Group 3 did a fantastic job of the micro teaching.
I learned a lot from their ppt layouts and how they arranged the teaching activities.
Some tips for better teaching from our discussion today:
-When introducing vocabulary, it's good to add example sentences that are relevant to the student's experience. One can also ask students questions about the example sentence just read to make sure everyone is still paying attention.
-When explaining text, it's not necessary to translate everything, teacher can ask students questions to see if they understand. However, the questions have to be well thought out, have to be important questions if one wants to test the comprehension of the students by it.
-When introducing grammar patterns, one can put the phrases down first, and then ask the students to rearrange the phrases into the pattern taught...(on ppt of course)
-Ask questions during the teaching to make sure students are listening and to make sure they understand.
-Revise all teaching text, proof read... minimize language mistakes
-Check a good grammar book, minimize grammar mistakes
