After the class: I had the opportunity to talk with the Teacher he says that his students are
really good but because of their age sometimes they seem to be tired and their
participation is not constant varies from one moment to the other.
He tries hard to keep students busy and motivate them all to participate, even though
some get lost because the English level between the students is not the same as you can
see in the report Daiki is a high skilled and participative Student, as well Carlos. But there
are some that hide to avoid speaking as Atziri, Lucía, Santiago, Camila, Carlo, Ribuh and
Eric.
Teaching in a regular school is different from a language school, not all students are
convinced of English importance.
The Teacher needs to give a lot of instructions students don´t have enough initiative to
begin a conversation it is natural because of their age.
Techer elicits a lot of concepts but he has the one who initiated the conversations through
questions 28% of the class.
Students answer a lot of questions and read aloud instructions or questions for the rest of
the class.
Teacher tries to have a Students centered but sometimes is a bit difficult.
How natural was the communication between learners and the teacher?
I observed that they know very well each other, and, also their teacher and viceversa.
They have worked for a while together so they have developed a work system, they know
what they are expected to do and they know and follow the classroom rules. That´s a
good combination.
