Assignment 15#

Q.

Watch all of your videos

•What did think as you watched your videos?

 

A.

 I was ashamed of my reflection in the video at first time. whenever her question about a topic was embarrassed me, I touched or hide my face with the paper. I thought that I need to have confidence in speaking English more. Actually, I have to learn English and teaching method of English. I am going to make more effort for my improvement.

 

 

 

•How could you have improved what you said - language correction, speaking style, or anything else?

 

A.

 As I wrote the above, there are some problems I need to change. I always think about grammar in the sentence before saying something in English. So, I need to have a little time. I have had difficult in saying something fluently without thinking. After watching the video, I decided to speak loudly and clearly. Also, I know many foreigners don’t care about grammar in sentences when talking to non-native speakers. I think It is necessary for me to make some corrections now.

 

Post your thoughts as a short blog post.

Q. It’s the year 2025. Describe a day in your teaching life. Imagine and discuss the role that elements of this course might play in your teaching. Elements include theories, methods, tools, or anything else covered in this course.

 

A.

 I will be a professional teacher in kindergarten in 2025. I have had a lot of experience through this job for 10 years. I am good at treating children and teaching English to them during class. whenever they need to be ready for next class, I use a particular gesture. It is the best method for children I learned 10years ago. Also, I have practiced making a sound clearly with a friend to speak out loud in front of many students. It was helpful for me. I am teaching not only children in the morning class but adults in the afternoon class English.

In case of adults’ class, we have conversation class. I have used a methods of contextualization and groups of three. I let them have groups of 3 or 4 and make a presentation through their previous experience about a topic. there are many adults who is interested in this class nowadays. Also, I always check what they learn in class today at the end of class. It is really important to have this time for a few minutes. I was taught a lot of elements by professors in tesol. Thank you so much!

Q. What thoughts did you have about the specific things shown in the videos?

 

Most of the students cannot concentrate on study when I start taking a class. there was a solution in the video. teacher makes them close their eyes in a few second when they start doing something. After this, students share personal time with teacher. they can be calm and ready for learning. In addition, I am surprised at decreasing suspensions. I think It's the best way to focus on the class.

Q. How have you (or others you know) included these in your teaching?

How might use these in your current or future teaching?

• Starting the Lesson with a Bang
• Using Guessing Activities
• Handshake Q & A
• Fishbowl
• Dialogue Circles
• Voice Projection
• Giving Clear Instructions
• Teacher Movement and Positioning
• Using Gestures and Nonverbal Communication
• Staying Focused on Teaching and Not Being Distracted
• Dealing with Behavior Issues

  I have used handshake Q&A method at the end of every class. there was a academic rules which is similar to handshake Q&A method. I asked them what they learn on that day for review. teachers could check whether students listen carefully or not. It was quite useful for them. I regret that I cannot contact their eyes with handshake in the past. I'd like to use the teaching skill in my future teaching.  




Q. What systems of behavior management/discipline do/will you use in your teaching?

I'm impressed with Mo shapiro on speaking speed, clarity of instructions because, I speak rapidly to students during the class. I found that what they focus on in the video is giving the instructions once and see who cannot respond for what I am asking. I need to slow down my speed of words and have nonverbal communication for kids after watching this . Also, I am going to make a gesture to arrange things for moving next step. It can be best signal to do the same things.

Q Which sites and resources were of most/least interest as a langugae learner? why?

 

A. There are a lot of information about English learning in this site. Especially, I think Studying with video in English is helpful. After watching the VOD at first, learners should type the word listening the sentence again in second step. In my case, I can listen carefully the whole sentence and have fun time with useful contents.

 

Q Which other sites have been useful to you as a learner or teacher?

 

A. I know there is one site for kindergarten teacher. beginning teachers make good use of preparing for teaching material and a phonics class.

 

Q. what did you enjoy about spending time in the computer lab vs the classroom?

 

A. In my opinion, enjoying about spending time is generally in the computer lab to students because it can take more interesting than studying in classroom. but, using the computer too much is result in bad effects such as straining their eyes, surfing internet or playing game. I suggest that they should be moderate computer users especially, teenagers who are addicted to Internet.
