Today at the end of this class, we were broke down into small groups, and shared our video selected about 10-15 minutes from our ESL teaching class with our group members. After watching, each member exchanged their thoughts/ideas about what they see from this video and responded to each other in what we could improve our teaching from their eyes. I like this activity a lot because the feedback or response we gain might be our blind spots of teaching, which we don’t see ourselves. In my case, I didn’t know that I didn’t make a clear of definition of thesis statement while teaching in the class, even after watching the video a couple of times. I think this is such a good activity for these who are prospective teachers to polish their teaching skills.

I think that the video analysis is a good tool, both for self correction and for patting yourself on the back for what you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we forget that we do do things well.
I am thankful that human beings are very flexible, so that just as we adjust to our students, they adjust to us.
