Describe
On May 6th, I was in my first teaching practice with Basic
English students in UNICAES. Students were around 25 in total. It was around 9:15
am. The sitting arrangement was in a horse shoe. This time the classroom was appropriate
to the number of students. My tutor was sitting at one side in classroom. I
was about to develop the last activity of the class, so I asked students to
join in trios (I chose the trios), and to stand up. All student were followed
directions some slower than others but all were working. After that, I
explained them that they have to develop a discussion about the best clothing
item to wear for every occasion. Some of them were kind of afraid to start
the conversation, so in some groups I helped them to start the conversation
by giving my own opinion, and they immediately did it. They were discussing about
five minutes when I asked them to choose the best idea from their trio, and
they did it. One by one representative from the trios was giving his or her opinions
about the discussion using the target vocabulary.

I noticed that the students were afraid to speak at
the beginning of the discussion.
|
Based on what I observed, I think that probably it
was because they were not too comfortable with their trios because I chose
them.
|
The next time I teach this lesson, I will give them
the chance to choose their classmates.
|
|
I observed that all the representatives were participating
and sharing their ideas.
|
It is necessary to give student the chance to speak and expose their
ideas.
|
I will give
always plan on my futures lessons activities in which students could have the
opportunity to speak.

hi francy.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, to have basic students talking for five minutes is a big challenge and you did. Some times, they might feel afraid about speaking using the L2 because they have lack of vocabulary but if you select the people they are to work with you have the opportunity to strategically arrange the groups in order to have different characters together to help them in their learning process.
Hello.
ResponderEliminarI think that you can provide examples and help students when they have to speaK because it is really difficult for basic students. Nice! :)
