Classroom dynamics
Can you define a GROUP?
The group is a collection of same-minded people. There has to be interaction between members. If there is no interaction, be it physical or oral, that is not a group. There has to be a shared goal.
The meaning of this method should be connected directly with the target language without translating to the native language.
The direct method
What are the aims of the teaching and learning process?
Transmission of knowledge, imparting skills and formation of attitude
What three useful strategies do you remember to better manage your classroom?
•Motivating the students.
•Managing the constraints
•Managing the teacher’s role
Can you define a leader?
? Someone who sets an example in attitude and action. He/she must be adaptive and willing to walk the talk in order to lead all the group members to the goal. A good leader can lead to a friendlier atmosphere and better inter-member relationship
It is an oral-based approach to drill students in the use of grammatical sentence patterns.
(Hint: Ss can practice newly learned grammar structures by repeating over and over after the teacher)
Audio-lingual method
What are the main components of the teaching & learning process?
1 - Learner
2 - Teacher
3 - Objectives
4 - Monitoring & Assessment & Evaluation
How many types of motivation can you name?
1 - Intrinsic
2 - Extrinsic
What is the classroom dynamics?
Classroom dynamics refer to the interactions and relationships among students, teachers, and the learning environment in a classroom setting. It includes the social, emotional, and behavioral aspects of the classroom that influence the overall learning experience for students
Which method teaches language through physical activity?
Total physical response
Can you name the phases/steps of the teaching process?
1 - Planning for teaching
2 - Implementation of teaching(Introducing teaching/learning objectives, Assessing learners’ prior knowledge, Implementing the teaching methods)
3 - Assessment & Evaluation of Teaching
What is the best strategy to deal with the "Back row distractor"?
•Use eye contact while continuing to speak
•Stop mid-sentence and stare until the student stops.
•Talk with the student after class to investigate the cause
Can negative classroom dynamics help Ss learn better?
Effective classroom dynamics can create a positive and supportive learning environment, while negative dynamics can hinder learning and student outcomes.
In this method, the student learns primarily by translating to and from the target language
Grammar translation method
What major tasks (responsibilities) of a teacher do you know? (Number and types)
1 - Planning
2 - Communications
3 - Providing Resources
4 - Counselling
5 - Assessment
6 - Continuous self education
How would you deal with the Overexuberant Student (extremely active and willing to speak all the time)
•Interrupt with "Thanks for that" and call on someone else to continue
•Remind the student that there will be more talking time soon in groups
•Talk to the student individually later
What one simple thing would you do to improve your classroom dynamics?
Anything conducive to increasing classroom dynamics is acceptable!😊
What method is more appropriate to teach high-level learners?
CLL or GTM
Communicative language learning
Try to name as many learning phases/steps as you can!
•Motivation phase
•Apprehending phase
•Acquisition phase
•Retention phase
•Recall phase
•Generalization phase
•Feedback phase
If students seem reluctant to join in group work what would you do?
Explain that groups are a chance to speak without the teacher noticing mistakes.
Make the purpose of each activity clear beforehand.
Start with self-selected groupings, SO that students are working with people they know or like
