The teacher starts the class telling the students off. It seems that she doesn’t have any knowledge about classroom management. As a result, students simply act as if she isn’t there and they are very disrespectful. They don’t pay attention to her and don’t work in the class.
The teacher tries to teach her students using the grammar-translation method, but no one listens to her. There is no student-teacher interaction or student-student interaction in terms of the topic of the class, just harsh words among them; therefore they really haven’t learnt much this semester.
Teacher’s motivation doesn’t exist and she is always complaining about education, and asking me why I am study pedagogy. But this class helps me and motivates me a lot, because it encourages me to be a
nice and good teacher.
What you described makes us confirm the need to make big changes in our field.
ResponderEliminarI am sure you will face the challenges and change the grammar-translation into more communicative lessons !
