This chapter gave me two great examples of proper versus ineffective teaching techniques for ESL instructors. The videos were very educational because in a sense, I got to view a lesson “from the students’ perspective”. The lesson in the first video, from the get go, made students feel confused. Consequently, the teacher’s disorganized lesson made students hesitant to participate because they were not able to follow the lesson. Little things that the teacher did, such as forgetting students’ names or making a big deal of late comers resulted in discomfort amongst the students. However, I noticed that little things that teachers do can also make a significantly positive impact on the learning success of students. Smiling, giving positive feedback, providing thorough instructions, and learning student names are a few of the many things that a teacher can do to show students that they are respected and encouraged to be more involved in the lesson. The teacher in the second video clearly prepared his lesson beforehand - he already had his whiteboard ready for the engage activity, he only had to refer to his lesson plan paper a couple times, he had all his props prepared, and he had enough worksheets for the entire class.
