In video one , teacher stars lesson without engage phase which is very necessary to warm up the students and stimulate them to participate in class activities .Teacher usually doesn’t speak clearly and chew the word and it is very difficult to understand and he doesn’t have smile on his face to give energy to students to participate in the class activity .He speaks in higher level than students knowledge and it makes them not to understand what the teacher says . students are happy and interested in learning and teacher use some signs and picture to teach them .the students are confused as the aim of class is not known and they don’t know what they are going to do or learn and the teacher doesn’t explain more to students about for example: have to and its usage and its question form and negative form and students are really confused in this condition. He hardly uses students name and point with his finger to students to ask question. Students gradually become board. He gives question to each student which makes the students not to have interaction with each other which is very important. Teacher never monitors students work to solve student's problem and help them to remove their difficulties. In activate stage teacher don’t know how many students are in his class as he supposed to know according to his lesson plan. Because he hasn’t gave sufficient information about the game , all students are confused and they don’t know what to do and are not familiar with rule of game , so the teacher and student don’t get the good result .
In second video teacher stars the class and engage phase by introducing himself and asking students name and welcoming each one. Then he elicit the information they have learnt may be in last section about modal verb CAN to both review or engagement in class activity by writing some exercise in board and asking students to fill the gap in order to student talk and engagement in class activity. He smiles and it makes students to be confident and participate in class activity. Of course when he becomes sure that all students know the rule he starts to ask everyone but randomly in order to have attention of class in subject. Teacher stars the study phase very professionally by elicitation and ask as much as question from students which is the base form of board work then explain the language point .After language point is covered the work sheets is distributed to every group of 2 or 3 students and the purpose of it is both monitoring students work and having student to student interaction . In activity phase, because students know the rule of game they try to participate and ask each other questions according the questionnaire and winner of game will be the person who quickly get answer of questions from his or her classmate.
