Observation Stage

Task 2
The learners

It is a little bit complicated to work with the 8th level, because they are not interested in English, for that reason Jose Luis Tapia (guide English teacher), brings to the classes the data show and displays interesting material, for example: famous pop, rock or reggeaton stars, for calling their attention. In my personal point of view children like the English teacher gives them everything because they do not like writing, speaking or even to hearing him. For that reason in this subject the teacher speaks in Spanish since children do not understand much English.

Behavior during classroom activities

Most of the time teacher ask them questions about something that is related to the unit of study, few of them answer but they do it in Spanish, so the English teacher translates the sentence in order to he or she repeats it in English. Another way to encourage the class participation is by working on some activity for winning some extra points for the test.And the last one I think is the best. The teacher created a blog where students can find extra material, worksheets and also contests where the big prizes are points that they can use it at any test.

Discuss the learning styles and levels of English in the classroom.

The teacher use the classical way, it means in front of them trying to explain the exercises, asking questions about the unit, but it is a bit complicated, because most of the time kids at the bottom of the classroom do not stop talking and that interrupts the activity.The teacher’s English level is very good, but he has to give instructions in Spanish because children do not understand English pretty well, so, in this class the teacher uses just a 60% of English.
