My Observation

On the 22th of March I observed an oral communication class. The class was a little big and there were about forty chairs which were grey. There were no technological equipments and the walls were light blue. There was a panel which was drawn by students with some caricatures. The class was light and the cap was high. There were one table which was rectangle and also one teacher table which had a different style than normal tables. Teacher came in and he was wearing pink shirt, on his shirt there was a dark green feather and he was wearing a pair of black trousers on black shoes. There is not any part which attracts students’ attention too much. When he came into the class he said to students to put their cell phones on their bags. After he said good afternoon to his students, he ordered his table and started to take attendance. He looked like a little angry and his students seemed like nervous and stressful. He divided the class in three groups and they could see their faces but also they were in separate groups. He carried his chair in front of the class and sat in the middle of these groups. He asked about what they did lastly, students answered him, as a result they reminded information which was given in previous lessons. After that they opened their books and started to read a part which teacher said to read. The subject was visual aids and its types. Then he made all class speak about what they understood from the passage and joined them with his own examples. Besides, he wanted from students to do the exercises on the book, after they finished it, they started to answer. There was a student whose duty was making a speaking game, the teacher allowed her to do her game and sat at the back of the class.
