First Class (2nd period)

Describe What I saw in the slice of lesson was that students felt unmotivated and uninterested at the beginning of the class. Even, I said good morning and nobody answer. It was really difficult to make students speak in the whole class. The warm-up was really nice because I think they really liked it. I was called spider’s web, and they had to present themselves.  Then, they had to solve a fill in the blanks about the reported speech. However, when I asked for the answers, no one wanted to participate, so I had to call them by their names in order to make them speak. Then, they developed a role play; I monitored them to check if they were working on it. However, when they passed to the front, some of them just said like two sentences, and that was all. After that, I taught them some vocabulary. In this case, they participated a lot because they had to describe some pictures. The materials I used in this class were, the cd player, the book, the board, markers, and pictures.

Personally, I believe that the attitude of the students were because they lack of vocabulary, and they are shy. Hence, they felt afraid of speaking. Those factors affected the class. I think they are shy because they lack of enthusiasm. Maybe for some of them English is difficult. Having a positive attitude is really important as it helps the students to have a significant learning in the class. Also, the teacher should have a positive attitude toward the students in order to learn because they will be bored or tired afraid of speaking in the class.	Based on what I already know about attitude is that having a positive attitude helps either the students or the teacher Based on what I observed, I think students generally felt uncomfortable for speaking, and for participating in the class.	So, in the future, I will be more motivated so that can participate more in the class. The next time I teach this lesson, I will bring more material as charts and pictures for making the class interesting for the learners.  In future experiences I will also apply a different kind of seating arrangement n the class.
