Topic: Entertainment
Presentation:
Vocabulary
- Great introduction on showing the examples of the vocabularies and it is demonstrated well. Also, well-organized and very charming while teaching in class. I like the vibrancy and positive energy that you are showing to the students in class. Keep it up!
- I appreciate the fact that you explained the pronunciation of “ED-“ great work on this one!
- The logical progression of the lesson topic is demonstrated with adequate competency and I really like the idea that you are very well prepared on your lesson.
- You also have shown the ability to maintain eye contact to your students and your voice is sufficient enough for them to hear you. That said, you have communicated with them very well and you are easily understood by your class.
STRUCTURE:
- On this session, you have demonstrated very well with enough knowledge of the subject matter and very creative on showing the class about certain things that would motivate the students to learn the English language quite effectively.
- However, I would like to say it again and the same goes with your other classmates, that unison reading is definitely not my number go-to-kind-of-teaching-english- esp in reading or speaking. It certainly goes both ways, either or would make the students participate very well or make them even more lazier because the good student are able to do it for them.
- Also in this session, it is great that you manage to check in with the students if they understood you.

PRE- TASK: (conversation)
- You have great usage of your visual aids effectively in order to enhance learning during your lesson. You also have shown the ability to organize and conduct this manner during the class activity and modelling. Great job.
- Despite the visual aids, however. I don’t like the unison reading especially when it comes to reading too long of texts shown in the board or at the projector screen. Those passage (texts) are totally way out of control, it is massively overloading to the cognition of your students! Too much to take in—in one session.
- Also, give them some time to read by themselves. Let the new knowledge simmer for just a few minutes and give them a breather.
TASK CYCLE:
- Since this is an English class, I noticed that you wrote the student’s name (groups) in thai. If you can next time, write their names in English text so that the students are able to familiarize and get used of practicing to write their name in English.
- The groups were disorganized during the activity. You have to use your classroom management skills properly on this situation.
POST TASK:
- Great in presenting the guidelines for the students to follow, very well organized.
- I really like the fact that you have managed to let the students take their part in being a good team member during the group work session. I can see that the students are able to work autonomously without you keeping tabs on them. Although, in the video I have not seen you checking on them but I may be wrong on this one. Great interpersonal skills from the students and this made them active in participating.
- I must say that this session was very interesting and that you managed to pull it off. Just stay clear of long texts and focus on the sight words for vocabulary and everything is nice and smooth sailing.
