Observation possssssssssssssst

Observation N1 : Marta, Claudia and Fernanda.

The girls call the students to participate in the activities, then give an instruction, followed by an example and finally the activity. They repeat that twice. All the students participate actively in the activity as the girls encourage them to do what they aks them to. At the beginning we see that one of the students refuse to participate, so Marta goes and convinces her. I also notice that she uses a lot of gesture and body language when explaining the activity. She constantly smiles and asks for clarification. Claudia is the first teacher in give an instruction. She hesitates at the beginning but then gives the example with confidence, she knows what she's doing. She is very sweet and tender when talking to the students. Fernanda talks just once and then I don't see her again.

Observation N2: Catalina, Francisca and Juan.

This class starts a little bit different. The teachers starts telling the students the objectives of the class, then they explain the activity and finally they perform it. The activity is absolutelly students-based, so one of the teachers explains and then the others encourage students to participate. Everytime they finish one of the slides, one of the teachers repeats what the students say so eveyrbody has it clear. All the teachers use a lot of gesture when explaining the activities and when asking for participation. They all talk a similar amount of times and leave space to their colleagues to perform their part in the activity.

Suming up:
Almost all these teachers are very encouraging and talkative. They all planned student-centered activities, which is good because keep them busy and active, making them feel important and also entertained. They all give very clear examples when it comes to illustrate the instructions which also helps the understanding and a better development of the activity. Their use of language is very appropiate for the level of English their students supposedly manage.
