My Second Teaching Observation at RUPP

I have observed another teacher today. This time the class I went to is not so far from where I parked my car but it is so high from the ground. It's on the sixth floor of building A. I wish there had been an elevator or escalator.

I was a bit late for the class. I didn't how the teacher started the lesson, but I bet he might have directly gone straight with the book. The first hour I was in the class I heard no students' response. The students were extremely passive. Only the teacher talked. He kept talking and talking and didn't seem to care about encouraging students to talk. What else? The teacher seemed like a translator than a teacher. He just read the text then translate key words for the students. Besides, he didn't even touch the board. To avoid misunderstanding, he should have written something on the board whether it was the date, the title of the lesson he was teaching or the answer of the exercises.

My first observation on RUPP Teacher of English

Today I left my home around 1:30PM to observe an English class at RUPP which started at 2:00PM. I went there a bit early because I had to do two things. First, I had to make copies of some documents. Second, I didn't want to be late on my first observation class.

The class that I had to observe is in Building C which is quite far from where I parked my car. I had to walk to the class under a hot sunny day. It was terribly hot inside the class and mixed with the noise created by the students, the atmosphere just didn't make me feel alright. Having been in the classroom for a few minutes, I finally saw the teacher coming into the class. His name is Song Sokun. He's wearing a smart dress and eyeglasses. My first impression on him told me that he is an experienced teacher.
