Lesson Observation 2

The overall atmosphere of the class was quite harmonious, the theme of the class was fruit, the teacher showed different fruits, and the students sat in a big circle. While teaching fruit names, color is also mentioned.

The teacher then took the warm-up game of picking a classmate, covering his eyes with a scarf, and picking a piece of fruit. Let her guess what fruit it is, what color it is, based on her sense of touch. Then take off the scarf and tell and encourage her to answer correctly. Several students were selected in turn, and the warm-up activities are pretty good and the students also participated actively.

After that, teacher asked everyone to stand up and draw out the numbers 1-6 to learn by clapping, turning, jumping, etc. And then use the flashcards to ask “how many apples are there”, “how many pears are there ”,“what is the color of this fruit?” and so on to consolidate the numbers learning.

Finally, the teacher plays the number song again, everyone stands up and walks around hand in hand to strengthen the number learning.

    I also love the game - "how many apples/pears". It was so fun when they count together and sing the song while circling!

Student practice-- Observation 4

This is a class for Grade One. The topic of this class is what we can do in the kitchen/bathroom? etc. At the beginning, the teacher gathered the students in a circle, took out the flashcards and asked the students where this was. This effectively activated the students' knowledge and enabled them to review the words. The students answered very actively, such as "kitchen", "bathroom", "bedroom" and so on. Then the teacher took out other cards about some activities, such as brushing teeth, washing face and cooking. Then ask the students, "Can we brush our teeth in the kitchen?" The teacher uses the simplest sentences to help students understand the questions as much as possible, and then the students will respond to the teacher actively. Then return to the seat and open the textbook. After getting familiar with the relevant vocabulary. The teacher asked the students to open the activity textbook and do exercises. First, it was listening. The t...

Teaching Reflection 1

This is my first clil class. The content of the class is about continents. For first-grade students, the purpose of this class is to let students know the names of each continent and be able to identify them on the world map. At the beginning, I gathered them in a circle and used a globe to visually tell them the content of this lesson. Then I repeatedly mentioned these contents in the form of maps, videos and paper-cutting practice paper to reinforce their impression repeatedly. It can be clearly observed that at the beginning, the classroom discipline was very good and the students listened attentively. However, in the second half of the class, some students began to walk around and talk freely. In class, I will explain with the simplest words and keep repeating to deepen the impression. My mentor's feedback after the class was that she thought it was done very well because she found that most of the students understood the instructions and carried them out. And I also walked aro...

Final Reflection

After a semester of teaching, I have learned many practical skills, which can make the class proceed more smoothly. My internship was at a public primary school and I was a first-grade student. Their English proficiency was at the very beginning, so this was actually a big challenge for me. But I have a very responsible mentor who often gives me guidance and suggestions. For example: Students are very slow in completing tasks. She said that a countdown/timing could be placed on the screen, so that students can be aware of how much time is left and have a sense of urgency. If students don't understand, there will always be one or two students with good English who can understand. At this time, you can ask them to answer the questions and then make the whole class understand. Let the students come to the front to present. You can also let the students who are good at English present first. In this way, the rest will gradually know what to do, etc. I usually apply these solutions and ...
