Explanation
The fourth observation was done on Saturday, September 30
th
in class 2MB. First of all, the teacher explained the topic about “Telephoning”. Then, she asked several
students to come in front of the class in pairs to practice telephoning process. This activity did not work well, since the students’ did not really know what to say. There
were no handouts distributed to the students, therefore the teacher wrote the dialogue material on the whiteboard. The teacher tried to give an example to the students so they
were able to make the dialogue of their own. Then, the next activity was reading aloud. In this activity, the teacher read the dialogue written followed by the students. Next,
the teacher asked them to have a discussion and to make a simple dialogue about telephoning so that they would be able to perform it in front of the class. Due to the
limited time, the students were not able to finish their assignment.
