Reflection on Team Y's lesson
Good points of their resson
・ They could exploit the textbook well . Their introduction and short play based on the dialogue of the textbook . I found that it is possible for us to do lessons without making many handouts or charts . Many of groups were forgetting to exploit the textbook , and we tried to make something new , so we took much time to prepare the class . We learned many points of teaching grammer , so we tended to forget to use textbook effectively . Next time , I want to try to use the textbook more usefully .
・ Their warm up was very good !! Team A's lesson and Team Y's lesson were related , so it was important to confirm his knowledge and prepare before teaching the new materials . What is more , they could imply the content of their lesson in their introduction , so the introduction had aspects of both confirmnation and notice . ・ When they read the dialogue of textbook , they tried to use Backward Build-up Drill . It is difficult to read for beginners to read a long line of the dialogue , so I thought this method was effective .
The points they might try doing differently in the future
・ I thought they should take the time to practice new words and dialogue . It is hard for beginner to remember how to pronounce and the meaning of the words within such a short time .
・ He confused the difference between he and she when he did check test . Teachers taught the meaning of new word in Japanese , so we thought that he could understand the meaning , but he could not understand the difference . I thought it is important to confirm beginner's understanding . They might try using students as examples or talking about familiar topics .
ex) He is my father . He is Mr. Koizumi .
She is my mother . She is Ms . Aiko .
She is Yuka / Yukiko . (As point girls)
He is Taku / kyounowanko . (As point boys)
