    The teacher creates contexts for natural communication through a variety of engaging tasks and activities, exposes students to authentic materials like newspaper articles and songs, and ensures comprehensible input during lessons. However, the teacher sometimes corrects speaking errors and pronunciation even when students are focused on meaning, and does not fully immerse students in the target language by allowing their first language to be spoken. The observer learned that the teacher provided some opportunities for second language acquisition but could improve by focusing corrections on meaning over form and creating a more immersive language environment.
