Choose one of the samples and out from the theories that you have learned from the previous
modules, write your evaluation on the teacher's teaching performance (focus on the strengths,
weaknesses and write your suggestions).
Strengths:
The kids are glad and laughing as they engage and participate with the teacher. The teacher is
truly professional in managing the learners to cooperate and have a top study room
environment. They enjoyed so lots with the simple activities and are creatively delivered by
using the teacher. However, at the most basic level, we can start by connecting
student names with faces. Whereas we used to have students wear name
tags, many institutions makes this association process easy.
2. Great and Positive Environment:
Classroom environment is one of the most important factors affecting student learning. Simply
put, students learn better when they view the learning environment as positive and supportive.
A positive environment is one in which students feel a sense of belonging, trust others, and feel
encouraged to tackle challenges, take risks, and ask questions. Such an environment provides
relevant content, clear learning goals and feedback, opportunities to build social skills, and
strategies to help students succeed. Moreover, iwill help you evaluate the challenges you face in the
classroom and address them by infusing your practice with positive elements like humor, novelty, and
fascination. The first step is to examine the current state of your learning environment and assess how
effective it is. (E.g. The instructor is congenial to the point that the students feel great with him talking and
doing fun minutes with him).
Error correction performed by the teacher followed by a feedback is a usual part of most
traditional and even non-traditional school approaches. However, if we think about it, our
ultimate goal is to teach the students how to become independent learners and be able to
check their own work. Lack of awareness about the necessity of doing this has become one of
my teaching challenges.
Most students I encounter as a teacher believe that their work is done once they have
accomplished the assignment’s requirements. They tend to submit their papers and worksheets
immediately after finishing an exercise. My question of whether they have checked their work
is usually encountered with complete astonishment. They genuinely believe that mistakes
correction is completely the teacher’s job. This is the stereotype that I strive to change. In my
view, the purpose of language teaching is to turn the process of error correction into an
automatic process the student should be able to perform independently. Students must
develop awareness of their responsibility for checking their own mistakes. (E.g. He's so smooth
in remedying students. He does it by not making it clear to them with the goal that they won't
feel awful or decline their certainty level. What's more, he conveyed it in an enjoyment,
innovative and positive way).
4. CLT Approach
The negotiation of meaning entails putting learners in a communicative situation where they are obliged
to make themselves understood “by speaking slowly, for example, or repeating or clarifying their ideas
through rephrasing. Such negotiation is believed to encourage learners to produce more accurate and
appropriate language, which in turn provides further input for other learners. (E.g. Communication is
there. In his lesson, there was communication between learners in greeting with actions)
