In everyone’s perception, it is undebatable that the abilities of listening and speaking are connected tightly. For group3, it is effective to present a film without showing its subtitles as the warm-up. However, there is one thing I’d like to point out. The worksheet which group3 passed down left me with a bit haste to fill the gaps on it. Maybe it’ll be well modified to leave much amount of words between each blank. On the other hand, I agree with the repetition of role plays which students can be well informed and get to be familiar with the vocabulary. The teaching sequences of group3 are fairly smooth as a whole.
As for group4, wow…the presentation was not so much a real lesson as a TV program. Like the group3, they did well in warm-up. It could be told that they tried their best to create a learning situation authentic to the real life. In addition, I like the website they displayed as the presentation of ppp strategy. The visual aid was graphic and in turn I could focus my concentration all the way to the end of their presentation. Today’s both groups did excellently and had something in common. Among the similarities we’ve talked in class, role play is the part I’m particularly interested in. Since it not only triggers learners’ attention to their peer’s acting, but allows them get to familiarize with the learning concept effectively by way of the process of acting.
