    What did you learn about teaching or learning from this lesson? Discuss your
    observation focus, and the theory you have studied in your TESOL classes. Consider
    the three levels of teacher reflection (surface, pedagogical, critical). (100-200 words)
    In this observation, I focused on the lesson, and specifically, the teaching approach. This
    is a reading and writing class for beginners. The Ss were mostly from middle-east
    countries, three from Japan and two from China. I wanted to see how the teacher helps Ss
    master the vocabulary input and how to make a connection of writing.
    Teacher didn't follow any model, she just explained, and there was no practice or product
    in class. They were just working on the whole project that is famous Americans research.
    She explained the worksheets and told Ss to follow the steps on the worksheets. While
    she was explaining, allowing Ss to check dictionary about their unfamiliar vocabulary.
    Finally, I learned that by explaining with the worksheets, the Ss were able to complete the
    research project step by step. T gave every Ss the outline that can help Ss when they get
    into university they will be able to search the information correctly and effectively.

    What activities/techniques from this class do you want to remember for your own
    teaching practice? Discuss specific ways in which you could apply the techniques and
    methods you saw. Discuss your future teaching environment and your students needs
    and goals. (100-200 words)
    There is no activities. This class is just traditional class, teacher centered. T talk too
    much, and Ss no chance to say something. Maybe this is instruction class, because the
    next class Ss were going to computer lab to complete the project. So in this preparing
    class T just needed to explain and to answer the questions that Ss have.
    I am so interested in beginners' class. However, this class is not as well as I expected. If I
    had a beginners' reading and writing class, I will not allow my Ss to check dictionary. I
    will use simple synonyms or TPR to explain the unknown vocabulary to my Ss, which
    can gives them the better impression than the translation.
