I think you have a very complete framework here now. It's worth trying if you have the chance. It seems that you follow the order presented in the unit. It's a very safe way to make a plan. You can also try not to follow the pattern when you become more experienced. Say, for example, starting your lesson by a reading activity or a listening activity (about the reading) could be an alternative. No, it is not ridiculous at all.

]]> Comment on Taipei City Long-Men Junior High School Visit on April 1 by Alice http://shellawu.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/13/#comment-7 Alice Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:15:16 +0000 http://shellawu.wordpress.com/?p=13#comment-7 We all know that only staying the school for half day can only give us a general impression. It's also true that observing a teacher for merely 45 minutes can't give us a whole picture of how she usually conducts her lessons. However, I'm happy that you did learn something from the visit. The lesson we observed was basically a lecture-based one, I believe the teacher employs other approaches to make her classes more interesting and meaningful. It's a must that we know how to mix different ingredients to promote the efficacy. Nice report, by the way! :-) We all know that only staying the school for half day can only give us a general impression.

Though we've read so many researches about CLT or other related materials suggesting teachers or teacher-in- training should more emphasize on fluency, it's really hard for us who are borught under the traditional teaching environment to tolerate students repeatedly making errors in the class. Perhaps teachers still can use circumlocution and properly correct students' error in the class, or we can evaluate students ' type of error(global or local) before our correction. Hope we all can be the moderate and professional teachers in future. To Oscarlen:

In the CLT class, teachers may put more focus on students ' fluency; however, sometimes, we couldn't stop oursleves to correct students' mistakes, and this may interrupt students' expression and communication.
