Post Observation Feedback

The student teacher observed their English lesson at school and identified several critical issues. [1] The students were very noisy and used offensive swearing frequently in their normal interactions, which was shocking. [2] One of the teacher's main fears was losing proficiency in English since teachers do not have many opportunities to speak English at school, usually only during their own lessons. [3] When discussing these issues with their university supervisor, the supervisor told the teacher they needed to change their methodology, but the teacher felt they were asked to use that methodology and were unhappy with their teaching, though they had tried to change and saw some improvement.

Post- observation feedback - REFLECTION

Instructions:

Going back to the moment you were giving your lesson at school, what aspects do
you identify as critical once you have finished the lesson? Refer about your own
expectations, fears and resolutions.

I felt that everyone would shout out loud, and wouldnt let me do the class. However, it was
partially true. I reckon that one of the critical points that Ive identified many times during
my professional teaching practice is noise. Students are too noisy, and they tend to swear a
lot, but not little swearing, awful ones, very offensive ones. They treat each other in this
way, it is not something that they do once theyre angry, and its their normal treatment.

This is something that is very shocking to me; Im not used to working with those kinds of
students.

One of my main fears is the possibility of losing the good command of English. Usually, at
schools we, as teachers, do not have many opportunities to speak in English, obviously, we
can speak the whole class in English, but we tend to speak alone.

Also refer about feelings that came up when socializing the above issues with the
supervisor from the university.

The supervisor told me many things that I have in mind for many weeks. Ive got to change
the methodology Ive been applying, because its the same all teachers do. Id like to say
that I was asked to do it like it, so Im not happy about my teaching. However, Ive been
trying to change it, and it has given good results.

One of the things that Id fancy doing is the methodology called TBLT, however the
students are not capable of following that rhythm due to the fact that TBLT is supposed to
be focused on immersion or second language programs, and my students are not very good
at English, they dont even speak anything in English. Ive tried to make them speak, but
they dont fancy it.
