So for my final class observation I observed the wonderful Ramin. I know that they were just watching a movie but I still learned a lot. I really liked the idea that they read a story and then got to see it acted out. I think that could help clarify any issues they were having understanding the story, but I'm sure you probably discussed most of the questions in other classes. Second I thought it was cleaver that you did the i+1 theory. Since it was a listening class I would presume that you wouldn't use subtitles because you want them to listen and not read but since this was a film done in British English that would have probably been an i+15 to understand. Also you stopped in the movie to engage the class by asking them to predict who the characters were and what was going to happen. Overall Ramin you are a great teacher and the praise from your students that day just proves that we are getting taught by one of the best!
Sounds like fun. I get to observe Ramin twice a week. Can I blog about that?
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see how Ramin teaches an English class, but that did not fit my schedule. Interesting to read here!
