Class Time Reflection (Classroom Dynamics/Nov.10/Week12)

Although I observed classes lots of times during my undergraduate this week observing a teacher was so interesting for me for several reasons. Firstly teaching is totally different from observing. I tried to observe the class as an ethnographer the teacher was so self confident and he was a native speaker these two features were so good sides of him. On the other hand he was dominating the class there was not comprehension check question and this caused to be a teacher centered class. Another point was the material he used was so far away from the students instead of that some familiar materials could be used so that students participation could be provided. Since teacher aim is to help to students to be successful in their life students needs should be the first priority in teaching.
