Round 2

I taught two different kinds of classes this week, one was a regular speaking class which is graded. This consists of 24 students. The other is a "hagwon" style class consisting of 15 students.
I took 10 minute video clips of each of them to see if there were any differences.
What i noticed from my first viewing is that i tended to talk too much and not give the students enough time to answer questions. So I tried to work on this.
What i noticed from my transcripts was that i asked more open questions than closed questions. i will take this as a positive as it gives more opportunity for the students to say their opinions and use their English in a variety of different ways and scenarios.
In the first video (of general class) I was the one asking the questions and was making the choices of who speaks. This i thought was a negative thing as it restricts students who want to speak from speaking so i will take that into consideration for next weeks classes.
What i thought was good was that most of the questions were referential dialogic questions.
In the 2nd class (hagwon) I made it so the students asked the questions to other students, student initiated interaction. This proved successful, as it gave students a chance to practice the intonation with the questions they were asking, which was the purpose of the exercise. The only problem was the questions became so interesting I lost focus and did not keep up with correcting the intonation, but only kept discussion going. I still felt it was productive. I have to stay on task next time.
With regards to feedback i used reformation of students ideas most of the time. I did not want to disrupt the flow of the discussions so corrected the students when the discussion broke up.
