FINAL REPORT 

We learnt that the blackboard is the most important material to cover the lesson and demonstrate , so we must know how to use blackboard in an effective way . As for the teacher, we observed she used the blackboard to cover the topic and showed some critical points . However , mostly she used it to make the students prepare the TEOG exam. F or this purpose , she just copied the exercise and activities from the coursebook , workbook and worksheets . She had the students  written  the practices from their resource book. Thus, they are spending so much time when they are writing or copying the exercise on the board . Teacher can not cover the lesson because of the lack of the time and this decreases effectiveness of the lesson.

Our mentor gives some information about the previous lesson in order to activate the students schemata. And then , she asks the questions to check what they learnt. After that she covers new topic gives examples and wants from the students to give new examples. In other lesson she makes them test about what they learnt . Another scenerio is that she chooses a student to write activity on the board . Furthermore , while the tacher is wirting on the board the students who don’t have the books are waiting for the teacher or the students who have the book are doing activities.

We observed that there are oral correction tecniques . According to us the most important of them is emphasising wrong answer by using body language. Our mentor is very good at using facial expressions and body language ,while she is showing her appreciation or disapproval.

In this observation we learnt that we must use facial expressions and body language instead of saying that your answer is wrong . Furthermore , not only disappeared but also appreciation must be shown.
