Hello again (: 

I will talk about my observations on  8/A classes today. First I entered 8/A class with the tutor.The topic was ‘’ Dreams’’ which is the 4th unit in the coursebook. As I said before ,the students in this class are not very motivated for English class and thee teacher attitudes towards the students  is wrong. She always shut the students up by threating them and students does not listen to teacher, as a consequence.She said to me ‘’The students of this class are always like this,they will never succeed’’. She thinks she  does not  have any fault.

When she star t to teach lesson ,she wrote some unknown words about the unit on the board and wanted students to write them on their notebooks.She  did not anything else to teach these words to students completely. The vocabulary knowledge of the students can not be improved in that way. In my opinion, teachers must do extra activities and give to students more assignments for vocabulary teaching.

After she wrote the unknows on the board  and waited  for students write them down, she wanted students to read the short paragraphs about Dreams. After students read, she asked the  questions about the paragraphs to the students.Students were unwilling to answer the questions. A few of them raised their fingers and wanted to answer.The rest did not participate in the lesson. Afterwards, she let the students study for their  Teog exam during the rest of the lesson.
