Task 1
In the first sight one of the priorities of the teacher is to create a silent atmosphere before starting an activity .As we observed our mentor keeps on warning some certain of students .
She is using her gesture and facial expressions very effectively .Those two factors makes our mentor more serious during the lesson .She does not necessarily direct or warn her students orally ,the gestures andfacial expressions are sometimes give the message clearly .when starting a new activity the mentor gives the instructions in target language .she repeats “open page 27” many times .despite this there are so many students that do not understand what the mentor is saying .After observing that they do not understand the instructions she showed the page so that they can understand the target language by using the total physical response method .When the students have difficulty in understanding she uses some kind of different methods so that they can understand like display method.
Another factor in the class which our mentor tries to display is showing a serious attitude when necessary because smiling too much or making some jokes may result in negative effects that she may have difficulty in preventing the noise in class.
Another problem is that some kind of events may easily trigger the students to deal with something else which is not related to lesson .as a result of this they do not obey the teacher until she raise her voice.
While managing the class our mentor always tries to bedemocratic ,equal and humanistic .she asks for the opinion of the students whether they have something to share or not. For example when she was drawing the pictures of the faces she was asking the students whether to draw male or female face on the board. The reason why she tries to be equal is that she wants to make the students feel precious and do not feel isolated .
In the fourth grades our mentor was eliminating the factors like closing the windows which are obstacles preventing her having a reliable and free atmosphere by having a silent class and making them focusing onjust the activities. Likewise from the transition of one activity to another one she has some problems on keeping the class under control,she has to raise her voice and scold them strictly.despite all of those factors she is very thoughtful towards to the students while lecturing ,she tries to be equal and answer all the questions .but that affects her classroom management and authority negatively .because the naughtybehaviours come out naturally and it is hard for her to re-creat her authority.
Task 2
As we know working in group is often presented as a good way of dividing work and increasingproductivity.it allows the utilization and sharing some skills and ideas by encouraging each other. But in the class we did not have the opportunity to observe any kind of group or pair work. It would help us to decide whether they can interact and are able to demonstrate the unity of helping each other.
