X Teaching Reflection

Group8

In this lesson, I adopted Task-based Learning and I tried to make the class student-centered and acted as an organizer and instructor. Most of the students did a really good job in each task, especially in the last group activity，where 3 groups got 100% correct answers; 4 groups got 90% and only one group got 80% correct answers. Not only have the students mastered the skills about how to analyze a complex sentence in a relaxing and interesting way but also they have developed cooperative learning as well as independent learning. Meanwhile, they have experienced a positive emotion about life. That is----don’t be afraid and be the best of yourself with what you have.

In addition, I handed out a piece of paper about the guidance learning for this lesson to each student before class, which helped a lot in my class. With the help of the guidance learning, the students found it easier to catch up with the teaching procedures. Furthermore, homework was very important for the students to consolidate what they had learned in this lesson. However, there were still some things to improve. First, a few students were not used to learning in groups so that they did not play an active role in the discussion. Besides, a certain number of students were used to answering questions and discussing in Chinese rather than in English. At last, it was a pity that there were no appositive clauses in the text materials. Anyway, as an English teacher, I still need some teaching wits to help those students to participate in group work and encourage them to speak English instead of Chinese in my class and I will make every effort to improve my teaching step by step.
