Topic/Skill: Grammar/ Level 3B

Teacher Presentation: Grammar: adjectives, gerunds and complex prepositions

            Today, I observed Candace’s class. Candace greeted me and then she asked the students to ask any question that they might have about me. She announced a written and an oral quiz and gave details about it. Then she reviewed finite and non-finite clauses. She had the students write a couple of clauses and went around the classroom helping them as needed. Then she had a review with the students about their clauses and corrected errors. She showed a PowerPoint with a few clauses to be rearranged and asked for volunteers to do so. For the last activity, Candace had a cup full of clauses, each written on strips of paper and each student had to come up in front of the class, take two strips of paper and combine the clauses that were written on each strip. I could appreciate how much the students enjoyed the class with Candace. I could see in her class how effective it is to use the teaching methods I have learned in the TEFL class.
