Critiques on the ESA first video:
- (neg) no visual information on the board/ did not write the question on the board in the beginning
-(neg) awkward atmosphere, the teacher seems like he is not professional
-(positive)the teacher had printed signs
-(positive) the teacher wrote the grammar on the board with two different colors to show ‘have to’/’ do not have to’
-(pos) the teacher engaged with many students
- (neg) the teacher talked to himself a lot/ he mumbled a lot
-(neg) the end of the class did not seem to have a conclusion
To be honest, I did not like the teacher’s manner in the ESA demo 1 at all. He seemed to be somewhat scatterbrained even though he had a lesson and prepared materials. I think he would have benefitted from having a more professional attitude as well as making sure the students understood the grammar concept and game. He could have given a lot more examples, including an example of how to play the game. It was almost painful to watch because he seemed so awkward as a teacher.
ESA second video:
- (positive) he introduced himself and asked the students’ names
- (positive) he engaged the students in the beginning and talked to many students
- (positive) it was a friendly atmosphere
- (positive) the language point was written on the board at the beginning of the lesson
- (positive) the teacher seemed professional
- (positive) nice conclusion of class with all of the students using the grammar point
I thought the second ESA demo was much better. The teacher’s manner was much more professional and he wrote more on the board for the visual learners in the class. The students can also write these notes and use them for study /reference materials. He gave clear instructions so the students were not confused. When a student came in late, he acknowledged them, but it did not disrupt the lesson.
