HOMEWORK TASK EIGHTEEN

There are two parts to Homework Task Eighteen:

First, address the issues in your lesson plan according to the feedback you received from your three colleagues throughout the workshop. Second, choose one section of the lesson plan that you want to use for your microteaching. The one section should be approximately 15-20 minutes long. Explain in one page why you chose this section to use for your microteaching assessment.

I had a microteaching on the topic “Sport idioms”. My Graduate project work theme is “Developing linguistic competence teaching through sport idiomatic expressions”. The main goal of my lessons is to improve the students’ grammar, speaking, enlarging their vocabulary and teach how to use them in situations, learn how to express their opinion using problem solving method. In my lessons I used strategic and communicative approach to explain grammar in the text and vocabulary. After the microteaching I got feedback from my colleagues.

Sanjar Eshchanov’s feedback:

In the lesson there were a lot of interesting activities which maintained to develop linguistic competence. After a warming activity we ourselves tried explore the topic and start discussion. We worked cooperatively and developed our integrated skills. The instructions were given properly and the teacher was a facilitator for the students.

Feruza Jalolova’s feedback:

We have learned how the teacher introduced the topic, lead the students into the topic, developed the students speaking and vocabulary related to the topic through problem solving activities. We did a useful activity that will enlarge our vocabulary and the thing I most liked was the students were relaxed and open.

Dilafruz Sobirova’s feedback:

The teacher organised the lesson in a good way. He made her speech sensible with eye-contact to her students. His instructions were clear and the students reacted immediately. The lesson has been well developed and students learnt a lot about the topic. They explored the topic, made some resolutions concerning sport idioms.

I organized my lesson so that my students would be able to work in three groups. A chose warm up activity which would create opportunity to start conversation. This enabled me to have a good start of the lesson and my students to feel comfortable, not embarrassed.

Then I showed them videos on “Sport idioms” and involved them into discussion, after which we learned some vocabulary and searches for their definitions using their pocket dictionaries which witnessed that phones were useful tools as well. The students shared the information they received through problems and solutions and expressed their opinions on the topic. They worked mostly in groups and sometimes in pairs, tried to activate the learnt vocabulary in speech. After that they did reading tasks, but while performing this task they were encouraged to tell about their option or choice and prove. Their peers listened to them and then either agreed or disagreed with them stating their point in the case.

Afterwards I asked them to prepare presentation to explore and summarize the topic. They were given time and worked in groups. The students did their best. They have learned the main idea of the activity through consolidation and asking the questions. The feedback I receive was incredibly useful for me. My colleagues gave me positive feedbacks. The main points of the feedback were: the lesson was aimed to teach idioms and phrases related to sport and the teacher tried whatever so that students can understand the topic and gain knowledge on common sport idioms. All of the students were involved in the lesson and it was real kind of interactive lesson. The atmosphere in the classroom was friendly. The students were enthusiastic and active. They tried to work cooperatively and developed their speaking, advanced vocabulary and integrated skills. Areas to improve: I should use more interesting activities to improve student’s linguistic competences and their communicative skills, use different techniques during the lessons.
