Today I observed 3 English classes by different teachers. All the lessons differed. The first was my mentor`s lesson. I like the way she works. Her classes are very well structured leaving no time for students` laughs or chats.The second class was observed by all traineers. Here the teacher communicated more with students asking personal opinions and questions. And the last class...We didn`t arrange our coming with the teacher the day before. So we did it only five minutes before the lesson so she got confused but let us to watch. I and my colleague noticed that she changed the lesson on the spot :)))) I don`t know why but the teachers want to make better impression if they are being observed. Why???? We want to see the real lesson, the way it really is. Then after observing the third class, the teacher made excuses :'this is a very weak class...Level B...'and the like. But anyhow we liked her lesson no matter that students` level is lower...Not long ago I finished the school and still clearly remember that there are and always will be students who are eager to learn, the ones who are not intrested in learning, the ones who try to learn but do not succeed and the like.So there is no need for the teacher to make ecxuses for her class.
I could call the day a good one...except one event. I and my colleague decided to arrange tomorrow`s classes. We thought it would be intresting to observe subject Lithuanian language classes. We went to one teacher and asked if we could observe her lesson the next day. The answer was.... I quote: WHO YOU ARE???WHAT DO YOU WANT?I AM NOT AN ENGLISH TEACHER.WE WONT DO ANYTHING INTRESTING TOMORROW... unquote. Besides, her look was killing.... But finally, she agreed. Sincerely, I don`t want to go to her lesson tomorrow but I have to. Maybe she is going to prepare for it somehow specially and if I won`t come it could be only worse. So I will have to :)
Again, I don`t understand why sheis affraid to accept traineers. We don`t need a show or something like that. We want to see the actual lesson. And her saying' we won`t do anything intresting' suprises me.
But that`s enough about her. All in all, the day was great!Sincerely, I like the school and it`s atmosphere.
