Austin Wisdom CO#3

Leslie's speaking class, 1pm, October 26, 2015

Teacher presentation: Warm-up exercise teaching the proper pronunciation of words ending in -ed. She elaborated on the basic rules of pronunciation with these words and students practiced with a partner pronouncing the words.

She then gave each pair of students a dialogue scenario on a cut piece of paper that prepared students for a situation to practice inviting someone to do something and then the other person politely declining or accepting the invitation. The students enjoyed the activity.

Materials: Cut pieces of paper with a dialogue scenario typed onto them, a white board and projector.

Student participation: The students participated the entire class during partner exercises and dialogue practice.

Feedback to students: Leslie thoughtfully and kindly corrected student mistakes using the repeated questioning technique to encourage students to rethink and correct their errors.

I learned that speaking classes would probably be my favorite to teach because I love helping students with pronunciation and being able to dialogue with students and have class discussions.
