Being a teacher: learning through experience

General reflection  I think that the lesson has good didactic elements. A good element of the class is that it carries real objects related to the theme of the class, which is fruit, colours and numbers. However, the way in which the teacher conducts her classes does not seem to me to be adequate, as she does not make good use of the language.  It is important to use the L2 or LF at all times when teaching that language, and to avoid using the L1 in the classroom, as this could confuse the students.   A clear example of this confusion is when the teacher asks pupils in Polish and English about the colours of fruit and they answer in their L1 (Polish) instead of L2 (English) as it is difficult for them to differentiate which language to speak.

    General reflection I think that the teacher makes good use of didactic strategies for the topic of her class. She keeps the children engaged in various activities, which prevents the students from getting bored or doing different activities.   Also the teacher uses various didactic materials such as: flash cards, teddy bear, a rope, and worksheets, among other things. I think her class is good  but simple. Warmup used by the teacher I think the warm up is good, I liked the exercise: "right and wrong" and stomping or clapping.  Shouting is a good way to bring out the energy that children have stored up, I liked that exercise too.  However, I could implement more things, have the children talk more, sing a song or have a closer interaction with the children as everything was very synchronized, it seems that they do this warm up as usual.   Lesson transition strategies The transitions he makes allow the students to avoid monotony and boredom...
