This afternoon I observed Ramin's speaking class for group 4 students. Several students were asked to present a PowerPoint featuring a topic they are passionate about or a critical issue to the class. Some topics we heard about were Ebola, "Math is not boring", Interior Design, and Architecture. The students used visual aids and opened their presentations with questions and other attention grabbing methods. Common errors I observed were misused articles and prepositions and improper pronunciation. Ramin asked each student follow up questions immediately after their presentations, and at the conclusion of class he turned it into a discussion. Students claimed they enjoyed interactivity, evident passion, music, and personal stories used in the presentations. Ramin recorded the presentations and will upload them and send them to the students so they may hear themselves. I will definitely keep some of Ramin's teaching methods in mind during my tutoring sessions!
