also this activity can be regarded as an observable and measurable outcome. Finally, I have to say that the valuable lesson I learnt is that the teacher isa guide guiding the students to experience the language and monitor the teaching process at the Same time, so the teacher should talk less, and the students should talk more and practice more. Just as Gettegno (2011, p.62) says, “The teacher works with the students: the students works on the language.” Last Updated: 1/24/2017 10:15 AM TESOL Certificate Programs UCRIVERSIDE Observation Notebook EXTENSION Reference 1.
