1. The school:
2. The classroom
I observed only one kind of activity and it was about filling the
gaps about sentences that the teacher wrote on the board,
students did not copy on their copybooks, some of them did not
even bring a pencil. They were listen music loudly with their cell
phones. The teacher focused on a book and copy exactly was he
reads on the board and he does not adapt the material for
students, he tried to explain the grammar rules but no one
seemed to understand him.
b) Describe the resources used and the materials available within the
school. How are the resources used in the classroom?
1. The learners
How motivated are the learners? Why? To what extent are they
taking part in their own learning? To what extent are they
expecting the teacher to do the work for them?
I always asked them all to participate during the class, even if the
answer is not the correct one. The majority is willing to participate,
although 3 or 4 students do not want to do anything. I encourage
them, and congratulate them any time, every class there is a point
for their participation, and if a student likes or is good at English I
tell him or her that he or she is good at it. Sometimes, I tell them
that I really trust in them in terms of behaviour. I still do not know
if there are any students with special needs because the
attendance is too irregular.
