Part Five: Supporting Your Colleagues- providing effective
Microteaching observation reports
Homework Task Nineteen
With a partner in your in-service teacher education program at the Innovation Center, please look over each other’s lesson plans and discern what you would like to observe and how you think you would observe the lesson. Then, find 5-10 colleagues to participate in the micro-teaching practice and video record it. Observe each other and take field notes. Finally, write-up an observation report of your colleague’s micro-teaching.
I observed Umida Tursunova’s lesson on the topic “Teaching Present Indefinite tense through TBL composing advertising material”.
The Lesson is logically organized. Teacher had stated content, language and cultural objectives in each lesson, however, they are too general and that is why it was impossible to judge how well the student met his objectives. Teacher tried to follow the required stages of the lesson and included warm-up, formal instruction, guided practice and communicative activities to teach lesson. Teacher provided teacher instructions and student direction in bullet points which wasted the space.
All the activities integrated at least two skills and they were meaningful. Moreover, she stated the status of the speakers at the beginning of the dialogues (in contrasting dialogues) and provided enough prompts for students to work (in communicative activities). Teacher used variety of strategies to make his lessons more communicative (pair work group work, group discussions)
The Teacher used the language which was understandable and appropriate to her target learners.
Teacher used analytic rubric to assess his learners although the descriptors need to be revised and specified.
One of the strength of the lesson is that the Teacher tried hard to sequence the acts in logical way. Another positive side of this lesson is that it included many strategies of CLT approach such as pair work, group work and group discussions.
However, there are several places that need modification. Firstly, the objectives are too general, as it was mentioned above and I suggested using Bloom’s taxonomy to state the objectives. Secondly, bullet points should be avoided while providing teacher instructions and student directions. After observing and analyzing this lesson realized that it would be better if I gave the samples to start the conversation as he did (for free practice).
In general, the lesson gave positive impression and it was obvious that Teacher did her best to lead the lesson.
